Just thought I'd give a July update. This may be the last update until I apply for my loan the middle of next month. The end of July/beginning of August is looking really busy for me.
I'm pretty sure that most of you have heard this but our little town of 1,500 people had a pretty exciting week last week. Our Wayne Lady Falcons softball team made it, not only, to the State Tournament but to the the 2A State Softball Championship game! Most of Corydon was in Ft. Dodge this past week cheering on our girls. Although the girls weren't able to bring home the title, they did bring home the state runner up trophy. Make sure you check out the picture I posted of the team after the trophy presentation. It was a pretty neat experience for the fans. I can't imagine what it was like for the girls. I have a younger cousin who plays so you can say I was a pretty proud older cousin. Emily is only an 8th grader and she's already starting varsity. I'm pretty excited to watch her mature as a ball player and hopefully be able to watch her in future state tournaments.
As for the house...I haven't really done much since my last update, still on hold until my loan goes through. I did talk to my contracter a couple weeks ago and he told me again that he's ready to start as soon as I get approved. That makes me feel good knowing that he's just as ready to start as what I am! Right now I am just jotting ideas down on paper on what I want to do with each room. I have alot of rooms so therefore I have ALOT of notes. I'm pretty sure I'll be doubling my notes in the next two weeks and hopefully I'll still have some hair left! I'm up for ideas so if you guys have any just let me know and I'll see how/if/where I can fit them into my plans.
Next week is the Wayne County fair. If any of you are in southern Iowa Wednesday-Sunday make sure you stop by. There is always things going on during the day and then there is nightly entertainment each night of the fair. The fair is usually a place you get to talk to or see somebody you haven't since last year's fair. It's always a good time.
I've been meaning to let you all know that if any of you ever want a tour of the house just let me know. I'd love to show it and get your opinions. This is brand new to me so I'm up for any suggestions/ideas/help/etc. As I said in my very first post....I'm glad you all are in this with me and I want each and every one of you to feel that way! So don't be afraid to call and tell me you want to take a peek at it! I'd be thrilled to show it.
Thanks again for reading and the support. I really appreciate it :).
