Mamoo's Country Cottage

Mamoo's house is almost finished! My Dad and Chad have been working so hard in this hot summer heat to make sure she has a wonderful new place to call home. She finally moved on Monday, and I drove in to help her for a few nights. We got everything put away and cleaned up. I told her I knew where we put everything, so if she forgot she'd have a back up! She seems really happy here, and I think she's going to love it. She told me this morning that she had some early morning visitors - the turkeys. They came up on her front porch and were looking through the glass screen door into her living room. The only thing missing from these pictures is her sitting on her front porch! She just reclined in the chair, but I thought you all would enjoy seeing her new place.

Her cute little kitchen that I'm sure will be cooking up some good stuff soon

Bath...Chad and Dad hung an extra storage cabinet over her toilet and one on the wall as you enter.

First Annual Couples Trip

Last weekend we met up with some of our college friends, who are all married now too! We booked a house in early Spring for all of us to get together and hang out in Wimberley. We saw some picture of the house on the internet, and it looked pretty, but I think we were all surprised at how nice it really was when we got there in person. We really had an awesome time with everyone and just picked up where we left off last time we were all together. There was so much to do at the house that we never had to leave...some of us didn't all weekend long! The guys floated the river on Saturday and some of the girls went shopping at the outlet mall nearby but other than that we were there all weekend long. Everyone brought food and two couples cooked each night...it was a blast and I'm sure we'll do it again! Our group note in the guest book at the house before we left on Sunday
