My Brown Eyed Girl!

Hey All,

First, the cutest picture ever!

And now, on to the update. On Friday, May 23rd our escrow closed and so we are now the proud owners of 1944 Stagecoach Place, Tulare, CA 93274. Larry, Courtney's dad, works at an appliance place and his work graciously donated our fridge and Courtney's parents bought us a washer and dryer. Courtney utilized the Memorial Day sales and purchased couches for our home and is going to check out a couple of really good deals on other furniture on Monday. Also, we have officially lost one member of our family... and added two more.

Courtney's new car is a 2005 Mazda3 Hatchback and it is very nice. My new car is a 2003 Toyota Rav4 and I love it. Both get amazing gas mileage and both have (or had) under 34,000 miles. They are great vehicles (Consumer reports Best Buys) and get great gas mileage. So we are pretty stoked.

Other than that, I am back in Wyoming to finish my contract and Courtney is in Tulare getting everything ready for us. She starts work on June 2nd and I will be moving back down on June 14th.

Oh, and Courtney has the camera so the blog might be a bit short on pics for awhile!

But here are some more pics!

Update

Well, the results of our poll are in and what do you know... HECK YES won! Not that it really mattered because it isn't going to change our minds whether you want us to get a GD or not!

That being said we are on the home stretch here in WY. Courtney and Maddie are flying to CA for good on Tuesday and I am following the next day in the truck. We have a very nice sized uhaul that we are packing (ehm, I am packing... ok, actually Jose and James have been packing).

Yesterday Courtney got pinned as a nurse and is officially ready to take the RN nursing test (she took a test that tells you chances of passing that RN test and she has a 92% chance of passing it on the first try). She starts working on June 1st.

Other than that we are going to be very busy for a while now and the next time I post might not be for another week or so because I will be driving down to CA and back up and while in CA Courtney and I will be rushing here and there trying to get things in order (eg. Drivers Licenses, Vehicle Registration, Job Interview, etc).

So I will see you when I see you!

Dog, Dog, Dog

So, the results of our poll are in... with the winner being a Chihuahua. Well, if you picked that breed you are probably going to be disappointed. We are going to go the opposite of a Chihuahua... if you chose other, you would be correct (of course no one actually wrote the name) but we are going with other.

Our first family dog shall be... a Great Dane!!!! We are planning on rescuing a Great Dane from a Big Breed rescue and having him/her guard over our family!

To give you an idea of the size of a Great Dane, check out the pic below (with a Chihuahua mix)!

Peaches look out!!
