This weekend was a lot of fun. We went to one of my favorite places Pickwick Lake. I have been going to Pickwick since I was three years old. It is to me a place of so many memories, a get away from the world, and where I met my crazy husband. My parents have always had a boat there and in 2003 they finally purchased our cabin after MANY years of looking. When out on the lake you will find my friends and I either at the waterfall or Panther cove. This weekend Mike and Connor joined the Pickwick Parrothead club and we attempted to do a treasure hunt on the lake. We never completed it, but the journey was eventful. Once off the lake we usually try and make it to the local Freddy T's Beachclub (see pics below).
"Life's more fun when breaking the rules"
Many of you guys no how long Mike and I have been searching for our first house. Well, we had taken a break for the past few months due to alot of frustration. In the mean time Mike told me that I should go and look for a new car because a house would be a while. I was at a car dealership waiting on Mike when the salesman told me about these neighborhoods right off the interstate. We told them we would think about the car over the weekend and get back to them on Monday. On Sunday we found this beautiful house. This was the first house that both of us loved and it was affordable. The yard is 0.6 of an acre which is another great thing especially for our dogs. Most houses we were looking at had tiny yards. Everything about this house is us. We close August 22, 2008 and then we will be moving in asap. I am sooo excited to decorate and make it ours. It's a brand new home and we are so blessed that it all worked out. I have prayed often that we would find the right house. It was definitely a God thing :o). Big thanks to my parents for helping us with everything and the car salesman (haha). He was pretty bummed that he didn't sell a car. I can't wait for everyone to come and see it. I will post more pictures once we get settled in. Below is a picture of our Formal Dining room.
