Our New Home




Well all,
here we are almost all settled, in our new home in Nebraska. We are loving it here! The weather is beautiful (even with the occational severe storms). The corn is amazing! 3 1/2 days after moving in we had a very severe storm move through and we ended up having to rush to the tornado room and pray that the storm missed us. Luckily the tornado touched down about a mile south of us. We ended up buying 2 weather alert radios which have really come in handy. We have had to adjust to having them go off every couple of days. They are really loud and Mikaila says they are scary. Its really freaky to have it go off and say that the tornado is located near Gretna and then have the Gretna sirens go off. Mike is still in Hawaii and will be there until Sept. 26th. He is flying out tomorrow to visit for a week and we are really excited to see him. Shelby started her first job today at Subway here in Gretna. We had to go and have lunch there to say hi to her. She was embarrased of course. We got our new little pup on June 13th. He is very cute and knows it. He started puppy training today. For the most part he is a good dog. His name is Dagoney. House training is going wonderfully. He comes and stares at you when he has to go out potty. I will post a picture of him as soon as i can get one. I planted a garden just 4 days after getting here and have been spending many back breaking hours working in it. Hopefully it will be worth it come fall. Well thats all for now. Will post again soon.

I'm so glad that you have a blog. I totally love your house and it sounds like you're all having a great time. You didn't say anything about the kitchen, is it as fabulous as you were expecting? I can't wait to hear how your garden turns out.
