The Vander Velde Family

It's about 10:40pm right now and I can't believe I am still awake. First off, I just have to say that I have never been more into politics in my entire life then I have been the last 4 days. Seems like every night I find myself tuned into the Democratic National Convention. And...never would I have ever thought I would cry from wathcing it. Well...tonight it happened. After Barack gave his speech...tears began to roll. David fell asleep while we watched it, hehe. Anyways...I am very excited to vote this year for a few reasons. One, it is my first time I get to vote for President!! Two, I thought that this election was going to be tough, due to the economy and everything it has been through. Not anymore! I am set on my vote! Okay...that is all I have to say about politics. done!

We have been pretty busy lately with showings on the condo and doing quite a bit of updates! First off, we painted the red wall. It is now a classic taupe color. I like it alot and it looks good! David misses the red wall though! We also put new hardware in the kitchen AND decided the other day that we were going to buy all new 6 panel white doors and new hardware for the place! Man, does it make a huge difference! One more thing...which David and I could kick ourselves for not doing sooner....LAUNDRY! We are putting in laundry hookups in one of the master bedroom closets! Normally they would charge us $1500 to do this. For David to do it himself, with a little help from his plumber at work.....$15. Can you believe that? I can't think of one reason why this place shouldn't sell now! We had a couple come look at the condo this afternoon. They were from Appleton and came down just for the afternoon to look at condos. Whichever one they liked the best at the end of the day they were going to put an offer in on. We haven't heard anything yet...so they probably didn't pick ours.. but we are not giving up!

David has the day off tomorrow. It will probably consist of myself painting doors and trim while David drills holes in them all! Hopefully we will get it all finished! We are also going to start packing some stuff up and moving it into a storage container!

Thats it for now...Gavin is snoring as I sit here and type. I have never heard him breath this heavily before. I hope he isn't getting congested!
Good Night. (Gavin and David playing with Matchbox cars)
