We sold Mike's truck! We have been trying to sell the truck since Carter was born over a year ago so that we could save money, but we didn't have any serious hits. Then we lowered the price again by quite a bit and we got a ton of calls, although nothing really substantial. Then a guy from out of town called on Thursday and offered a low ball offer that we refused, but we said we could go possibly go down to $5k. We didn't think we'd hear from him, but the next day he said that he'll take it and he was driving up to Arizona to pick it up on Saturday. It all happened so fast that we thought it was too good to be true, but it all worked out relatively smoothly and now we're truckless. :-( It's pretty sad since we had so many great memories with it, but it's time to move on.
The funny thing is that we would have really liked to use the truck next week when we move, so we'll see how that works out. But we're grateful to sell it to a guy around our age that was excited about it. After selling the truck of course we went to the house and kept working, but we made some awesome progress while Carter entertained us.
The biggest achievement for today was covering the first glass block! It felt so great to do so.
We just can't believe what the previous owners were thinking...we wonder if they still liked it after they saw how many there were. We know that we'll be much happier when they're all out of sight and just a distance memory under some beautiful new paint.
Even though we've been working non-stop on this house and driving back to our apartment every night to sleep, we were able to break away to enjoy a reception for one of Mike's cousins last night. They had a beautiful reception and it was great to see our extended family. Carter enjoyed all the kids and the toys that he took from who knows where. :-)

Carter's laugh is SO cute! Katelyn loved watching him in the videos. Congrats on your new house--it looks like it was a great deal. The outside is beautiful and I know the inside will be AWESOME by the time you guys get done with it!
