The good and the not so great

So I went up to Portola this weekend and got my Hannah fix along with having lots of fun with Jessica, Mike, and Tavie. We had lots of fun and I spent a lot of time hanging out with the girls (which means Tavie pulled my hair while Hannah brushed it). The drive up and back is tedious to say the least, but I'm very glad I went. Hannah was pretending to use a microphone and she'd ask us "Whats your name?" and then we'd say our names. I told her my name was Auntie Misty shipley and she looked at me for a second and then said "Thats not a good name! Your Auntie Misty!" I've missed all the silly little things that the girls pick up and say or do.
Awesomely when i finally got home I walked in the door (ready to fall on the floor and sleep there for 3 days) and my living room was clean. Then I walked into the kitchen and lo and behold, it's clean too! Then I went to the bathroom and it was clean and heres the real kicker: THE BEDROOM WAS SPOTLESS! I don't think I've seen the floor in there since we moved in here. Doug cleaned the entire house and played it down saying "I just lazed around" so he could suprise me. Then i found out that on Saturday after he worked a full day in St. George he unloaded all of the bricks in my parents truck without telling anyone anything. He spent the weekend doing selfless acts for others and suprising them. I'm so glad I married such a sweet guy.
So on the not so great side of things only today did our finished final paperwork on our house go to rural housing. That means it's going to be about two to three weeks before we can close on the house. I knew it was all too good to be true to close on a house in only a month =) I'll just have to hold out a little longer, but at least we have time to pack up our things for real. Pray that the papers go through faster than two weeks time so we can finally own our own house!
