Things are looking up!

Well, the Beute's are FINALLY getting some good news! Everdry came and "fixed" the basement water problem last week Friday. Apparently because there is no water in the ground and in the tile the cement will not take 6-8 weeks to dry. They said our carpet could be relayed in about a week! So, I have the carpet installers coming Monday to re-install and the cleaners to do their work on Tuesday. We still have the issue of "the bill" that we are currently fighting Everdry about. Pray that this gets resolved in a suitable and ethical way soon!

Now for poor poor pregnant Zoe. The dog is HUGE! The impending birth can be any day now. I am going to predict sometime by the end of this week or first of next. Ideally I really want her to hold off until at least next week Wednesday when our house is put back together. But I do know that this is completely out of my control.

It is such a relief to know that the end of this ordeal is in sight!

On a brighter note I went to Cedar Point last weekend with my middle school kids from church. What a blast! We laughed so much and just had a really great time all together. The lines were so short! I don't know if it is because it was the weekend before the 4th, or maybe the gas prices or perhaps the weather forecast. Didn't matter to us! We got on all rides within 1/2 hour or even less! Even the big ones. And the weather was perfect! I will admit that I did chicken out on the Top Speed Dragster. Partially because we had an odd number and I didn't want to ride alone, but also because nothing sounded appealing about going 120 mph up 480 feet! That ride was only 17 seconds!!

The kids are starting to enjoy their summer more. Ryleigh is counting down the days until she gets to go to daycamp at Camp Geneva with her friends Brooke and Sydney. Kobe and Nate are having a good time just hanging and playing.

I have one more trip with the high school group in July. I could tell you what it is, but it is TOP SECRET! I am very excited about it. It's a Mystery Trip. No parent or student knows yet where we are going and what we are doing.

Nick has been busy with work. I will admit that the stress of the basement has definitely taken a toll on him as well. We can't wait til things are back to "normal" for us.
