Row Row Row Your Boat. . .

well my dad returned home from boise from a business trip on wednesday evening. when i stopped up at the parents to get my dog he asked me if i wanted to see a "pretty shocking picture"? so i said sure what the hell, not really thinkin anything of it. . . well i was completely caught off guard when he pulled up these pictures of him rafting down a river. HE NEVER DOES ANYTHING OUT DOORS!!! lol. WAY TO GO DAD! Im so proud of you for letting your adventurous side show. His boss had secretly planned this excursion for the end of their business trip and it was a surprise to all of them as well. My dad was a bit leery at first, but decided to go along with it and he said he was glad he did.
He is the one int he Yellow shirt.

I guess they had just passed a BIG rock in this one.

faster dad faster! you need to row faster!

Hang on for your life dad!

O crap here comes the water. . .


PADDLES UP!!!

HOUSE UPDATE!!!

okay so here it is. . . or at least this is what im planning to move into the middle of september provided nothing goes wrong. i finally found a house, YAY, and im so excited about it. its 4 beds 2 baths with a possibility of a 5th bedroom too. 1728 sq feet on .22 acres. the back yard is fully fenced for my dog, but i have a lot of work to do back there because it has been vacant for a while so there are probably a million weeds. no worries tho thats not too difficult to fix. it has a 1 car attached garage and my car will actually be able to be parked into it. i say this because right now at my current apt i do have a garage but my pool table air hockey and fooze ball table are in it. with this new house i have an upstairs living room and a downstairs family room. i plan to make the downstairs family room into the game room and that way my car will finally be able to be tucked in at night all safe and sound. :-) well i'll keep you all posted but im pretty sure its a done deal. i dont plan on backing out. lol. this week i have to start scraping paint so i can paint the exterior, its one of the FHA lender requirements for the loan to be approved. we are getting a cash allowance for the cost of paint so all we have to do is put in the time and labor. wish me luck, im thinkin it might be harder than i originally thought. lol.
