I'm really, really close to being completely finished with all of the band paperwork. I'll make a separate post about that sometime, but I'm not going to lie...I am super excited about that! I hope to be turning things over by this weekend at the latest...and maybe even tomorrow!
My stress level is a tad bit high right now. We decided to make the investment and have a sump pump installed in our crawl space. Of course, as is often the case with home improvement projects, things didn't quite go according to plan. They found some pipe leaks in this process, and found out that box external faucets have leaks, so the already expensive projects are just becoming more expensive. It is what it is though, and I'm grateful we have the money to fix what needs to be fixed.
We also have an issue with one of our cats. Andrew and Catherine have taken her to the vet, and there is no guarantee she is coming home. My heart breaks for Catherine, who adores this cat beyond words, and I know Catherine will struggle if she passes. Catherine is having her own struggles, and we don't need to add this on right now. I also feel sadness for our cat Lincoln, who still loves to cuddle with Rosie, even at age 10. They've always been inseparable, and that was why the pet adoption place insisted they be placed together.
Next week we are attending orientation for Thomas, where he'll get registered for classes and find out things we need to know. He'll be moving into the dorms in four weeks. I can't even fathom that in four weeks I'll be spending the night in my house with Andrew as the only other person under our roof, and that will be our new normal until holidays. Oh my goodness.
Lots of feelings and emotions happening right now, but also so much gratitude!
