Settled In

We are finally settled into our new house. I love being here. We have an excellent backyard and plenty of space to spread out.

We decided to have the girls stay at their original schools, even though we are a bit over the boundary lines. But with Megan getting straight A's we felt it was worth the extra drive in the morning.

The fire pit out back is amazing. We are surrounded by oak trees, and were blessed with a nice pile of firewood to burn. I bought 3 oak benches at the Elko Traders Market over Memorial Day weekend. The benches are made from an old log cabin. They are the perfect addition. Much better than the old Adirondack chairs everyone else has.



The neighbors to our left are an older retired couple. NICE.

Unfortunately we haven't been camping much this year - the new house took up a lot of our time.









We have a hunting trip planned again over Thanksgiving/Sam's Birthday. I am looking forward to Charmagnes Ham Gravy & Biscuits!

New House Update

We will be closing on our house this month. FINALLY! Short sales take a lot of time, but are worth it if you can sit and wait for the bank.

Troy plans on putting in a horseshoe pit straight away & I plan on getting that hot tub going. It's all about the priorities :)

Pending having the spa guy come out and Troy digging the horseshoe pit, we will be hosting a House Warming/Thanks for Helping us Move (Again)/Engagement Party. Details on that shortly, but we are looking at a mid to late July party.

I'm sure there will be plenty of beer, fire, fireworks, hot tubing, horse shoeing etc.

Thanks in advance to all of your support this last year!
