The last few weeks have been just nuts! We have been in Bako now for 2 weeks but it feels more like 2 months. Thad is liking his job, and after 2 weeks of job hoping and training of sorts he has been assigned to a permanent job that lasts through the end of the year. I'm not very clear on exactly what they are building on this job, but I think it has something to do with a water treatment plant or something. Anyway, it's just him and one other PM in charge so it should be a good opportunity for him.
For now we are still living in Bobby's room at my parents house. We have been driving around looking at rental houses since the day we got here, but after 2 weeks, exauhsted all of our resources. If the house was cheap it was in a craptastic neighborhood and really run down. If the house was nice we might as well buy it and pay the mortgage for what they were asking. So as of Thursday we decided(at least I thought we did) to just get an apartment for 6 months and buy a house then. So Friday & Sat morning I got a list together of possible apartments and had it all organized. I didn't really see Thad friday because after work he left straight away with the boys to the father & Sons campout, but somehow between Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon he changed his mind and came home from the campout and told me we are just going to buy a house now.
So now we are starting all over AGAIN, and looking for a fixer-upper house to buy. Meanwhile Andi is a horrible roomate! And since buying a house takes a bit longer to settle than filling out a rental contract I hope we find a house SOON! I am still a bit in shock that all of a sudden we are buying a house, huge decision, huge debt, and if it's a fixer-upper, huge project.
Other than that I have been hanging out with fma and friends here in town during the day while Thad is gone. Oh, and I didn't mention that Thads hours are fabulous! for me anyway, he goes in super early cos no one wants to work in the heat and is home between 2 & 3 everyday. Plus I have loved driving around in his new company truck. It makes me hate my little crap car, but it's nice to have a bigger vehicle.
Sorry no pictures, I have been a little busy to notice Andi's cuteness, but i'll post some soon, and hopefully soon let you all now about a house.
p.s. Andi goes to Nursery now, even though technically she's too young, but it's awesome! She loves it and I can actually listen to lessons!
