So long, farewell...




It's been a pleasure Mr. Trees. I really did enjoy the shade that you made on the backyard. But,(and there is always a but), you were pine trees, and pine trees and gutters just don't mix. I awoke this morning to my husband happily announcing at 730am that our trees would come down today. WHAT!?! I am not ready yet...I thought we were just getting quotes. Nope! Tree service guys came at 11am sharp and started the cutting process, scarring me half to death I might add since some of the trees were rather close to the house. The girls and I watched from the sun room windows as one by one they fell and were hauled away. Thanks again for the shade Mr. Trees, if only you were not pine trees we could of had a life long relationship (well at least as long as we lived in this house).

Monthly recap


Wow,
Time has flown by since we left WA state and made the move East to Virginia. Today is the day for us to close on our new house and start the process of getting settled in. Something that I will be taking very slowly, of course, since I have 9 weeks left until Miss Faith can make her presence, not that I am counting :-)

We have definitely enjoyed our time here in Northern VA with Uncle Al and Aunt Joyce, and yes Mr. Sebastian too. The girls and I loved going to VBS, the cooking and sewing lessons, and just relaxing and playing. 3 hours separate us so we can always come and visit soon!

We are super excited that Mike will be home in two weeks, yeah!!!!

So be on the lookout for my blog to be updated with something each day (my goal), Until next time (hopefully my Internet will be installed on the 17th as planned, otherwise I may have to wait as long as the 23rd)...
