Thursday Things

Yep, it's Thursday again and I haven't posted since last Thursday.  I'm not even going to make an excuse or mention how busy we've been, it's just life right now.  Here is what has been going on:

• Our house has been shown four times this week, which is exciting but we're ready for someone to fall in love and make an offer :)
• Since we do not know when our showings will take place, we have to keep the house looking pristine at all times.  Every night before we go to bed, we pick up everything on the counters/floor/table/etc, put dishes in the dishwasher, and sometimes I will vacuum.  Then, in the morning we make our bed, wipe down the bathroom, shut closet doors, open blinds, dump the trash, and do one last sweep through the house to make sure everything is picked up.  Except for yesterday!  We had a showing at 3:30 and when I got home I realized that a water bottle had been left on the floor beside our bed, the iron was on top  of the washer and not on its little hook, and we left the tractor sprinkler and hose strung out in the yard.  Brandon thinks the hose issue will show them we're still watering our yard, while I think it draws more attention to the fact we don't have a sprinkler system.  Either way, there was nothing we could do about it at that point.  We just hope the potential buyer was able to see past those few items :)
• We traveled to Manhattan last Saturday and watched the Cats beat Baylor!  It was a super fun game and we are definitely excited to watch them play the rest of the season. 
• Last Sunday we intended to go visit my friend in Oklahoma who had a baby a couple of weeks ago, but she called as we were getting around that morning and told us she was sick :(  I'm hoping to go visit her this weekend while Brandon and a friend go to the KSU game, but I hear there is a chance for severe weather and I don't think I want to be driving in Oklahoma during severe weather!  Let's hope it doesn't happen because at this rate, I think that baby will be 18 before I get to meet him!!
• We got to celebrate Brandon's dad's birthday with him this week.  Brandon's uncle is in the hospital so his parents brought his grandma to town on Tuesday to help his aunt out and Tuesday just happened to be his dad's birthday.  So, we all went out to eat to celebrate.  It was nice to see them mid-week, even if it was just for a couple of hours.
• My friend Ali and I are making bierocks on Sunday and I can't wait!  I LOVE homemade bierocks and we have a great time making them.
• Have I mentioned that every wall in our new house is white?  Well, it is.  Every. Single. One.  So, I've been browsing Pinterest trying to find paint color schemes that I like.  One thing I know for sure, I'm not going to paint every wall the same color like we did when we first moved into our current house. 
• Koby has been with my parents for almost TWO WEEKS and I miss the little guy so much!!  I think I'm going to go pick him up this weekend and then we're just going to have to make arrangements to get him out of the house when we have showings.  He just makes life around our house a little more exciting :)
• I need to start laying clothes out for my trip next weekend, but I honestly have no idea what to take.  I can't decide if it will still be too warm for boots and leggings, but I also don't want to take summer stuff, simply because I'm tired of my summer clothes.
