This is just a friendly post I thought I would write. I am missing my family and friends from Michigan a lot these days. I am still having the unbeliveable urge to peck at my husband on the topic of "BABY". I think my clock must be ticking and its sitting right in my ear telling me to get it started. Ugh, I wish that I could be happy and content with the way things are, but I just want a baby so bad that, when ever I stop to think about it, I feel so anxious, its like I need to burst out in tears, scream, yell, what ever. Anyway, I think it hasn't helped that my very best friend in the world, Sarah, just gave birth to her first child and now that is all I can think about.
On another note, I am very excited to have my in-laws come to stay with us in August. This not only will give us time to show them around our new place, but it will give me a little vaca, from work. Which, I desperatly need.
Anyway, I just want to say hello to everyone in Michigan , I miss you all so much. We probably won't be home until Christmas, so I guess we'll see you all then.

Our 3rd New Home, In Less Than 1 Year!
So we are officially moved in to the new house in Bennington VT. We LOVE it. There are still a few boxes to put away, and things to hang on the walls, but, all-in-all things are looking great. Randy's parents are coming to visit us in August, hopefully things will be a little more put together by then.
I also have started carpooling with a woman from my work, so we both only have to drive into Manchester 2 days a week. We are working 10 hour days too, to cut back on traveling. Our neighbors are awesome. To the left of our house is a Vermont State Trooper. He and his wife have a dog, a newer (old style) black Mustang, Motorcycles and 2 other vehicles. They are always working in their yard and are very nice. To the right of us is a duplex. We have met only one couple who live on the furthest end and they are older, and retired. Their names are Bernie and Joanne, she stays home most days, but he is the elevator operator at the Bennington Monument. They RULE. They are both Super nice, and they always stop to talk with us when we are in our yard. I still really miss everyone in Michigan, (tear), but I love living in Vermont too.
Here are a few Pictures of our new Home.
Here is the view from the street. We have a nice little front porch.
This is our HUGE driveway, that, I swear you can fit like 8 cars in.
This is the back yard.
This is the side yard, along the right side of the house.
This is our picnic table that sits under a canopy of red grapes. The grapes will be ready this fall, YUM!
Here are some of those grapes!
This is our back porch, this runs along the left side of the house by the driveway.
Here is the kitchen, the open doorway leads to the laundry room.
Here is the other side of the kitchen.
This is our dining room. We got this solid oak, (or at least we think its oak, it could be pine), table from Bennington Furniture, during Vermont's no sales tax week, for $100. It has 2 leaf inserts that fold down into the underside of the table. We lucked out. The chairs don't match, we still have to find some.
This is a picture of our living room. Hard to tell with it sideways, but, I didn't take the picture.
Another view of our living room. We still need a TV stand/entertainment center. Can't afford that yet.
More views of our awesome table.
This is the table fully extended. It is probably about, 6.5-7.5 feet in length, with the leafs in.
This is my awesome washing machine that we found, in Bennington, on craigslist. It came as a set with a much, much older dryer that we only paid $200 for the pair. We lucked out on this too, since it is an energy star rated front loader and it's only like 4 years old. We basically ended up paying for the washing machine and getting the dryer free. The man we bought it from wanted $300, but my husband knows how to get a bargain!!!
