Home Sweet Home

As most of you know, Mike and I have spent the past month on buying a house. Since it is a foreclosure that we are trying to buy, the process seems to be a little longer than the normal one. Rest assured, good news came down the pipe today...we are closing on this house on March 11th!!(Baring anything stupid happening, that is the date we are shooting for) So it's almost official!

Since all of you have been waiting in suspense on what the new Gressler home may look like, I've decided to post some pictures of our future home...

Lovely, isn't?? This is what we will get to come home everyday and where we will finally get to call our home.

Here is the house from the back. We all were enjoying the time outside, checking out the house while enjoying the sunshine.

The view from across the back yard. Nice and big, and with a fence. That way the girls will have plenty of room to run around, and we don't have to worry about them running a muck in the neighborhood.

Hopefully these pictures will tide you over until after we close. Once we take ownership of the house I will post pictures of the inside, so all of you can see the before, during and after shots of the house. I want our hard work to be appreciated by everyone!!

Oh this is SSSSOOOO exciting!!

Feels like spring

Ok, maybe it didn't feel like spring, but it sure was a nice weekend here in Kentucky. So what better way to spend the weekend, then taking the girls out for some much needed exercise?? There is a park not to far from our house that we take the girls to play ball. Technically all dogs are supposed to be on a leash at this park, but it's not like we're not the only ones who aren't following that.

Ahh, some much needed running!! These two LOVE to run, and would run themselves to death if we let them.

I had to post this picture only because I laugh every time I look at Sidney's ears. I know she is is in mid-stride, but it still makes me chuckle.

Something interesting.....maybe, maybe not. I'm not quite sure yet.

And she's off....

I'll catch you, just wait and see...

Even Briley gets into catching and bringing the ball back at times, usually she just likes to run along side, but sometimes she will go get the ball.

Of course we all know how much Sidney loves her ball. This is a very normal sight to see, and usually she will have the ball with her.

And at times, Briley gets in Sidney's way and this is what happens. We end up with a tangled up mess of dogs, not really paying attention to where they are going.

Days like this make me really want spring to be here. I'm ready for warmer weather, and spending the weekends out and about.

Why I haven't posted....

For those of you who have been wondering why this blog hasn't been updated in awhile, let me reassure you that everyone here is fine. I know that all of you out there have been very very worried about us here, but we all are ok. =)

The fact is that it is winter, and it's been really cold, and there has been alot of snow to deal with here. ( I know not as much as some of you have had to deal with, but here in Kentucky, what we got is alot.) But that is not the mail reason why. So let me explain.

The day after Mike's birthday we stared to look at buying a house. Not surprising how things seem to work in our lives, but we actually found one that we both liked and wanted to buy the first day out. So we have been dealing with that. Everything was going well, until we hit a few snags in trying to get the house inspected, and until this week, we have been dealing with that. As of right now we are waiting to hear from the bank on when the plumbing will be fixed, so we can inspect the house. So you see this, is the first weekend that we haven't been dealing with all that. I'm not going to post any pictures right now, but once we move forward and if we buy this house, there will be plenty of pictures of it, since there is some work to be done.

How exciting is this??
