For Sale

So the yard got finished on Thursday and turned our great! I'm bummed that we have this awesome yard now that we're moving! Boo!

We met with the relator today and our house is going up for sale tomorrow! Sending good thoughts our way that it sells soon!

So we're planning on moving to Idaho at the end of July

That's all for now!

YAY!

I found out on Friday that I'll be able to do my current job from Idaho! Best part is I'll be working from home! :) So thankful it worked out so I can stay with the company!

Hope everyone had a nice Easter!

The Latest

So we're still waiting to hear if I can transfer my job and work in Idaho but do the same job I currently do. I'm crossing my fingers hoping it works out! I've worked so hard for my company that it would be awesome! So send some good thoughts our way! :) Hopefully, we'll hear something with the next week! ::I hope!::

We tore a pond out and a tree out of one side of our yard - so we can re-do it and make it look nicer and have more yard, (vs all the bark dust near the corner area) better curb appeal. I rototilled up the yard by myself while Jeremy was busy spreading gravel in the RV parking area on the side of our house. We thought the dirt was too moist to do anything further - unfortunately we have received a ton of rain and have a big mud pit out front! So who knows when we'll be able to finish it! Other than that, most the stuff we needed to do around the house is done!

We have to be to Idaho in July - anytime - it's up to us, and we are about 3 months out and not in a hurry to pin down an exact date yet.

We're thinking about making a trip out there in the next month to check out the area.

Other than that, not much else to report.

We're Moving To...

...Boise, Idaho!

Jeremy got a promotion so we're off to Idaho later this year. We don't know exactly when we need to be there quite yet, we've been told mid-summer. We will be selling our home and will begin the misc projects and fixing the front yard. We took a pond out and are re-doing one side which we'll start this weekend.

I've requested a transfer with my job and am waiting to hear back, which may take several weeks...so I have to be patient.

We're really excited to begin a new journey!! :)

I'll try to keep this more updated, and I'll have more to write about with everything going on with the move :)

I'm looking forward to more sunshine in Idaho...I've read they get something like 250 days of sunshine a year! Yes!

Aunty Connie is visiting this weekend and we're looking forward to hanging out! :)

California

We went to California the first week of January with Jeremy's parents, grandparents, and brother Michael and sister-in-law Juana.

We drove and covered quite a bit of area, stopped in at Jelly Belly...

We went to the Winchester House in San Jose, I'd never been there before but was really cool!

We then met up with Jeremy's cousin Ashleigh and her fiance Brian for breakfast.

We then drove down 101 and stopped in San Simeon near southern California and went to the Hearst Castle...wow that was amazing!

We then headed to Santa Barbara and saw Jeremy's cousin Kaelee and her boyfriend Matt - we had lunch at a great Mexican place called Freebird's!

We got back in the truck and drove to Anaheim, where we spent 3 full days at Disneyland. Jeremy's cousins Mark, Jonathan, Kirstie, Victoria, Bryce, and Aunt Katherine met us there, Uncle Kurt also stopped in before headed to a business trip. We were lucky and had awesome weather the whole time we were there...70's in January! We stayed at the Disneyland Hotel which was a nice treat! My college friend Emily met us for dinner one night too. We had a great time and saw some wonderful sunsets!

We started our journey back home and stopped and met my brothers for dinner before starting the journey back to Oregon. It was a nice week away to relax!

Now it's back to reality...and the rain!

In other news, work has been going good, keeping busy as always. I found out that our office will be relocating to the Bridgeport Village area this spring. Not ideal since my current commute is about 25 minutes to Tanasbourne area. I'm thankful to have a great job so I can deal with the commute!

Today I had my review at work and have received really good reviews that last few years so I didn't keep my hopes up because I didn't know if they'd continue to give me really good reviews...well today I received an extremely good review! :)

We'll always miss you buttercup!

Happy girl after getting groomed :)

It's been just over a month since we lost our wonderful Dixie.  It was so hard at first and still is hard, but our family and friends have been so supportive! We are doing better but not a day goes by that we don't think about her. She left so many memories behind...like chewing our TiVo remote, dog hair that still seems to end up on things, no one to pick up food dropped on the floor when I'm cooking.  She was truly amazing.  We would like to get another dog from the same breeder, Aussie are so amazing but this breeder has amazing dogs.  Lexi's my parents dog (Dixie's sister from another litter) has a sister named Kizme that had puppies this summer is going to be bread again, so we hope to get another puppy from her next litter, we're not sure when she's expected to go into heat. My parents bought her for us as a wedding gift, she was expensive and I remember my dad always asking after we got her if I'd pay what they got for her, I always smiled, after she passed I told my mom I'd pay $1,000+ to get another Dixie :)

R.I.P. Dixie

I haven't been on in a while, got lots of pictures to post but am posting bad news instead. Our Australian Shepherd Dixie passed away on October 6, 2009. We are really struggling without her here :(

She was such a big part of our life and did everything with us that it makes it 10 times harder. It's like losing a close family member :( I know we'll get through it but she was such a wonderful dog and we know she'll always watch over us but we miss her sooo much!

When I'm up for it I'll do another post about everything else.
