just some pics from Indiana

What I did on my summer vacation :)

Meg and I (with the driving skills of my mother) got to Indiana on the 13th of July. We saw our house for the first time on the 14th and closed on the 15th!! We are now in debt forever and I couldn't be more excited!!! We celebrated with dinner at Applebees and some shopping. We did some more shopping while we were home, helped Mom do some things around her house, visited with my Daddy several times. We also decided what colors to paint the bedrooms, and the family room and how we want to arrange things. We went to my brothers a few times and my neice and nephew spent the night at Mom's with us. Todd, Chels and Lily Belle arrived in Indiana on the 3rd of August. We were VERY excited to see them. That evening Todd and Chels got to see our house for the first time, and they love it too. Although Chels had a bit of culture shock since she is not a country girl at all. :( Todd spent a very short time on his birthday renewing his drivers license, he finally has a picture on it again! We went shopping in Fort Wayne that week, the girls loved it partially because they also got to eat Chick-fil-a :) We went to Delt Church Park a few times where the girls had a great time playing in the water and gathering small shells. Todd and I spent a lot of time there as teens and also when the girls were little. On the 9th we went to my 20th class reunion, it was AWESOME!! We had a great time!!! We left Sunday night and got back to Fort Hades, Maryland around 7:30 Monday morning. I am glad to have all the family back together, animals included but...I really want to pack everything up and move back to our house on the 23rd when the wonderful lady we bought the house from moves on to the next chapter in her life. But I will TRY to wait patiently until Todd is able to retire and we will be together in our house next year. I will be doing some traveling back and forth over the next several months. I will probably be there for several months in a row during the winter, this maybe one winter I don't care for snow. I will be doing the painting and working on a few other things, plus I have stuff at both Dad's and Mom's that needs to be moved into the house. We will also be sending boxes home periodically. We are so excited!!!! I hope everyone is having a very wonderful summer. If I can get Chels to finally get the pics off of her camera I will post some later!!
