Crab Legs!!!!

Last night was a nice ending to the week - I got to have Alaskan King Crab legs for dinner!!! YUMMY!!! We recently found this restaurant which serves as an appatizer "1 lb of Alaskan King Crab pieces", which turns out to me more than enough for me as a meal! The best part is the price - only $12.99! Anywhere else around here a KCL meal will run you close to $30!

I am feeling much better today and the sun is shining bright! Looks like it is going to be a gorgeous day! The temps are supposed to be in the upper 80's today and tomorrow with relatively low humidity levels! Perfect day to be at the beach!!

I got the check out to the agency yesteday so they should have in on Monday. Hopefully our dossier will go out on Monday as well because I realized our fingerprints expire January 1, 2006, so we have to do everything possible not to have anymore delays!!! Please cross your fingers that the rest of this journey goes smoothly!

I am in the process of filling out the grant application but have some questions about how our income should be documented. D told me to make sure it matches what is in the homestudy, but that was done over a year ago. Since that time we have started our business and with all the tax breaks associated with that our adjusted income is slightly different. We would be more likely to qualify based on our 2004 tax return than our 2003 tax return. With our 2003 taxes we are just over the income requirement by $1000! Using our 2004 tax returns we are will under the requirement. So I need to wait for an answer from D. One of her grown kids is in town this weekend, so I doubt I'll hear anything before Monday. That is OK thoug - family time is important and, besides, tthe grant application is not that urgent of an issue...afterall we still have another 3 or 4 months before this is over.

Well I am off to go get Michael's lazy butt up so we can get out and enjoy this BEAUTIFUL day!!! This is our "calm before the storm" Monday is the last signing day of the month for loans that need to fund this month, so we will be swamped on Monday - we already have 4 booked - turned down 10!!! I had taken Monday off to relax, but my darling husband has booked me with appointments for the business already!!! Maybe I should go to work instead!!!!

Have a great weekend!

    Oh man, I haven't eaten dinner yet and those crab legs sound SO GOOD!

    Best of luck with the dossier going out this week. I know all about frustrating delays and am crossing my fingers and toes that you don't have any more.

    Cheers!
