It looks like summer has actually arrived....with the exception of a wicked storm last night complete with wind, thunder and lightning. It rained really hard throughout the night but by this morning all was blue sky and fluffy white clouds.
My sister Ann had a Pampered Chef party at her house and now I've booked one for my new digs in late July. Hopefully we'll be settled in by then and we can have some fun! Ann and her girls had a long, quick road trip to Wyoming over the weekend to take her mother-in-law to her daughter. Tyler was at his first solo overnight Scout camp- so no Loney's for me this past weekend. So, I worked, cleaned and packed.
All kinds of good things have been happening for us lately.....Looks like the move will be happening to the twin home in Logan that initially wasn't going to happen...they were working on the kitchen floor when I drove by on Monday. We have some stuff we moved into the apartment that we didn't even unpack and now I'm packing up things we won't be using in the next couple of weeks. I'm not sure what our exact new address will be but we'll be on the corner of 4th and 4th in Logan.
Our almost a year long dispute with the state tax commission has come to an awesome conclusion. After a telephone hearing with the Judge and my resending all of our evidence, they finally have adjusted all three audit years to us owing $0!! We have signed a stipulation to be filed with the court and hopefully it all be finalized soon....boy, did my paralegal degree come in handy with this one. I feel sorry for the "average Joe" who would have to go through the same ordeal as we did. (I really think they just figure you'll just give in and pay the thousands they demand out of fear or ignorance.)
I finally broke down and changed cell phone plans. I kept going over on my texting with Sprint and the over $100 bills are killing us. The Loney's are on a plan called "Straight Talk" that runs $30 a month for 1000 text and talk minutes or just $45 for unlimited text and talk. I bought the $40 LG flip phone that's pretty cool but I'm having to learn to text and such all over again....so if you get any strange texts or pages from a 535 prefix it's most likely me- messing up.
Our former family member Harley (our 3 yr old pitbull mix) was adopted! Dewey went to the pound to visit a few Saturdays ago and they told him a couple looking for their first dog had adopted him....We're so grateful that he has a home. We miss him but he needed a yard and we sure don't have one any more.
It's nice to have some major decisions made and things going smoothly for a change. We're grateful for all the love and support from family and friends.
