Another week of being home for a while and then heading back to work. Although I think I'm glad to be back at work so I can finally get some rest. My wife and I were busy just about the whole time that I was home. Saturday was spent painting, well picking up some small test paint samples and painting, and running errands. Sunday we spent most of the day with my grandparents; giving my grandmother a break and helping out with my grandfather. He's back home now but still has a ways to go. Monday we ran some other errands that I can't even remember what we all we did and then bought a new car for my wife. An Acura RDX if you're interested; a bit more expensive that I really wanted to spend on a vehicle but hers was old and starting to break down and she really wanted it. We were debating between the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Acura RDX but went with the RDX because it drove better and had a few more features she wanted for about $5k more from the quote we got on the Santa Fe. I figured since she has to deal with me being gone a lot she deserved a bit of a luxury in the meantime. Tuesday we spent a solid 5.5 hours cleaning out our garage. It was still a big mess from when we moved last year and it feels great to finally get it cleaned out and organized. Then it was back to work. So it was a pretty busy week in general.

The first full week of 2014 has now flown by and it sure was a busy one for me. We finished drilling another well and I was able to head home early Thursday morning. I finally got home around 4 am and promptly crashed in bed with my wife for an hour...

Somehow yet another week has flown by. I had to head back to work but I was just glad I got the weekend off and got to spend it having fun with my wife. Thankfully no other issues with the house to have to take care of. This week was done in a flash,...

This past week has been really busy. We signed all of the papers on Monday but unbeknownst to us, the sellers weren't going to be at the title company until later that afternoon so we didn't get the keys until later that evening. It's...

Well my first attempt at the roundup for this week went horribly wrong. I had finished and scheduled it for yesterday morning and then wanted to add one more thing to it and changed my mind. Needless to say I didn't save it again and then it got...
