New Home

We successfully moved into our new home in Vacaville. Things I love about being in this home.

A backyard! The first morning, Michaela woke up and said, "Can I go and play at the park?" And we all looked at each other and said, "Park? What Park?" She stood up and pointed to our backyard! Yes--go play at the park everyday, anytime you want!

A garage! I love lifting the garage door and putting our van, Jason, inside safe and sound. It also makes coming in and out of the car, unloading groceries, and everything else so much easier.

Hardwood floors. I think I remember saying after living in on-campus housing for years with linoleum squares, that I would never want to have a hardwood floor because they are such trouble to stay clean. Ha! I LOVE how it shines after I clean the floors.

Awesome bathrooms. I love cleaning these bathrooms. They have been remodeled, as well as the kitchen, and are a pleasure to be in--5 minutes peace feels like an eternity of luxury.

The kitchen. I feel inspired to cook something new and tasty when I enter the kitchen.

Watching the kids run outside in the sprinklers every night at 7pm to defeat "The Gremloch". They go in their clothes, swimsuits, whatever they have on and fight "The Gremloch" with the tunnel shield they call Anaxa that they say is a dragon--the only thing that can defend "The Gremloch."

Everything. Living close to EVERYTHING. Winco, Costco, Grocery Outlet, THE Outlets, church, school, parks, etc.

Having Randy home for dinner everynight!

Who knew Vacaville?

I miss you SO MUCH, Stephanie, but I'm glad that things are going so well for you guys.

Life has been crazy lately and I haven't been going to Winco, but I'm due for a trip soon! I'll see if we can get together.

It's fun to read your blog!
