Sweet Home Alabama

Our trip to Alabama on spring break was so relaxing and fun.
Here are some things I loved:
-the beach
-sleeping in
-going out many nights
-making breakfast every morning
-getting a tan
-going shopping at the outlet mall 3 times
-acting like a lil kid picking up shells
-enjoying our friends wedding on the beach
-enjoying a good party at the beach house (which includes tables breaking:)
-being with family and friends
-eating at Lamberts - best restaurant ever- they throw rolls at you and you get free refills on anything you want!
-finally hanging out at FloraBama - best trashy bar to see
-eating lots of FRIED food! which includes my favorite gator bites!
-watching the UNI game with lots of CF people
-going to the zoo
-getting our kite up in the air 1,200 feet! It then landed on top of our condo. Luckily we got it down without too much injury to the kite. It was so fun...so many people on the beach were cheering for our airplane kite:)

Our family...

Tough Love

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night with thoughts runnin all over and couldn't sleep.
The Cosby Show was on so I watched some of that. It was an episode where the kids were talking about how boys and girls are mean to each other. They then inferred that being mean to each other just means you like each other.
I then started thinking about when I was younger. At daycare there was this cool loft in the basement. The floor in the basement was just concrete. Well, there was this boy who liked me. He liked me so much he handcuffed me. Then he took it to the next level and pushed me off the loft- right on the concrete floor! Teeth went through my lower lip. Stitches from there. A scar today. I think he must have loved me.

We are moving!!

We finally have sold our house!

This has been a process and hard for me at times to be patient. Now I know that it has all been in God's timing and his plan.

We close on the house April 2nd(maybe a week earlier than that).

We close on our land next week. Our land is on N. Union Rd. in Cedar Falls. We are going to be neighbors with Krista and Danielle's parents- the Goetzs!! We are super excited about this. We have 5 acres of land. The first step will be AJ putting up our pole building for his work shop/business. We are also going to be putting a loft inside there for us to live while the house is being built. The loft will be approx. 600 sq. ft. Oh the adventure we will have!! Our goal is to be in our house by Christmas time. So until now and the pole building being built...I think we are moving in with AJ's parents for a couple of months!

We did the initial house plans. Now Spahn and Rose Lumber in Waverly are working on final plans. Hopefully I will post some pictures of our house plans soon.

We took the dogs to the land last weekend. They loved all the room! Roy gained a lil weight this winter(tough subject for him) so he kinda sunk in the snow while hiking around. He was pooped- plus snow kept sticking in his paws! Abby just explored!

This was a picture on my way up to and through our land.

This was Roy trying to bite out the snow chunks that stuck to his paws.

Now I need to begin packing...how fun!
