McMillin Release 8/27

We were up early Saturday (the first Saturday after school started) to be out at the McMillin home release. We were #94 on the priority list. There are only 100 spots on the list - and after this weekend we expect to be in the mid-50's if not much lower. Considering Saturday's turnout - we expect to get a lot at the next release.

We're on a few lists around town. But, we've really decided on McMillin and it looks like we've got it sown up... pretty much. The floor plan is perfect for us and the lot size, even if it is modest, will be perfect for a pool and a small entertaining area. Which is fine by us - because our next step is to purchase a lot and / or cabin up in the mountains near Glennville where Mike grew up. We're even considering a place up in Camp Nelson. We just want something with fishing nearby, cooler temps, and a mountain view... snow in the winter will be an added bonus!

After the release Mike had some 442 pictures to do (appraisal updates) and an appraisal to do up in Sugarloaf. Fortunately we were able to tag along, which was great because we haven't seen a lot of him lately since he's been completely bogged down with work. We had such a great time! We even got to see one of Mike's old friends that he had known since he was just a little kid.

This has turned out to be a wonderful weekend. Tonight the boys (Mike and Ethan) have their guitars out and are playing everything from Elvis to Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. Even though tomorrow is Monday and everyone is going back to work and school after a weekend like this it's a small price to pay!
