a tent or a cottage why do I care?

We got a house!!!

I'll post more later with pics. We don't have internet at the house yet, so I'm using the library.


Until next time...

Hello New Mexico

I really wish I could put some pictures on here of all we have seen since we've been here. But we don't have internet yet, and I'm borrowing a computer at a friend's house. I have some pictures online, but I don't know how to get them over here without downloading to our friend's computer. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get some on here soon.

We're all really enjoying this new location. It's very dry compared to east TN. That was soooo humid! My clothes actually get dry on the clothesline here! lol

The mountains are beautiful. Also so different from the Smokies, but still they have their own beauty.

We've been to White Sands. The kids had a blast there playing in the hills of sand. They were able to borrow some sleds and sled down the hills. It's just like snow; only not cold!

The town is small enough to not get lost (too much), but large enough to meet most of our needs. We will have to travel out of town for buying in bulk like at Sam's Club or Costcos. But the Wal-Mart Supercenter is here and also a small grocery store. We've been shopping there (the grocery store) more because the produce is cheaper and they make fresh tortillas! Last week they were giving out samples. Yum! There's nothing like a warm, fresh tortilla.

So overall, we're having a good time. I'm not going to say we are living a dream; we have our problems. But I am determined to only put the positive on here. Except for the rattlesnakes...and scorpions. But those are just a fact of life around here. So ignore that part. :)

Until next time...

last update for a while probably

This will probably be the last time I post for a while. I know I have gone long stretches before without posting, but this time I don't know for sure when I can.

I may try to update on the way, but it will be on borrowed computers.

Then I don't know how long it will be once we get there to get the internet hooked up again.

So good-bye Tennessee...

...hello New Mexico. :)

Until next time...

What's going on...

...at my house?

Boxes packed

Bubble wrap for fragile items

Boxes to be packed

Junk to get rid of (yard sale - oh yeah!)

So far it looks like we'll be headed west...way west...like New Mexico west.
Quite a switch from eastern Tennessee.
And if nothing changes in the near future, it looks like we'll be leaving within a couple of months.
We're looking forward to what God has for us.

Until next time...

some updates

So some updates are due I suppose.

Pregnancy: going well. Nothing unusual. Starting to feel a little more awake now. :) Just finished the first trimester so it should pick up a little.

Moving? Ehh...not sure. Still looking of course. I must say that we have two possibilities and BOTH are in New Mexico. Quite a change, huh? Well, if that's where God wants us. But we are taking it slow.

Kids are healthy.

School is going well.

Animals are healthy and growing. Getting more chicks this week and next. If we do move far away, some friends are going to be benefiting from our farm. :) We won't be taking animals with us if we go too far.

So, that's it in a nutshell.



Until next time...
