Digging

Well, we're finally moved, and I think we're pretty settled. I would talk some about the actual move itself, but I think all of youi will find it kinda' boring. So, I will spare you of that. :)

The really cool thing is that now I can post PICTURES! I know. Awesome, right? I think I havbe it all figured out now. And good thing too, because I was getting tired of just talking. And yeah, I know that there are some of you who know me personally out there who are going, "What?!? Kayla get tired of TALKING? Is she crazy???" Well, maybe. :D

We spent quite a bit of the past week digging a fire pit next to the house. And man oh man is it huge! I decided to take a break really quickly and grab my phone to snap a few pictures. Enjoy!

 

Ok, so this has absolutely nothing to do with the fire pit, I just was walking outside with the camera and was Serina staring out the window. And since she doesn't make it on this blog very much, I thought I should take a picture of her. :)

 

Yeah, I know it's not the greatest smile, but I think as she was looking up at me she was looking right into the sun.

 

 

Midair shots!

Here's the handle of the shovel I was using. I have to wonder what made it green...

 

The wall around the pit

 

It's not quite done yet, but it's pretty close, so when it is done I'll get a picture and put it on here too.

 

And then I have 2 posts lined up. One about my sleepover this week and one about our church service last Saturday. So be looking for those!

Tomorrow....

...Is the day. The day we're moving. You know, even though I know it's so close, it still seems... unreal. I mean, so many times we've said we're going to move. So many times we've taken loads of stuff down there.  In fact, we started to move last May, (2011) but it did't work out. But this time, it really is for real. I believe we've taken about 4 or 5 big loads of stuff down already, plus we've taken a bunch of furniture. Right now while I'm working on this post I'm also listening to Pandora while I pack up the pantry. I'm just leaving stuff that we may use for either dinner tonight or tomorrow or breakfast tomorrow. It's looking VERY empty. Frankly, so is our whole house. My room did look like a hurrican went through it, but now there's barely anything in there. It's really wierd. I'm still not sure that I can wrap my head around it. It's been 5. whole. years since we first bought the house. 5. When we first got the house we figured it would be about 5 or 6 years, but we had different plans then. You see, the house that was there, we were going to just fix it up really quick (yeah, right!) and then build another house for us to live in. Well, that idea got quickly thrown out the window. So then we took it down to about 3 years before we moved in. And year #3 came along. And then #4. And now #5. And we're FINALLY moving! I'm really excited about it.

The only thing about it is that... The week that we need to spend lots of time here packing and getting ready, we're really busy. I think we had something on Monday, but I can't remember what it is. Tuesday Hannah had an orthodontist appointment, (she got her braces off last week, and this week she was getting her retainer) yesterday we had voice and Mom had a doctor's appointment, and today we have violin and piano. Mom, David and Annabeth are actually at the farm right now umpacking stuff, so my grandma will be here in about 10 minutes to pick us up and take us. It's really, really nice that the place that Hannah and I take our violin lessons and the place that Jonathan and Sarah take their piano lessons are only like 3 blocks away from eachother. And they're at the same time. So Mom drops Hannah and I off at the music school, drives the rest of them over to the MacDonald's house, (Mrs. MacDonald is their piano teacher) waits, with them, and then at 1:00 comes and gets us and takes us back to their house, where we wait for whoever is having their lesson to finish. It's a lot of fun. So anyway, Nana is taking the place of Mom today. :) Oh yeah! And Tuesday night we went to my grandma's house for dinner. Pot roast. Yum! I love going to Nana's house for dinner. :)

Ok, that's all I'm going to say right now, because I have to finish getting ready to go. I'll try and post more later today. If not then.... Then it may be a couple of days. :)

Adios!
