Week 36--cRaZy cLoSiNg wEeK

Monday, Aug. 31st

Morning Walk!

One week old...TJ's cannot be beat!

Colombo helped his parents again this week, their closing day of Friday quickly approaching.  Lots of sorting, purging, packing, trips to storage, and burning.

Tuesday, Sept. 1st
Renna and I hit up TJMaxx after Moes.  I needed to get some specific clothing options for the dress code in Jordan.

 Treasures form the basement.


Me and Kate.  Friends since 1980, the night before our August wedding.

Wednesday, Sept. 2nd
Pictures from Renna, who is not supposed to have her phone visible in school.


Thursday, Sept 3rd
FINALLY!   My gosh.  People behind desks finally picked up the file and signed the thing.  Wowweee!!!  After DAILY / HOURLY check-ins and an all-star lineup of brokers, the deal was done!  I changed clothes and was elbow deep an hour later.  If anyone in the Hartford area needs a realtor, Christy is your girl!
In keeping with DiSalvatore tradition, we did Chinese at the new house.  Only one of my crew was available, so it made for a very sweet dinner!
Colombo, Jon, and the girls were off on a road trip to Pittsburgh for a hockey 

Friday, Sept. 4th
After a mega push and all hands on deck and many late hours, Colombo and Karen closed on 1742.  They pushed their bodies and the deadline to the breaking point, but they got it done!

So our attention was 100% swiveled to rehabbing the 2nd floor unit at Ridge and getting that rented.  I had 11 days before I left, so after Kelly picked up Baby Bo, it was off to the races!
Rocco ripped up some carpet and began the pain-staking task of pulling staples.
Trev loves this spot for naps.
A beautiful evening, beautiful sunset, beautiful Night of Worship.  So well-attended and 80ish people got baptized!
Check-ins from Pittsburgh.


Saturday, Sept. 5th
My home away from home, with a paintbrush in my hand.
Fan and Tina captured it best!


Sunday, Sept. 6th


We had our family Fantasy football draft.  Lisa hosted most of the gang at the Lake for the afternoon and got some snuggle time with Bo.  How sweet is this?!?!  Gifted bonus time for her and now her great nephew knows his very bestest Great Auntie.  Forever the GOAT.
I worked at Ridge up until draft time and then went home to make meals for treatment week while drafting.

I'm loving the new, Renna-has-a-cell-phone perspective! Ridge looks like it has so much charm! All the trim, doors, etc. look amazing. But my gosh the amount of work!!!!

I too am going to enjoy the spicy input from Renna. :)
