Mom came to visit

...and when she left I cried. Wow, I didn't realize that I would miss her that much! Mom said that they are planning to move out here within the next year...the major block is that they have to sell their upscale suburban home first. She's worried about that because, 1. They haven't really made any "improvements" to it. Its just generic. 2. They have opened a new subdivision in the neighborhood behind her, so she has to compete with new builds and 3. There are already 4 houses in their neighborhood for sale.

I told her to go ahead and put their house on the market now, while it's still spring/summer for a better chance to sell their house. She and I agreed that if they sold it faster than they thought, it would be relatively easy to move down here. The good news is that both of their jobs can do a transfer.

On our end, we're still doing Home improvements. We just have to finish with the tile and we'll be done. We couldn't get that done with my mom here, and Alan will be camping with family next weekend. So it may be a few more weeks before I want other people coming to see it.

Not a whole lot of news right now. Alan and I are trying to plan a vacation later this summer/fall...some place outside the country perhaps?
