Moving Day!

We will actually have a couple of moving days I guess in the next 6 months (fingers crossed). Yesterday we became city folks! :) We will be living with Tisha, Casey's sister, while we sale and build our new house. Its very exciting! We decided since we were going to have to live some where while Casey was building the house that we would go ahead and go now. Hoping that having a staged house and not having to worry about keeping it clean and viewing ready at all times would be easier. So we did it! The only problem was Bella... I had been asking around for a few months and in the back of my mind I thought I had Brad (possibly Craig as a last resort, but he has 2 dogs already) in the back of my mind. Brad didn't seemed thrilled, but he has been our babysitter for the last 9 years when we would go out of town. Any ways, now we are on the search for a foster family for Bella. I know something will work out in time, but for now Cole and I are at Tisha's and Casey is at our house with Bella. Hopefully he can get some things done while he is there too! :) I am excited about our adventure. I feel lucky and blessed to have a wonderful sister-in-law to take us on. I am hoping we can motivate each other to eat well and exercise too!
I took one picture last night of our current view. I will have to add some more!

Our Birthday!!

Dinner at Logan's
Another Birthday in the books! It was a nice relaxing day with my two boys, then an early dinner with the family at Logan's, then off to met some friends to go to Jellystone Lights at Opryland. Apparently they have done the lights at for 4 or 5 years now, but this was the first year that I had heard of it. Since Brad and Karen were gone for the holidays and we saw that it was running until January 4th we decided to go. We also decided because it is $25 a car or bus or truck. Brad drives the church bus once a month, so he asked the guy if we could use it and he said yes! So we asked the Wray's, Greer's and Matlock's to go with us! We had a party bus! :) We had a fun time! We went to the mall afterwards for sweet cece's and to ride the carousel. Party's aren't what they use to be, but we had a good time!
