100 Down…..

So earlier this month I hit my mark of losing over 100 pounds. It has been a little emotional hitting this milestone. I don’t recall the last time I was this weight. I remember a time in the 90s when I dropped a lot of weight while working at Target. I recall one day seeing my best friend’s girlfriend at work wearing MY shirt. My […]

Ex-Wives are the worst

My Ex seems to not be able to let me go. She is always commenting to my son about me, or things I do. My son will complain to her and she will comment that I’m a horrible person and not a real parent, etc. Yet who is housing our son, raising him, helping with his needs? Not the lady that moved to the next […]

Life continues

Many things have happened recently. We hooked back up with our old, great realtor Andy Prasky, and have been pleased with him now as in the past. We feel we are in good hands. The housing market has slowed, we knew it was going to happen, but we still have faith. My mother found out last week that she will need to under go a Carotid […]

Stay away from Rod Schimmel!

Last night we made the decision to hold off on the whole house/townhouse process. We are going to wait until we get back from our Vacation in July before we make our next move. We were disappointed with our last realtor. He kept making promises about communicating with us, but never followed through. There were several times where weeks went by without a phone call […]

Hold on

Well we have made a couple of changes. This weekend we decided that we are not going to sell out house. At least not for the summer. We want to be able to enjoy the summer more with the kids. So today I’m going to be calling the Realtor and tell him that we are canceling the contract. We might look at putting it back […]

We booked our vacation for this year.  We […]
