We're Here!


We're finally all moved in, although there are still boxes and whatnots sitting around. For those that asked, here is a pic of the front, and I will post more once I get things organized. The pics on the real estate site just don't do it justice. It's gorgeous! The kids have a great backyard to play in, the neighborhood is awesome and has it's own park that we can ride bikes to...we are 5 minutes from Old Navy, Blockbuster, Best Buy, Target, all the food places we can think of...but removed so that we don't see or hear any traffic. It's really great.

It still seems surreal being here, I kind of feel like I'm on vacation, just with all my stuff! I guess it will seem real when I get our new furniture and I can get back into our old routines. Reed has already begun his new job (he wanted to take a week off to be with us and explore, but they needed him right away! :( oh well! ) and he seems to like everything there so far!

Wish us luck!

Gettin' in the spirit...

The weather here the past few days has been miserable! Cold and windy and COLD! I don't mind cold if it seems to have a purpose--bring snow, winter rain, get us out of school...but this recent weather seems to only be interested in making my family sick, giving me the Rudolph Effect, and running down the gas in our car since we have to crank it approximately 2 hours before leaving for anywhere. Suck!
My sister in law has ever so sweetly been keeping us apprised on the weather out in Phoenix...73 and sunny!! 70 and not a cloud in the sky! 72 and beautiful!! (see the pattern?) so rather than be jealous, I'm just going to get into the spirit and think how lucky we will be to miss the February Crush of wind and rain and gray stuff while we are basking in the AZ sun. ::poke::
Here are some pics... click to make them larger if you want!





more house pics coming shortly...we may have gotten an even nicer one than pictured below!











One last note...I've had tons of people lately telling me they read my blog, and I had NO IDEA! Why are you hiding? You can make a comment and make my day! Hi Jimmy! Hi Rhea! Hi Everyone!
