Wow! A Stellar February weekend!

As I write this post, I am in my living room with all the windows open and sunlight streaming through the door. It has been a high of about 80 degrees today, making it a lovely day. We have had a few days of really warm temperatures, but rain is anticipated by the end of the week, with more seasonable temperatures in the 60s. It has been nice to have such nice weather. The trees are even starting to blossom and the Wal-Mart outdoor garden center is all ready for spring planting. I know it won't be long!
We have had a fairly uneventful week this past week. On Friday, we heard that our bid did not get accepted on the house we offered on, but we were expecting the news and we wern't too bummed. Our realtor has been outstanding and spent Friday previewing 25 homes for us and weeding out the dogs! Saturday morning we looked at 8 new houses and 1 house we had seen before. We have decided to place an offer on one, but we are not rushing on this one, as it has been on the market much longer than the other one. I anticipate us placing an offer sometime this week. It is a short sale, which means it may take even longer to receive a response (contrary to the name), but we are willing to play that game.
Perhaps the biggest event this week was our Super Tuesday primary voting. When we originally found out we would be voting at this time, we really didn't think CA would be in such a crucial role, but alas, so it was. We were a bit disappointed that Obama didn't do a bit better, but were happy that we were able to vote for him. It sounds like he is still staying competitive, which makes us hopeful.
This coming week, we are expecting a short visit from my aunt and uncle from Minnesota on Tuesday, who are on a West Coast road trip. Valentine's day is on Thursday, but nothing special is planned. Our clinic is closing at 3 PM, which I am not pleased about, as I will only have a half day in and will have to take vacation for the rest of the day. It will still be nice to look forward to something else! Have a good week everybody and happy Valentine's day!
