Home & Internet service!!!

I got internet service this morning! Been very thankful for my phone!! Only a few more days to the start of my new job. I'm excited to start and get settled into a routine. Although there's enough to unpack that it might be a little bit before a true routine gets started.

There are some absolutely wonderful neighbors here! Saturday morning a couple of families showed up and, with Erika and Nick's help, had a packed to the gills U-Haul unloaded in 2 1/2 hours! We were thinking it might take a couple of days to unpack the thing but we had it returned in the early afternoon on Saturday. And then today a neighbor mowed my lawn after he'd done his. I've order my lawn mower but it won't be delivered until the 7th! My first riding lawn mower ever! All other yards have been too small but I think a half acre warrants one! :) There are two fruit trees. A Crab Apple and a Plum. They're still pretty small so it'll be a while before I get anything off them. Went to Lowe's today and got flowers, herbs and a couple of peppers and tomatoes. I know it'll be awhile before I have time to do that again so got them while I could!! Now to get them into the ground.

Goodbye old house!

Hello new house!!

1 day!!!

My current house is officially sold and I'm on my last day of living in Portland. The house in Rupert is set to record tomorrow (today)! I'm just in awe with how it's all come together and am excited to start a new chapter in my life! I think all is packed and ready for the movers to load tomorrow. One glitch is that the hot water hose connecting the downstairs sink decided to start spraying. :( Hoping I can get someone out tomorrow. Fingers crossed one of my clients can help!!

Aunt Nancy visited Thursday/Friday and Christina is visiting for a day. It's been/will be nice having goodbye visits!! :)  We also had a sing Friday night so I got to say goodbye to a lot of the friends in the field. Then a lunch Sunday for our meeting and finger food after Wednesday night meeting. A couple of visits tomorrow  (today, its late!!!) with some dear friends. Today is packed with various appointments so it'll be interesting to see how this last day goes!

A very dear friend isn't doing well at all. Shirley S. took a severe tumble and found out that she is in kidney failure. I was very thankful that I got to see her before I left! She's such a sweet lady and a wonderful example. Her numbers were better today but she said that only gave her a few more additional days. I'm to the point in life that there's more happiness then sadness when a faithful soul passes into eternity. Life is hard and they have went to their reward and don't have to worry about anything else ever again. That's a wonderful place to be!!

Next blog will be from my new house! But it'll be about a week. No internet until next week after today! But I'll post some pictures the end of next week.

Teagan turns 6!

It's hard to believe that Teagan turns 6 this week!! We had her B-day party last weekend. Wonder Women showed up too! Teagan was pretty excited! The lighting wasn't the greatest for picture taking but none the less pictures need to be taken!! :)
