What's up?

Been a while I know. We have been pretty busy, plus the free Wifi we had at home is not working all of a sudden. I think it's just time to get a new computer. I've had it since my sophomore year of high school (2001) so in computers years that is ancient. Its disk drive isn't working and one of the USB ports is broken too. Arghhh.
We went home for Mother's Day weekend. We spent Saturday shopping for plants at all the specialty stores in the Haute that we don't have in Anderson. We came home with lots of stuff-- none of which has been planted yet, because Dusten is going to use it to landscape around the fire pit that he is digging/creating in the backyard under our big tree. I have pictures that I could post, but again the internet isn't working so I would have to load it on my jump drive and upload them at the library, and when I find the time to do that there will be a picture {here}
In other news our water heater went out on Friday night so we have had no hot water. That's right today is Thursday and it's been crazy. We've been going to Dusten's grandma's to shower which hasn't been too complicated, except I normally don't shower at 7:30pm--it's normally 9:30, so it feels like it's right in the middle of my evening, but I prefer showering over not showering, so I will take it. Hopefully our new tankless water heater will come in sometime this weekend. I don't have any clean spoons- or cups- or bowls. Bring on the plastic!
I'm hoping this weekend will be somewhat laid back. We're having lifegroup (part of it anyway ) over tomorrow night, which should be fun with no hot water to do dishes, and then I am working all day on Saturday. I have Sunday and Monday off and I'm hoping to do some serious sleeping. Dusten will probably be working on the fire pit, and I'm sure I'll have to help him carry stones down to the backyard. At least it will be a workout, because I definitely need it.

And finally...
The last of our babies (for now anyway) is here. No I didn't forget! My cousin Amy and her husband Nick welcomed their first, a baby girl, Maryann Grace or Maggie on May 11. Since Maryann is my grandmother's name I am assuming she was named after her, which is sweet and as soon as I get a moment, I will upload a picture.
Soo jealous.

Too bad the library will be closed on Monday, seems like the perfect time to get caught up, but everything is closed.
Dusten thinks he is having our yard sale Friday and Saturday. He hasn't cleaned out the garage, picked up tables, brought anything up from the basement or priced anything. There is also a chance of isolated thundershowers both days. We'll see how far along he is when I get home from work tonight. He wants to sell all my CDs, because he bought me an Ipod a couple of months ago, and he still hasn't had the music transferred to my Ipod or my external harddrive. Hopefully he did it today or his Yard Sale inventory is about to go down by 150+ CDs. I just hope we can make $400 like we did at our last yard sale, although it is probably unlikely given the amount and value of the stuff we have to sell.
Well I think that's it for now! Check back for pictures!
