Still here
It’s been 6 months since I’ve put anything on here, I think I’m the last man standing when it comes to writing on a blog, I don’t really know of anyone else other than my mom that actively writes on one any more and she doesn’t write that much on it, I only think she does because she feels guilty because I host the site for her. Everything goes through Facebook now. A lot has happened since the last time I’ve written anything on here, I guess the biggest news is that we are having another kid, it’s a boy! He’s due around the end of August. We pretty much have the name picked out already, Andrew Xavier Korgie. The middle name isn’t set in stone yet but I don’t think that it will change at this point. There wasn’t much of a debate about the name like there was when we were picking Alexander’s name. Jessica came up with it and I thought that it sounded good and it just stuck. It was better than the name Alexander thought of, he thought we should name him “Cheek”, but he’s not very good at coming up with ideas for anything, he just says whatever is currently in his line of sight and it’s pretty obvious when he does it. I don’t know what he will be called for short, Jessica likes Drew, I’m not feeling that, I don’t mind Andy but Jessica hates that (probably because of the Andy the Goose thing from when she was a kid. Her grandfather owned the goose and became somewhat of a celebrity). I’ll probably just call him D. I guess it will evolve over time and he will pick what he wants to be called just like Alexander did (he wants to be called just Alexander and not Xander or anything else).
We had a big hail storm come through on Sunday, the car got nailed pretty good, the insurance adjuster is coming tomorrow to see what we will get out of it, got a thousand dollar deductible so I could have done without that expense but since it’s the most expensive thing that we own after the house I guess I will get it fixed. The home repair ambulance chasers have been out in full force for the last 3 days, they are driving me absolutely crazy. I said the hell with it and let one go up on the roof and surprise surprise, the roof is totaled! Well no shit Sherlock, that roof was crap when we bought the place 3 years ago, I don’t think the hail did much that wasn’t already there. Now really wasn’t the best time to be doing the roof but you have to take advantage of things when they happen I guess and get a little money out of the insurance company while I can, all the neighbors certainly are. It’s going to be $6200 bucks to get the roof done, don’t know how much the homeowners insurance is going to cover yet, but we are going to just go all out and have them do everything, roof, gutters, soffit, siding, and fascia. Oh well, it’s a hefty bill but the house will look a lot nicer in the end. That’s all I’ve got for today, I’ll try to keep things up to date on here with all the goings on with the Korgies.
