Will you follow me on over?

First off, I saw a picture of this awesome staircase and had to share it! Love the sentiments too!

Nextly, (is that a word?) I am starting a new blog that will chronicle our journey in making our new house a home. I'd LOVE it if you'd follow me on over to At Home on Orange Blossom Trail 


I hope to concentrate more of my time over there this winter. I've already posted "Before" pix of the house. For the first time in AGES I'm not going all primitive, so decorating has been a real struggle because I don't own much "non prim" stuff. Maybe you'll have some ideas to share?

Happy Thanksgiving to all my awesome friends! I hope to "see you" over on Orange Blossom Trail! 

Oh! Here's one more pic I took of the neighbor's tree. I took it with my cell phone, so it isn't the best, but I loved the sunlight streaming through! 

And...one more...my goofy little girl! lol

So thankful the miners are ALL out!

What an amazing thing to see unfold on live television...the rescue of ALL 33 miners! Thanks be to God!

My $12 Goodwill find! woohoo!

Boboli Pizza Grilling Party!

A few months ago, I applied to host a Beat the BBQ Boredom Boboli pizza party at Houseparty.com. It was my first attempt at applying to host one of the House Parties and I was chosen! WOOHOO!!

Right away Boboli Fed Ex'd us a package containing the coupons we'd need to purchase the pizza supplies as well as coupons for our guests plus recipe cards, reusable Boboli bags, magnets, etc.

We fired up the gas grill and then made several types of pizzas! I don't think we had any leftovers at all!!

Who knew grilling Bobli pizza would be SO YUMMY? This is definitely something we'll be doing often!!

Thank you to Boboli & HouseParty.com for this awesome opportunity! We had 9 guests!

Helloooo

Hello out there! How's everyone doin'? Are you having a sweltering hot summer like we are here in Hoosierland? UGH! I don't wanna rush things, but you might get me to admit I'm nearly ready for fall! It's too stinkin' hot to enjoy spending time outside!

So, we're all moved in to our new house. Except for the stuff stored in our large storage unit. And the small storage unit. And my in-law's garage. And their RV. OK! And their shed too! Sigh. How did we accumulate so much stuff???

Anyhoo. Haven't had a chance to do much decorating or anything here yet. Well, especially since most of my decor is stored in that RV I mentioned. Between my baby turning 2 on July 1, our 17th anniversary on July 3, a teething child and me having strep throat...well, I haven't gotten much of anything done, it seems.

I'm actually sitting on the floor, typing this, on our home computer (not a laptop) in a empty upstairs loft because we don't have any furniture in here yet. That's OK. I need the exercise of getting up and down off the floor. LOL What a sight to behold!

Still trying to adjust to living in a neighborhood with actual people as neighbors instead of raccoons, foxes, bunnies, deer and what not that we were used to before. But, it's actually just what I need. I'm working on some personal growth and I've spent way too many years keeping to myself, not having friends to do things with, etc. I'm also really shy, so that only added to my isolation. I've been talking to our new neighbors and even went for a walk through the neighborhood last night. People are out everywhere! Walking, play, mowing, swimming, gardening, bike riding. It's amazing. At our old house in the country, I could mow for 2 hours and never see a car pass by!

Well, I'm all talked out for now. LOL I hope y'all are having your best summer ever!

My baby turns 2 today!

Moving!

We've found a new house and we're moving this weekend! Woohoo! I've started a new blog called At Home on Orange Blossom Trail to chronicle our journey in making this new house a HOME! I hope you'll come over and check it out and follow us on the journey!
