The AC is fixed! Yea!! :o) I talked to Ryan, who is home, to find out that it had been fixed & the house is cool! I'm happy he doesn't have to sleep another night in a hot house. That will make for much better sleep than I'm sure he got last night.
On another note, Sydney is still not feeling well. I took her to Redicare today for her cough & congestion as well as a bug bite on her finger. The doctor said her finger is fine, but gave her some medicine for her congestion. I hope that it helps her start to feel better soon!!
That's about all for the updates. We're still hanging out in Paducah & will be here through the weekend. By Friday we'll all be back together. That, I'm looking forward to! :o)

We found a place!!!
We went on Friday afternoon to look at a house & it was a D-U-M-P!! The lady met us at our car & warned us that it had not yet been cleaned. I wanted to say, "Then why in the heck are you showing it?!" After seeing what it looked like, even if the cleaning wizards came in & made it spotless & not stink, there would be NO way I would live in that place!! I am not as picky as you would probably think. My standards are: working, clean, in safe area. I do not have to have a top of the line place. I just want to know that it will work for us & be safe for our daughter.
With those standards in mind, we headed out Friday. As I said earlier, our first appointment did not meet those standards! It was in a safe place, but that's about all it had going for it. After leaving that house, I was very disappointed. Grasping at straws, we drove around to see if we could find any houses with signs in the yard. We found a couple and called on them. To my surprise, we lucked out and found a place that night!
It is an older home, built in the 50s. It has been taken care of & the inside has been remodeled. The bathroom & kitchen have were completely gutted & redone. They are brand new! It is a 2 bedroom/1 bath...a little smaller than we wanted, but has a big fenced in back yard & detached garage. With that being the case & the fact that it is cheaper than we are currently paying, we jumped at the chance. We get the keys in 2 weeks & can begin moving in.
I am so ready to be out of an apartment. Although this is not a house that we are buying, I think I'm as excited as if we were! I will no longer have to worry about Sydney being loud to those below & around us. Neither Ryan nor I will have to walk Sam in the cold or rain!! We can just open the door & let him go out! Plus, we will have a place for Sydney to play outside. I'm sure that to others this is a lot of rambling & not much fun info to read, but for me to write...I'm quite excited!
