Home Sweet Home...

You know, I have wanted to move to Florida for some years now, and it is finally happening! I can't believe it, picked up the keys today though. Taylor and I are the only ones down here, and the only reason we came down, is we found the house on Craigslist, and we read so many stories about people conning people out of $$, so I just came down to meet them in person, they are legit and the home is fabulous and in a great community with pools, workout rooms, spa, tennis courts, etc, etc, but the best part is, and Taylor timed it today, it is 2 minutes and 37 seconds from the ocean!!!! Yeah...

Taylor at the ocean today...

You can walk for miles if you choose, I LOVE it!!!

Yeah, like I said, 2 minutes and 37 seconds from our house... :)

Ponte Vedra Beach baby! Can you tell I'm excited? I am!

Yes, this is our new home! The guy we are getting it from is such a nice guy, we had a great time meeting him today and his kid. Yeah, the van, they are cleaning it up for us. The guy is so nice, it was very great to meet them...

So yeah, dream come true... I am so stoked, and luckily my company let me do it... Now to just get all of our shit down here, 13 days... I don't care... A few more days to toil, then we will be down here. So from now on, instead of watching Imus in the Morning, I will be at the ocean, each and every day, strolling through the surf at 5:30 or 6ish, then will head home to wake the kiddos up to get them ready for school, did I mention that the ocean is only 2 minutes and 37 seconds away?? :)

Rodeo...

Yeah, these are in no particular order, but we were driving back from lunch yesterday and saw a sign that said the rodeo was in town, so we decided to go. I guess the last time we went to a rodeo, we took Cory and James when Cory was about 10. So off we went...

Carolyn and I, obviously...

Taylor and I, Taylor with her new hat on, Tanner decided to go for the bullwhip instead... :)

Tanner trying to win $100 for going up that side of the rock wall, he did not make it... :)

The start of the rodeo...

Before it started. Chance isn't with us because he decided to go to his friends house instead of join us, although he did tell me he wants to go to a rodeo, but he had already made plans for this particular evening... :)

So we had a good time, and LUCKILY I wore jeans as it was a bit chilly the later it got. First time I have even worn jeans since Spring, sigh... Also, I REALLY need a new camera as out of the 45+ pictures I took, only these really turned out, oh well...

Happy Birthday Tanner!

So my boy turned 13 on Thursday, but of course did not want to celebrate until today! So we did! We went to the fair from about 10 - 4, then came home and had the pizza party and opened presents! A good time was had by all...

The birthday boy!

Chance got a laptop for his birthday, Taylor got one for Christmas, so Tanner was the only who did not have one, he did have an old computer of mine, but I do not have ethernet run here, so he could not use it really, so he is finally glad to have his own!

Opening cards and presents!

Of course I only took about 5 pictures at the fair, not sure why...

Taylor and her friend Victoria! All of the kids took one of their friends, and my co-worker and his family met us there, so we all had a good time.

The fair just about wears me out though, just walking all over the place. I of course wore shorts and a t-shirt, and it was freezing! I just have a thing about this time of year and dragging my jeans out, because once Spring hits, I put them up and only wear shorts until about now, sigh, I guess I need to break them out... :)
