Happy Birthday, Don!

Happy Birthday, Vickie!! I couldn't find a picture or I would have posted one.

We hope that you two have a wonderful birthday.

Moved!

Mark Baylor — Thu, 01 May 2008 15:49:48 GMT

We have closed on the new house and are working on getting everything unpacked. This move was incredibly easy because of the moving company. Literally all we have had to do is unpack our stuff. We have decided that as we unpack if there is something we won't use or haven't used we are either throwing it away or giving it to Goodwill.

Once we are settled in I will take pictures of the house with our stuff, but for now the pictures of the empty house will have to do. I tried to name the pictures so that you can at least get a general idea of which room they are. Here is the link for all of the pictures.

The top picture on the left is the view as you walk into the house. You can see the living room which is open to the dining room and the kitchen.

The bottom picture on the left is from the kitchen. This picture shows how the kitchen is open to the living room. To Mark's right is where the dining room is located. We have a sliding glass door that opens to the patio out back. We plan on eventually making the concrete patio into a paved brick patio.

The picture on the right is of the main bathroom. You can see the two colors that the previous owner painted the walls. We are not sure what rooms we are going to repaint.

Our stuff is in the truck

Mark Baylor — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 00:26:06 GMT

Well, the movers have packed all of our stuff. It filled the whole semi, but they did say that they could have packed the truck higher and fit more items if we had more. The final item into the semi was the lawn tractor! The house is now empty except for a couch, bed, and dresser that will be Jeff's.

We have our final walk through at the new house tomorrow and we close on Monday. The movers will be at our new house early Tuesday morning to move all of our stuff into the house. Then it's unpacking for us. We did have the option to have them unpack all of our items but I would rather do it myself because then we can put everything where we want.

Mark will be back to work on Thursday and I will start my new job on Monday. I can't believe we are almost Wisconsin residents (officially that is).

Here are all of the moving pictures.

The tulips bloomed

Mark Baylor — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 00:14:24 GMT

We were in the house in Rockton long enough to see the tulips bloom. They are beautiful!! Some were just one color like most tulips you think of, but a few of them were a mixture between a few colors. Click here for all of the pictures of the blooming tulips.

Thank again mom!

Moving begins

Mark Baylor — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:40:05 GMT

The moving company came early this morning. We figured that they would be here around 8 but they showed up around 7:15. There is a huge semi outside of our house. It will take 3 days or less to get everything out.

Right now they are packing up stuff in the garage and basement. Not too many more days in this house. It's bitter sweet because this was our first house plus our first house together. After Monday it will just be exciting!!

Check out the other moving pictures here.

Happy Birthday April!!

Today is April's glorious birthday. She is 26, and likes long walks on the beach. What else is there to say?

April got a new job with Enercon Industries

Mark Baylor — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 01:59:09 GMT

April just accepted a new job as an Accountant with Enercon Industries today. This is exciting news because now she can come up and stay with her wonderful husband. We have been apart now for about a month and a half.

The new job gives April the opportunity to take over the current Controller's position, who will be retiring in 4 years. This is a fantastic career move for April and I am incredibly excited for her.

A bad buyer made a liar out of us. Our house is back on the market.

Mark Baylor — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 01:53:45 GMT

Unfortunately, our house is back on the market. A bad buyer decided that she didn't need to fulfill her obligation of a legally binding document, so here we sit with 2 houses. Hopefully with spring coming our house will sell again to another more deserving buyer.

We are still moving into our new house, which is the lucky news.

So it goes.

SOLD!

Mark Baylor — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 00:01:02 GMT

The sign is up...the house is SOLD! Our closings will be on April 28 and we will officially be Wisconsin residents, or as everyone at work calls me a "cheese head."

We are getting really excited to move into our new house. There are so many things we want for the new house. We want to decorate it better than our current house, we want new furniture, new appliances, and I'm sure there will be more once we are settled in.

The job hunt is still a hunt. :) There are a few positions that the two recruiters have connected me with so hopefully I will hear something from them soon. I also have to call another company tomorrow to talk about a position. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

If you look very closely (click on the picture for it to be bigger) you can see the tulips blooming. My mom gave us a bag of tulips and we would have been able to see them bloom this year. I'm hoping that they will bloom before we move and then we might get to enjoy tulips at both houses.

This picture is a close up of one of the tulips. I wanted my mom to see how they are doing and since she won't be able to make it up here to see them, this will have to do. Thanks again for them, mom!
