Update

I have been wanting to write in my blog for what seems like a long time. So much has been going on and the stories and pictures have been building. So here is an update to all those who were wondering ...

Lauren (one of my favorite people) came to visit with her family. Here she is w/ John and her dad at the farmers market. Bill is sitting on a bicycle that will churn lots of fresh berries into a smoothie that we all could proudly drink. Her family found a turtle named "Blueberry" and I have heard rumors that it didn't quite make the trip home. There was also some question as to who exactly urinated in the hot tub but I'm pretty sure it was Claire. Any way, I love them and we had a great time.

I don't have a picture of Gina (John's other sister) who came to visit recently as well. There is no evidence that she was here but you'll just have to trust me. She brought her baby June and Danny came was here for a few days before traveling for business. June is getting so big!

We have finally moved in to our new house!!!! I'll have more pictures once I finally have some of my things unpacked. John and I have been super busy but we are so happy to come home to this beautiful house. I hope you all can come and enjoy sometime soon.

Some pictures of my front yard. I love that my tree is blooming. Oh and look at those roses.

Yes, they came w/ the house!

Here it is ladies and gentlemen ... tah dah!!! My first square foot garden x 2 and it's awesome. Tomatoes, peppers, bunches of herbs and more to come. I not only have a garden but a rain barrel and a compost bin. We have had a lot of hot days and all of the plants are loving it. There is nothing like an organic garden to make a girl smile.

Our good friend David Nickle had a day off from his Army training to enlighten us w/ his wonderful music making. We miss him again already.
