Finally...warm weather

What a beautiful day it was on Saturday. For the past month we had been talking about getting out of town, away from Davenport. Have I said that we really don't like it here? Well, we really don't. Not that it isn't a perfectly fine place to be...we are just tired of it. Add to that the stress of my work and Randy's school - we just needed to escape. Since we still had work and school to deal with, we couldn't plan on leaving until Saturday. Did I mention how beautiful it was on Saturday? Well, one thing lead to another and we ended up wasting so much time at home that it became just too late to really go and enjoy even a quick trip. S0....we stayed here. Not only that, but we ended up doing ANOTHER home improvement project. Yes, that's what we do when we have free time. We bought a new front door and a really cool storm door last fall. We installed the front door right after we bought it, but ran out of time and good weather to do the storm door. With 60+ degree weather on Saturday, we just couldn't put it off anymore. That stinkin' storm door took over 4 hours to install - and that's with Randy being as "handy" as he is. I can't imagine if he wasn't good with tools and home repairs. But, it's done and looks fabulous! One project down...too many more to go! As for our escape from this place, it looks like it will have to be this spring...probably after the next set of board exams. I guess Costco and Ikea will just have to wait for our money until then!
