New Desk!

Holy moly productively busy weekend for Rob and me! Yesterday, Rob worked 6 hours at Quantum and today he has his regular 8 at Cutter that allows him access to the company plane. It has given me a ridiculous amount of time to get caught up on work, which was probably a good thing. I spent the better part of yesterday working on my online classwork. I am trying to finish the work that is due next Tuesday so I can relax and enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend. Right now I am just over half done. Hopefully, I will have some time at school tomorrow and Tuesday to finish up the remaining half. When Rob came home from work we headed over to our friends, Jason and Shannon's house for dinner. We all watched the U of A/Oregon game and then headed over to Jason's aunt's house to pick up a desk. We were super lucky because his aunt just wanted the desk gone and didn't want any money for it, and Jason and Shannon thought of us/our need for furniture in our potential new house! We smooshed the desk into our apartment, and while it's a fairly bootleg setup, it is really nice to have a second desk!

Here is a picture of the desk...

...And another of the eat-in dining area all switched about to fit the new desk.

We woke up early this morning to work at the new desk! I made homemade biscuits, eggs and bacon for breakfast, and Rob and I sat down to finish our mortgage application. Talk about a project. The first ridiculous task was figuring out all the bank/mortgage language. The second was determining all of our assets and liabilities, and then organizing all the paperwork. It seems like all we have left to do now is make copies tomorrow and we are set. I spoke with Ed this evening and he said that the bank is 75% through the short sale process. He was very excited about the progress that is being made. I am too, but I really just want to be 100% through and have our offer accepted. I'm definitely learning patience I suppose.

I've been grading and searching for Pepperidge Farm bread to make Grandma Edna's stuffing recipe all afternoon. I have quite a to do list to accomplish over the next few days, but am definitely looking forward to a lil break from school and spending time with Rob's parents for Thanksgiving!

Wishing everyone a happy (early) Thanksgiving...because it will likely be after Thanksgiving when I update next with pictures and stories of Rob's parents' visit! Love, Sarah and Rob
