Pictures of our new yard!

I took some pictures last night of some of the things growing/living in our yard. We will be spending a lot of time in our yard in the week's to come. The plants/flowers are growing out of control and most everything needs to be trimmed.

We found the frogs on top of one of our shutters. I had to hold the camera up and try to get them in the pic. The lizard was on the screen of our screened in porch. Misty tries to chase them, but they are way too fast for her.

Also, the site includes a picture of our Dining Room (before we moved in/after we moved in). Our house is a maze of boxes!

Official Florida Residents!

Well, we are now official residents of "rainy" Florida!! It has rained every day that we have been here so far. lol!

Our move from Raleigh was a little interesting - Our move from Raleigh went okay. We didn't leave Raleigh until Tuesday evening at 10pm (our house closing was the next day so we had to drive all night). One of our movers got into a fight with the driver of our moving truck over how much he thought he should be paid and he took off without finishing the job. So, it took some extra hours to get the work done. The mover that ended up staying called his family and his father and some other family members helped load the rest of the truck. Thank you Lord for his family and that they were willing to help us out!!

Our closing went well. Nothing out of the ordinary. The move into our new house went well too, but the prior homeowners left the house without cleaning ANYTHING. I was pretty sad about that. We have a lot of work to do still to get the place cleaned up.

Kevan's mom visited us this weekend. She was a great help!! We got a lot done while she was here and I'm thankful that she was able to come and help out! Thank you Judy!! Next time I promise we can relax at the beach or spend some time in the sun!

I will be putting some pictures out soon. We have a huge cactus in our backyard and I'll post a picture of it sometime this week. Thank you all for your prayers. We love you guys!
