Update

Since I started school I'm not so good at keeping up with my blog. I have to post so much all the time for school that I am getting sick of it. But I figured it was time for an update. At least I am not having to post about sub-cultures, disasters, or Native Americans.

Here is a quick run-down of the current house situation. We have about 2-3 months left in our current home before we will be evicted. The bank already sent some people here to inspect the property (supposedly) to see if it was occupied, etc. The bank said they do this since typically the ex-homeowners don't notify the bank when they leave. Right now, we just opened up escrow (this will be our 3rd) on a very quaint little house that I call the "dump house" due to its proximity to the dump. I have to say that it is better than "Adam's shack" in regard to the actual domicile, but the property leaves much to be desired. The shack we were in escrow on had many issues regarding the title so we pulled out of escrow since we don't have unlimited time to wait for that to be cleared up. But should something happen with this transaction, we'll more than likely try that one again. I just want it done and to be settled somewhere. Also, for the extremely cheap price that the dump house is going for, it is a good investment and is satisfying Adam's need to be "Depression proof." Realistically, we could collect cans to make the payment.

Erin is in ballet and she is loving it. She has a recital in June. I'll send out notices when it gets closer with ticket information for those of you that are interested in attending. They will be doing a poodle dance and it is adorable from what I have seen.

I am spending a huge amount of my time doing school work right now. I feel good that I am making progress toward my degree but will be so happy for this quarter to be over! I hope I am done taking anthropology classes for now (I've take 5 in all). I think I'll go the opposite and take some science or math next quarter. We'll see.

Well, back to work for me! Hopefully I can post again soon with some pictures.

Bones

Adam put in our new security screen door Tuesday night. Being that nothing in our house is standard or built porperly, we needed to modify our threshold. Adam removed some concrete from under the metal plate and we found bones embedded in the underside of the concrete! I don't know what kind of bones they are. All I know is it is really weird!! Why would someone put bones under their threshold? I shutter to think if there are more hidden under/in our house. Oh how I wish we had a "normal" house. Bones aside, the door frame is so crooked we had to make a decision. We could install it to match the crooked door or install straight. We opted for straight and now it is really noticeable how messed up the door frame is. I guess levels were scarce when the guy built this house as pretty much nothing is straight in this house. So, what should I do with the bones? They're probably animal or from a steak or something like that but I wonder if I should call someone. I'll save them for now. Here's a pic of our screen door and a pic of the bones:
