It's Official!

I am now a homeowner! I just bought my first condo! It hasn't totally sunk in yet that it is mine. Mostly because it is still a little chaotic with boxes and such...and I haven't gotten my first mortgage payment yet. That should be about the time it'll hit me.

I'll post pictures as soon as the chaos is put away. It is amazing that the majority of the crap that I have is for the kitchen. Well, I do have a lot of furniture that I have been collecting...mostly from my grandmother who decides that she needs new couches every year and a half....so, I am going to have to sell or donate some of it. I currently have two six foot couches, 1 love seat, two oversized chairs, one armless chair, a HUGE coffee table, a gigantic tv that Sean talked me into buying with a big-ass entertainment center that it sits in, and other miscellaneous pieces that all need to fit into a 1164 square foot condo. Needless to say, I will be getting rid of about half of it, putting one chair up in my room, and putting a couple things in storage if needed. Then, in about another six months or so, it should be time for the next round of couches. I am excited about these cause these are nice leather ones....

I am excited to be planted somewhere. And, Kendra has moved in with me so that she can save up money to buy a condo for herself. I have been working my fingers to the bone over the last few days painting, moving, unpacking....I need a vacation! Not to mention something for my fingers....I am having major problems typing with bandaids on my knuckles.

We found some reindeer antlers that we bought for Kalvin last Christmas....thought we'd try them on Bentley. He was a good sport. Yet somewhat disgusted at the same time. Stupid Humans.

Bentley's First Photo shoot...hehe

This is the first opportunity I have had to take some good photos of Bentley. This is one of my favorites....He's such a good boy!

I love Photo Booth

The is the best thing about having a mac...

out of touch...

So, I have been out of touch for a while. Many change have been taking place around here...again. As you all know, K, G, and myself all moved within 4 weeks of each other last fall, and it nearly killed us. Well, as "luck" would have it, we are all moving again. At the same time. Within 2 weeks of each other. heh. Mom says she is retired.

G got a job in Orange County, so he put all of his stuff in storage (or the little that was not already in storage) and moved in with one of his buddies.

I bought a condo that I will be moving into next week. So, all of my stuff will be coming out of storage.

And, Kendra is moving in with me. So, she and Gary moved their combined storage to Escondido, and we will be moving all of her stuff that is left into the condo with me.

Thus, we are all moving again. It seems that S is the only stable one!

Two posts ago, I spoke of getting my life back. And, while we gave notice to the "Owner from Hell," we have still been busy making up the units that we lost to get back on track again. Have you ever heard that expression about peeling back the layers of an onion? Well, that dude turned out to have a lot of nasty layers and we hadn't even gotten to the center of it yet! Not only did he turn out to be flat broke, but he had no insurnace on his properties, was delinquent in his property taxes for over a year, was also deliquent in his city taxes, had NO money to repair ANYTHING on his properties, and to top it all off, we found out that he was sleeping with his residents in exchage for rent money. He was a lawsuit waiting to happen and we got the heck outta there! We have never been so happy in our lives! It was a great learning experience.... Now we do not rely on any owner's word...we get the proof sucka!
