Done Deal!
For those of you following the Clawson house buying saga, we are pleased to announce we are now the proud owners of a adorable two-story home in Canton Michigan. We are aware that the location for some of you (Utahns)is less than convenient,(We did consider Tim commuting from Highland to Michigan each week ...not) but we are very excited for how the whole thing turned out. It sounds like we will take possession of the house earlier than expected which should give us plenty of time to add our own flair before moving in. I think we are set on tiling the entry way and kitchen, re-painting the cupboards, and moving a cupboard or two around before moving in. Then of course there are a few rooms I'd like to paint and a ceiling fan to install. And don't forget the vast canvas of an unfinished basement just beckoning to be transformed. Wow being a homeowner is making me tired already... and broke! Anyways, we are very excited and are even more stoked because we get to share our new crib with my sister Marissa and her husband Enoch when they come to visit us at the end of May. I hope they bring their paintbrushes!

January February Highlights
With the lack of pictures on my blog the last few months I can see how many would think the Clawsons have had a slow 2010 so far. Well folks that couldn't be further from the truth.
In early January, we headed out to down town Detroit for the International Auto Show. Cars, cars, and more cars. I couldn't believe how many different makes and models there were not to mention all the different colors and displays. Kennedy was happy as long as she got to sit and "drive" a car occasionally. I liked the different displays. Tim liked that the Ford's display was my favorite. (It really was the coolest)
Later in January, on an unseasonable warm day, we ventured out to downtown Plymouth for their annual ice sculpture festival. It is amazing to see what those people could do with a block of ice, especially when the weather threatened to melt their creations before they could finish. The crowds were insane though and we mostly got pushed around in a line/ mosh pit as we walked around the different sculptures. Great fun!
February was mainly devoted to the GMAT and house hunting, but we did manage to throw some fun into the mix. Kennedy and I spent a lot of quality time together while Tim was out studying. We played a lot of doggies (which consists of me crawling around the house with a doggie puppet on each hand). I made a lot of phone calls (ok so this part wasn't so fun). While I made those calls, Kennedy was introduced to PBS television. We are now trying to stem her addiction to the "shows" as she calls them. Kennedy got this crazy virus the made her face swell up and made hives appear all over her body (also not fun, but certainly funny looking. I called her Quasimodo girl).
After the GMAT was over and we signed on a house, it was off to Lowe's for many a fun filled Saturday dreaming about projects.
Overall, I would say 2010 has treated us well thus far. We look forward to many more adventures in the months to come.
