A lot has changed since the last blog. The biggest being that I am no longer in Delaware.. I am now living in Tennessee in our first house. I got the keys on Friday, the 21st. I was able to recruit the help of awesome family members to help with the move. Mom, Daddio, Parry and Nathan arrived Friday afternoon, after I had completed all of my meetings and we were able to get the truck and trailer unloaded in good time. After everything was unloaded and the big projects were put together, we made a trip to the storage unit so we could get the futon for someone to sleep on. We were able to load of the trailer and leave in 20 minutes. Talk about hardworkers! We woke up on Saturday morning and started all over again. Mom and I went to Lowes to shop for the house. I was able to find the perfect washer and dryer, which were on sale!! Thank goodness! I also bought blinds, the curtain rods, a cabinet for over the toilet in our master bath, and a cute little mirror for our bedroom. When we got back from the store, the men were making their last trip to the storage unit. All of the furniture was moved out before noon and they were even nice enough to sign us out of the storage unit, so now that payment is gone!! We got all of the furniture and started the little projects. Mom made a list of everything that needed to be done before everyone left me and everyone worked their butts off to make sure everything got done. They left Sunday morning and I didn't mind staying by myself because the house already felt like a home. I really appreciate all of their help! It was extremely nice of them to put their lives on hold to help us move. I also appreciate all of the offers from others to help. It is very comforting to know that we have so many family members and friends that love and support us.
After everyone left on Sunday, I started unpacking more boxes and then went to the Splash Park to meet Karen, Christina, and the kiddies. I enjoyed spending time with them and catching up. It's nice knowing that I am out here for good and will be able to spend time with them.
While I was with Karen and the girls, Paul called me to inform me that he had just spent a while on the phone with a German Shepherd breeder from Chattanooga. He has been researching German Shepherd breeders and found Sequoyah Breeders. They have a perfect female and male that were recently bred and they are planning on breeding them again in September. Paul was so excited on the phone and I just knew that we would be getting one of these puppies. I sent out the deposit yesterday and I guess we will be adding a German Shepherd puppy to our family in February. Here are pictures from the last litter of pups from Tigress and Wasko.
We are really excited to add a puppy to our family!
Update on Paul ~>
Everything is going good with our soldier and he has been switched to nights. This of course leads to long, boring nights of looking up information on German Shepherds! =) The latest news is that he is number three on the list of soldiers to come home. This means that he should be on the first rotation home. They are going to start pulling the important people out in mid-October and start pulling the rest out in November. It looks pretty promising that he will be home in November! Fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly!
