My first BIG Birthday Present

Holy cow. I just found out that for my Birthday my IL's are going to get us a pool.

Yes a pool. Not an inflatable one, or the $5.99 blue plastic ones, a pool pool. Once the Homeowners Association decides to grant us permission to get a permit, then we have to get a permit, then we have to call JULIE, THEN we can have them drop of 2 tons of sand, THEN they can install the pool. (And in the mean time I have to get a special twist plug outlet thingy, and possibly have someone run a new outlet outside)

Ed was hoping to have the pool up and installed while we are on my Birthday Trip, but Rome wasn't built in a day, so maybe I can swim around Christmas... either way we are crazy excited! I can't wait to see how popular we become now that we have a pool! (I think my sister might actually want to hang out here!) And Jen, I think we must go for a swim after we walk on Tuesdays!

Can't wait, I am just having to look into all the chemicals, and shocking, and cleaning, and responsibilities that go along with a pool. Oh and it's 52" deep by 15' around! As long as we can fit two rafts in it, one for me and one for Ed. Ahhhh....
