Hi everyone,
We had our house inspection on Friday.
It was all good as we expected. The only thing that needs attention is the fridge. They bought a fridge in order to sell the house because it didnt have one. Its a pretty nice fridge but it doesn't fit. Crazy huh!!!! So we have to go find a new one. We are going to try to exchange it. But other than that the house looks great and all we have to do is close and see our old house.....anyone want to buy it!!!!!
We should close on July 25th. We are planning the housewarming party already. So be prepared. I will make sure I post it as soon as possible and you all better be coming.
Talk to you soon
Kris and Mike

what a weekend!
So, all is well with us. We had a good weekend. I had to work, and of course Mike had the weekend off. But we enjoyed ourselves none the less.
Saturday, we went out for dinner at Whig and Courier. It is a restaurant in downtown Bangor. I had heard they had a great steak and cheese sandwich. They did and the sweet potato fries were awesome as well. We also found some nice pants at LL Bean for Mike to wear to work. So all and all it was a good day.
Then on Sunday, we went to church at 7 am and then went to Denny's for breakfast and I will made it to work before 9 am. We went to Happy China Buffet for dinner. (Mike's choice) and it was yummy. Then we got groceries and called it a night.
Today, I worked until 5 pm and then I made dinner. Tonight I made a huge salad and chicken. It was awesome. I used a Jack Daniels EZ marinade and it came out awesome.
I will try to post a couple of pictures of the house tomorrow.
Love Kris and Mike

Its been a long while....
Hi Everyone,
Sorry I have not writting in a while. I have been depressed... We had so many problems with the builder and decided not to build with him. Last Sunday, we went to see another house. We called the realtor and I was able to see the house the following Wednesday. We then placed the offer the next day. Mike had not even seen the house. After a counter offer or two they accepted our offer. We HAVE A HOUSE!!!! Mike got to see the house on Saturday and he liked it as much as I did.
This week we are arranging a home inspection and hope to close by the end of July. Perfect timing so we can be in the house before our time in the hotel is up.
Work is still good, I can't complain except that I am working this weekend. But this is the first Saturday that Mike is not working. Oh well, not much you can do about that. I keep telling myself, Mike and I can hang out in the middle of the winter....
Other than that, not much else is going on. We have had any movement on our old house and we just dont know what we are going to do.
WE are in a bigger room at the hotel. Its nice, it has a couch, a table and chairs and I can actually make dinner without setting off the fire alarm. We ate tacos last night and then we went out to ice cream. There's no lickty splits or cold stone or brickley's around... so its definitely not as good but it will do.
Well, I promise to update more regularly from now on that I have something positive to share!!!
Love,
Kris:)

3 Long days
Mike and I have both had 4 pretty long days. He as worked every night late and already has 51 hours on the books. He is still working Friday and Saturday. He likes his job still...so that is good, and we could really use the money for our new house.
I am excited, I have a three day weekend. Tomorrow, I have a few errands to run and alittle shopping to do. So that should be fun. I am also going to try to go to the grasshopper shop in downtown Bangor. Its a store that Holly recommends. Hopefully Mike gets out of work earlier than the rest of this week so we can actually see each other. Mike is usually asleep when I get home.
Well, I should get some pictures up tomorrow.

A nice Weekend!
This weekend we went to RI. It was nice to be back at our house and sleep in our own bed, but it was strange. The house really is not our own any more. I have cleaned up most of the personal effects and we have to keep the house so neat.
We got to see lots of friends and family so that was nice. We also ate chicken salad sandwiches, went out for breakfast and I cut Mike's hair. It was a long drive but it was nice to get out of our hotel room.
Today, I only had to work until 6 so I came home and cooked a couple of meals. We had steak and mashed potatoes for dinner. I also make pork and chicken for the rest of the week.
Well, I am exhausted....so goodnight.

Mike is officially in Bangor!
Mike is officially in Bangor. Thank goodness!!!! No more 150 mile trips a day especially with the price of gas. He was going to start Monday in Bangor but they asked him to start today. I was going to drive him to work, then go to Auburn, pick him up from work and then drive to RI but I am not sure what we are going to do now. We shall see. Mike went the other day to meet everyone in Bangor and I think that he will like it.
Its funny, I feel like I worked a hundred days in a row but now I have 5 days off. Its because of the red sox game. So today I am going to go to the Lumbar yard today. I think that we are officially building on the land, so I need to go choose siding etc.
We still have not signed the contract but I am hopeful that it will be soon.
Talk to you on Sunday!
Love, Kris and Mike

Fenway Park!!!
hi All,
Its been a few days since I posted but I had a good reason. My mom and I went to Fenway Park for a Red Sox Game!!!!!!
It was awesome, I met my mom in Auburn on Wed morning after taking my grandmother to a doctors appointment and getting a hair cut. We had a hotel room outside of Boston for the night.
We took the T to Fenway Park. Fenway, was awesome, I had never been there before. I had never even driven by it. The park was smaller than I pictured but it was awesome. We actually sat next to people from Maine!!!
It was very cool. I was bummed that we did not get to see Big Papi play (he became a US citizen on Wednesday) and Josh Beckett but atleast Jason Varitek hit a 3 run home run and then Mike Lowell hit a solo home run. We did get to see Jonathan Paplebon come onto the field and throw one out, in four pitches I might add!!!
I felt bad for Mike though. We had originally had planed to go together but Mike could not get out of work. He was supposed to be on vacation this week.
Well, that was my red sox game. I plan on going again. Cristin, these games are addicting!
Love
Kris and Mike!
PS I will post pictures as soon as I get a usb cord.
