  • Update of my life...

    Here is a quick update on my life.  Now you know why there have been no blogs...  We have been crazy busy the last few months. 

    My sister had a baby in December, Ruby!  I am finally an aunt! This is almost as much fun as having you own kids.  I had no idea how fun it is to just spoil someone.  We have already taken like a million photos of her!!!!!  Look at how sweet she is!  You just want to pinch her bottom

    We put a For Sale by Owner sign in our yard on Christmas Day.  Our friend owns Showcase for Homes.  Check it out!  It is just like a Realtor listing  http://showcaseforhomes.com/  She offered to let us use her sign over the holiday before we went with a Realtor.  We SOLD our house in 11 DAYS!  Thank you so much for the sign and service!  Oh did I mention we closed on it 10 days after the ice storm.  UGGH!

    In January we bought a new house!  So we scheduled a HUGE moving sale.  You guessed it, the weekend of the ice storm.  We had it anyway.  The house was set up for it and I had to get rid of everything.  I was amazed at how many people came.  There was nothing eles to do with no eletricity and it was warm inside so why not.  We got rid of everything and moved into the new one.  Our new house is great!  Concrete floors, great colors, more rooms, more bathrooms, huge kitchen, and 8 acres of woods!  Which brings me to what is really eating all our time.  Eight acres of woods with an ice storm is a huge mess.  We had trees hit the house as well.  So lots and lots of construtions and clean up.  We work a little every day.  Everytime it rains we burn a new pile.  So we should have it all clear by the time my kids go to college.  The good news is we were going to clear some of the trees anyway.  God just gave us a head start.  We love it out here!
