Another move!!!

Yes you read that right - we are moving again. We are actually getting our own place - found a townhouse to rent - right here in Weatherford. We'll be about 20 minutes from Marti & James and about 25 minutes to Misti & Brien (both are mostly highway miles).

It's a 4/2 split plan with a fenced yard, fireplace and a single car garage. It's nothing fancy at all but it's someplace to call our own :o) We are in the process of slowly moving our things out - we actually just signed the lease on Thursday afternoon.

Misti helped me on Friday with a few items and thankfully, Jason will get off work around 1pm tomorrow that maybe we can do some of the larger items with James' and Brien's help!!

That's all the exciting news we have to share! Oh yeah - Courtney goes to the pulmonary specialist this Wednesday - hopefully she'll be out of her asthma medications and grew out of it...keeping fingers crossed!

Happy 4th of July!!!

Wow - it's been a while and I really have no excuse except that nothing huge has happened.
So far, this is a short version of what has happened though...
  1. Jason's mom came for a visit in May and we really enjoyed her time here even though it seemed so short. We went to the Fort Worth Zoo one day and had a great time.
  2. Courtney's softball team won 1st place :o) Their tournament game was against the other Aledo team that they never won against but this team, they won big!!!
  3. Both kids finished school - Courtney, of course, will be entering 5th grade while CJ will be entering Kindergarten. This will be the only year they'll be at the same school so it'll be nice.
  4. The kids and I traveled back to Alabama in June to collect the remaining things at our friends house that didn't fit on the move out here. We stayed a week and enjoyed our time. We visited several friends - Jamie, Brandon and the girls (they were kind enough to let us stay with them the whole time), Rhonda and the girls (we met up with them for dinner one night but Kevin was working late), Sarah and Colt (Courtney's pitching coach and her little bundle of joy 14 weeks old) and finally, Malissa and Marshall (CJ's best friend from Grace Presbyterian Pre-K). It was a wonderful trip but a very, VERY long drive to and from 10+ hours.
Now for what is happening the rest of the summer (that I know of at this point in time)...
  1. Taking care of the Shafer Zoo while James and Marti are in OK during the 4th holiday weekend.
  2. Getting together with Misti, Brien and the boys along with coworkers of Misti's for a July 4th cookout and fireworks.
  3. Courtney starts volleyball camp - it's the 7th-10th from 9-11am
  4. Courtney's big Pulmonary appointment on the 22nd.
Now that I've caught you all up...maybe I will keep it up. I don't think I could get any worse than 2.5 months of not posting.

Again - hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th!!!
