It's been a while since I made it back to OR. Thank goodness. I will completely admit that by the end of that, I was just craving to be back home. I was sick, it was not the vacation I had planned and I just wanted to sleep in my own bed. Does that make any sense?

I have pictures from my ten year reunion, but they are currently chillin on my iPod because I have been a slacker and haven't taken them off there yet. Good times by the way. Yes, I got completely drunk, but it made me forget my sick grandpa in the hospital for a little bit.

What I do have for you are pictures of my parents retirement home out here in OR. Yes. They have agreed on an offer and the house inspection is on Saturday. So if everything goes as planned, they will close on the house the end of November. AHHHH!

This is part of the front of the house


The other part


The backyard... (what you can see of it...its sits on a little over 2 acres)


The kitchen... (yes those are granite counter tops)



Its weird. As much as I have been encouraging my parents to retire, it didnt seem real until now. I am happy for them. I know dad really wants to make this move. I know that mom is a little more apprehensive about it. But I think this will be a good change for her. We shall see. At least they will have a good house.
