Golden Jubilee!!!!!!!

Crystal and Elliot made it into town late Friday...actually...it was early Saturday morning, their flight was delayed 45 minutes. Crystal is still alittle (ok alot) sad that she had to leave her family behind, and that makes it hard on me too cause I feel like a total dirt bag for making her move, no matter how many times she says "you didnt make me"...like I dont know who wears the pants around here, sheesh.

Anyway, Saturday we got up and got going alot earlier than we normally do, not sure how that happened, but it was nice to get going early, now that I'm back on a "day shift" schedule, I enjoy getting up early and getting the day going.

We took off and got some breakfast, and then we stopped by Grandma and Grandpa Grimms house, Grandma Joy has some friends from Ohio in town and they were anxious to meet Elliot. So we stopped there for almost an hour and visited alittle. Then we left to head down to the Tucson area and look at some houses we saw for rent on Craigslist. One of the houses has been on there for a couple weeks, so I wasnt thinking it would still be available, but I emailed the poster last week and asked, and she said that it was still available, so we had an appointment to meet them at 2pm and look at the house. We had another one to look at that we were going to go alittle earlier to and check it out too. We were supposed to pull off the road at a certain intersection and meet the gal showing us the 2pm house, at 1:30 we rounded the corner and a car pulled over just as we did...so much for looking at the other one first. So we followed this gal to the house and were really surprised to see it was in a brand new housing development, houses across the street are still being built! So, we went in and looked around, the floor plan is awesome, its laid out in such a way that the living area's are all on one side of the house, and the bedrooms are on the other. The master bedroom is huge, plenty of room for our king size bed and all our bedroom furniture (cause we have alot you know!) then theres another bedroom just off the master, that will become Elliots room, once we move in he is going to start sleeping in his own bedroom. Then there is a bathroom that has connecting doors, one comes out near the master, and the other end comes out near the other 2 bedrooms, yup, we got a 4 bedroom house, woot! So, one of the other rooms is going to become a spare room for when family and friends come to visit, and the other is going to be our home office. The garage is a 2 and a half car (I'll wait while you scratch your head on that one) garage, so there will be plenty of room for Crystal to be able to park the car in the garage, and leave me with lots of room to have a shop area for working on the occasional piece of take home work I'll have. There is a seperate living room and family room in the house, so, we think the living room at the front of the house is going to become the sewing "den" for crystal to take over and do some mad sewing in there. Plus, its the only room, other than the bedrooms that has carpet in it, and since Elliot will be crawling soon, that will be a good area for them to hang out in. Heres a couple pix of the house, will post more once we move in. Oh, and as for the title of this entry..thats the name of the street our new home is on :) Oh, and here is the "development" we are in. http://www.gladdenfarms.com/
