For those of you who have been wondering, we getting closer to our closing date. If all things go as planned, we will be closing September 26th! Less than two weeks now. Yeah!
Part of the deal was they had to finish a bathroom re-model they had started and since they have already moved, they only have weekends to get it done. They have been here the last two weekends and have one more before closing. We will have to paint it, but it will be nice to have a nice, new bathroom to move into!
Our other "concern" is the fact that they didn't have abstracts on the back lots and therefore couldn't get title insurance, so we have been suckered into paying for half of that....we have to have it to get our mortgage! Don't you just love things like this? It is about to drive me nuts!
But the good news is, things are moving along and we can take a big relaxing breath in a couple of months. Matter of fact, Jeremy will be helping with the cattle sale in about 8 weeks and once that is over, we will be able to completely move on from this stage in our lives!

In other news, I have a great story about Preston and his best friend Kirsten. We were at the high school football game Friday night when Kirsten showed up and sat with us. Preston had worn his OU cap to the game and Kirsten immediately picked it up and asked, "Is this hat boomer sooner?" Preston said, "yes, want to wear it?" She replied, "Sure, can I go show my mom?" (Sidenote: Mom gradutated from KSU as did all brothers and sisters and entire family are BIG KSU fans...sort of like we are with OU).
She comes back and Preston starts telling her that OU players are bigger than the Timberwolf players because they are college and he is going to be OU when he goes to college. Kirsten agrees, "Yeah I want to go there too, but I can't play football since I am a girl, so I will have to be a cheerleader." So here we are on the verge of them both turning 5 and they have their future planned! It was too funny to sit and listen to them talk!
But the funniest part of the evening came when I told the kids I needed to use the restroom and asked if either of them did. Yep, they did, so I said let's go. We were sitting about halfway up and Emily (K's mom) was all the way at the top. Kirsten goes to the end of the bench, cups her hands around her mouth and in her loudest outside voice says, " Mom I have to go pee! Can I go?" I immediately try to quite her, but man can she talk fast. I waved to mom and told her that I had it covered and of course we all got tickled (and by all, I mean anyone sitting between the two of us!).
It was decided on Friday that the Hackney's cannot move and neither can we, because the kids won't know what to do without each other! I think it's great that Preston has found a good friend already and what makes it even better is that I actually like her too!
