I think his Tractor's Sexy

We are discovering home ownership comes with expenses we didn't have to worry about before... like a lawn tractor. A regular mower wouldn't do (though I don't really blame him with the size of the yard). After a few test drives on our friend Brandon's John Deere, Kyle just had to have one for himself.

The fun part of finally having a yard has been planting flowers. Here are a few shots of my recent plantings. Hope I can keep them alive through the summer!

Love my girls

In High School I was blessed to have a fantastic group of girlfriends. Who knew 10 years later we would still be the best of friends! So thankful to have such great friends that remain close - dispite the miles between us.

(Only one missing is Jig! Thank goodness she's moving closer to GA!)

True to form, we finished up our night out at Krispy Kreme! One thing I love about these girls is their love for sugar & sweets -- would hate to be the only one devouring donuts :)

Long Time no blog

Wow! I've been pretty bad at this blogging this, huh? Somehow the spring flew by and we're now into summer! I'm counting down the days to our week long beach trip to Fernandina, FL... t-minus 7 days!
Since my last post *GASP* FOUR months ago here's what we've been up to:

Celebrating Easter at Gretchen & Justin's

What the pictures don't show is the little adventure we had between church in the morning & Easter lunch. Kyle & I spend the night with Gretchen and Justin the night before Easter and went to church with everyone in the morning.

Since we only had Sadie for a few weeks and she was adjusting (ie - sometimes had accidents inside) we left Sadie and Buddy outside in the fenced in yard together.

When we got home Buddy was there to greet us, but Sadie was no where to be found. No holes, no open gates, no sign of her anywhere. Little did we know what an escape artist we had! Kyle and Justin went out and searched the neighborhood for Sadie with no luck.

We were getting a bit nervous when we couldn't find her after an hour of searching. Just when the boys came in to take a break and change out of their church outfits, who comes walking up the driveway... That's right - Miss Sadie!

We still don't know exactly how she got out or where her adventures took her, but we were so relieved she decided to come back!

Our little escape artist

More to come...
