Ryan's Home!

Just over a week ago, my brother Ryan came home from Iraq! We are so excited to have him home, but also proud of him. He and his troop worked 12 hour days 6-7 days a week guarding prisoners of war in a prison in Iraq. They were gone from their families for about a year. Ryan and Jocelyn have not even been married for 2 years, so she's glad to have him back. We are proud that he served, but very happy to have him back! Way to go Ryan!

More Pictures of the House!

Well, I've had a few requests for more pictures of the house, so here they are. It's a 2 story, 4 bedroom house with 2 1/2 bathrooms a 4 car garage, and an unfinished basement. We are so excited to move in that it hurts! Our closing date is set for June 25th and we are moving in on Saturday the 28th. I've already started packing! It won't be long now!

Ode to our apartment

We have been extremely blessed to find this apartment. It has been kind of like living in a condo. We have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and more space than we had in our prevoius house. Plus we have an attatched garage! Yes it's attatched. Just outside our windows (between our building and another) there is a swing set which our kids have really enjoyed.


The windows right behind John are our windows.




Also between the buildings is this great big Driveway area: A "circle" for the lack of a better word. We have spent countless hours out there riding bikes and playing with friends and talking to neighbors that we've made great friends with. If you have to live in an apartment then we picked the very best one!


Our awesome place to play!


It has been a great place for us. We've swam in the pool when the weather's been great! We've not shoveled a single walk or drive way in the feet and feet of snow we've had this winter. And John has made great use of the Gym. We've enjoyed it.



Just look at that view!




That being said, I can't wait til we get out of this money pit and get into our own beautiful house! :-)!!!!!!
