We're Moving!


It's official....we are moving! Our new house is only about 10 minutes away from our current house, but we are still excited!

Here are just a couple of reasons I'm excited for with the new house:
1. More bedrooms = more babies, right? :)
2. Neighbors! Zack has always said he could never live in town, so I've been forced to live in the middle of nowhere for the past 3 years. Our new house is the perfect mix! We have houses right next to us, but still have the wooded area so Zack can feel secluded.
3. No more terrible lane! Right now the lane to our house has been rated the top 10 worst in the Midwest. Not really, but it's that bad. No more getting snowed in...love it!

We probably won't actually move into the new house until spring, so we have time to get it all cleaned up and painted just the way we want it! Who wants to move in the winter anyway?!

My First Top Ten List

Top 10 Things That Happened Since I Last Blogged...
10. Grady started walking!
9. For Halloween Grady was a ladybug. We went trick-or-treating around the square in Williamsburg and at the Tanger Outlet Mall. Zack and I...I mean, Grady...ate a lot of candy over the next month!
8. We turned our computer room into a toy room. All of those toys have to go somewhere!
7. Football season came to an end. So nice to have a husband again!
6. We took a family vacation to Minneapolis over Thanksgiving. Our plan was to walk/run the Turkey Day 5K, but the freezing temperatures kept us from that (I can't say I was too disappointed...). Grady loved the Children's Museum and Aquarium!
5. My kindergarten class went from 20 to 17. What a blessing!
4. Zack and I took a trip to Myrtle Beach over New Years. We were gone for 3 nights...the longest I have ever been away from Grady! We had a great time even though it was colder there than in Iowa. :(
3. The first snow! Grady, Bruce, and I went sledding and had a blast. I also turned in my Jeep Compass for a more "snow-friendly" vehicle. Can't wait til spring to get it back!
2. Christmas! Although it was Grady's 2nd Christmas, she was a bit more active this year. She tore open presents and screamecd with excitement!
1. Grady turned 1 on 11.11.10!
