Kyle and Krista Family Blog: Fantastic Weekend

It's been quite an amazing weekend on several fronts. The weekend started Friday night when Kyle's cousin Jim came down from Chicago and the two of us went to the Pearl Jam show at Verizon. We both agreed that it was not the best Pearl Jam show we've seen, but it was very good nonetheless. It was very stormy and windy just prior to the show starting and we were afraid it might get cancelled. But the rain held off and the show was great.

Saturday was Ryne's 2nd Birthday party. Everyday leading up to his party was 75 degrees or warmer, but Saturday morning brought 50 degree temperatures and high winds. We cancelled our park reservation and held it at Kyle's parents house instead. Our house had a showing that afternoon and therefore we couldn't host it at our house. Here is a link to several pictures from his birthday, or you can see a few below. Check out the awesome cake Aunt Emily made! I've also put together a few video clips of Ryne and his tee ball set. He loves it! Thanks Dee and Greg! If you watch the video closely, he leaves all of you a present at the end!

Speaking of the house showing, we received an offer on the house in the afternoon and by Saturday night, counter offers having gone back and forth, we settled on a sale! So that is a big relief and we are really excited to have it sold. Since the tax credit ended on April 30, our realtor told us the market has gone dead silent, so we are really pumped this worked out. If all continues to go well, we'll be moved out of our house by June 18 and need to live at my parents for a couple of months while our new house is being finished. All in all, the house was only on the market for 3 weeks.

This weekend also brought some great Purdue Basketball news as both E'twaun Moore and JaJuan Johnson decided to NOT enter the NBA draft. This means Purdue (barring injury) will be a fantastic team next year and should compete to be an elite team all season. All those groans you hear are coming from IU fans around the state. Sorry guys.

Finally, we're enjoying a great Mother's Day and Ryne's Birthday today. Ryne bought mommy a little figurine that she will be able to display for many years. Happy Mother's Day Krista!
