Home

There is really nothing like being at home. Justin and I are back from Wisconsin. It feels good. The garden is beautiful and the weather is fine (for now). I'll post pictures as soon as I can find the connector to download them. It is still lost in the swirling mass of stuff in the basement.

We're In

After many loads of boxes and many curse at how much stuff we have, we have arrived in our new house. Some instant advantages to the new place have been hearing the birds instead of cars zooming by, having a porch swing and a big open back yard for badminton. I'll post some more photos soon.

Almost Ours

Here are some photos of the Little White House, soon to be ours!

Mothers Day

Since we were camping on the real Mothers Day we had a celebration the next weekend at Sarah's house. Sarah and I have bonded over the love of Rachael Ray magazine. With Rachael's help we created a nice little dinner for our Mom and Grandma. It was fun!

Luxury Camping

Over the weekend of Mothers Day we went "camping" near McCook, Nebraska. It was pouring rain as we sped down I-80 west. Luckily James had mentioned that there was a cabin to stay in if it rained. When we arrived, our friends were huddled near a fire wearing rain ponchos. So much for the tent camping part. The "cabin" was very nice and was a perfect place to hang out and play games while it rained and rained. The next day (after "camping" inside on mattresses) it was beautiful and we did get in some awesome badminton before we had to go home!

Molly

Molly died on Monday. Though I did not know her well, Molly the dog was as sweet and loving as any dog can be. She belonged to my sister-in-law and had recently been living with my in-laws. She became paralyzed suddenly and had to be put to sleep. Change (especially the sad kind) does not come easy to humans and when it is sudden it's even worse. My family is upset and grieving. Pets will do that to you. They are not human, but worm their way into your heart as if they were.

Little White House

Justin and I are in the process of buying a house! Three things I hate are involved: moving, money and madness...but we're doing it anyway. Pictures to come soon.
