Well, we're all moved. Now its just time for adding our personal touches to the house. So far Trixie and Elvis LOVE living in town. Its so cute because when Trixie hears a car or people, she'll run over to the screen door (at the front of the house), then stand there and watch whatever is going on outside. Her tail just wags while she watches the world go by. Today was real cute. I walked out the front door to leave for work. She automatically came to the door and watched me walk out to my car. Then, while I was climbing in to the car, she realized I was leaving and started crying...I felt like a Mom leaving her kids at home. She's also been sleeping with me lately and I love it because now I actually have someone to cuddle with. Last night I fell asleep with her asleep in my arms. She's so sweet...such a great dog. Now my baby is going to turn 1 this month...June 21st. I think we're actually going to make her a cake and buy her presents too...it really is like she's a kid. Definitely my baby...Sorry, I got a little sidetracked. Back to the house stuff. So now that we're living in town again Amanda and Kristina are taking the dogs for a walk at least once a day...which is not only good for the dogs, but good for them. If I wasn't in so much pain after work I would take them for a walk too. I'll definitely try to on my days off. So far we don't have air conditioning but we have Muskegon Lake a couple blocks away in one direction and another small "lake" a block away in the opposite direction...so we get a nice breezeway through the house. A couple down sides about living in this house are that I'm now 24 miles away from work instead of 12 and we only have one small bathroom for the six of us. But we'll get through. Actually the drive home from work isn't bad...Friday night was a beautiful night to drive home...it was cool outside, not real dark, and there was almost no cars on the road...I loved it. Hmm, what else? Oh, Amanda and Kristina are thinking about going to North Muskegon High School next year...I know Kristina definitely is and her reasons are simple...Amanda on the other hand, her reasons include the idea that going to a smaller school would make it look like she excels more with her grades, which would look better on a college application...She just amazes me. And last but not least, I leave for Texas next Thursday and I'm definitely excited. Other than that, not much is new.
