We bought a new house!

Well, new isn't the best way to describe it! We purchased a 1926 farm house on 1/3 acre.... it is exactly 1 block from our existing home. Our home sold in 3 days, which we took as a positive sign.

We will be doing some extensive remodeling.... so we have been glued to HGTV for inspiration! Our family thinks we are a tad crazy, as we move on March 14th, and baby Mason is due on the 27th. It will all work out... because we have such great family and friends. We can't wait for all of you to see it!

Family Members.. the 4 legged type.

We have 4 wonderful animals. Sumi and Peaches, both cats, whom I brought into the relationship. Michael adopted Brody soon after we started dating... and then there is Maisy, whom we adopted this past May. They are very naughty at times, but we love them all the same!

From top to bottom: Peaches (this is usually the closest she comes to us, for food! She is a true outdoor cat... but sure does love wet food)

Maisy, Sumi and Brody are the rest.

All 4 animals have been rescued from the Humane Society.

The Beginning.... August 5th, 2006.

August 5th, 2006. Michael and I got married! Mike's sister Lisa was our photographer... she is truly talented and wonderful. Here are a few of her wonderful pictures.... My sister Emilee, and her husband Joe are also shown.
