Everyday Updates
What is it that you wake up to in the morning? Generally, we wake up a little lazy in our dorm apartment, let out dogs jump up on our "craiglist" bed, and smother them with attention for a few minutes before we are both off for the day. We usually come home to the pups ready to play and Bentley pulling Lexi across the floor by her collar. Never gets old!
After this strange and never-ending winter, our neighbors came to us requesting that we pave our road. This was an answer to our prayers as we were the only ones wanting to do so originally. And now that Spring is on its way, our paved road should be coming within the next month! No more mud... except for our back driveway. It is a huge step forward!
What is more exciting, Brenton and I will be able to enjoy the road so soon! We have had a wonderful time with the ladies in our dorm this past year, but we plan to move into our house officially this June. Brenton will still be coaching and I will continue my work at The Cove, we will just be moving on from dorm life. Kind of fun that we can say three out of our four years of marriage have been in a dorm! We have surely had some adventures, long nights, and good times.

Ebay Attempt
So I ventured out as a seller on ebay tonight. I have not a clue what I am doing and I realized how much I do not enjoy being on the internet extensively. Took care of what I needed to take care of, but there are just way too many details to work through the first time! I pushed through as I thought about how proud my ebay sister-in-law, Claudia, would be. This is for you sis!
McGregor dorm at Montreat College is throwing it's second Clothes Swap later this month. Last semester we had a glorified "clothes" yard sale and sold everything for $1 to help cushion our dorm budget. The girls were a little reserved about the idea until they saw what it was about and how cheaply they could get nice clothes. Thankfully, my wonderful Cove friends are big time GW (Goodwill) shoppers, always looking for name brands and faithfully switching out items they are able to resend to GW. I took a few Goodwill runs off their hands and we had quite the Clothes Swap in our dorm.
I started to clean out my closets this week for round two but then I thought, "Why not try selling some items to a Consignment Shop first?" Then the nicer clothing items came to mind; "Why not ebay?" All the doubts came rushing in... More work, more time, may not even get a bid... but I did it anyways!
After Brenton's response, I am not expecting a bid. I think he helped me realize it was a fun venture but I really do not know what I am doing... but in NO way did he insinuate this. He liked my store prices as I took a few items down to the cent and he found my high starting bids humorous. (His heartfelt laughter was all in good fun and made the whole night worth the time!) However, I really do wonder if I started the bids way too high, but how do you ebayers do it if you do not want to get taken? I did not spend all this time on the computer to next stand in a line at the post office for $5. The question still stands... "What am I doing?" But then, again, I guess it really does not matter since I do not plan to get any bids. Just another chance to explore and another random adventure.
