Who is in the pool fence?

The weather has reached that cool point where the leaves are beginning to change and it's just too stinkin cold to get in the water.  However, this morning when I walked out on our back deck to enjoy the crisp cool weather, I noticed that a furry friend had decided to jump the fence and check out the pool for himself.  The deer out here on our land are not in any way scared of humans.  I am sure that will be their downfall, but I truly love watching them.  No need to worry this little fellow nibbled a few bushes and then jumped back over the fence to join his friends.  

 

SOOOO Ready for Fall!!!

I had to drag out the fall decor today.  I am so ready for it to be the time of year when the leaves change and the weather cools down.  So I hoped that by bring out my fall decor it would make me feel more like fall.  Hope you enjoyed!

 

 

I know I have used this photo.  Using it again because we are in our new home.  So very thankful to be in Newnan GA again.  We closed on this house August 19, 2022.  It took about 2 weeks to get fully moved in.  We are mostly unpacked at this point in time.  Things are settling down.  Jackson began his Junior year of homeschool and got a job working at chicken salad chick.  Lindsey and Jonathan are both working for the same company so on the days my husband doesn't work from home they can carpool.  Allison is trying to get her background stuff processed to start working at an assisted living home.  

This whole process has been a new experience for us.  In purchasing this home we have left neighborhood living behind and moved to the country and a nice 6 acre lot of land.  Mostly wooded so we will be having some of the trees taken out and some grading done out front.  At some time in the future we would like to take out about 100 feet behind the house and have things leveled back there as welll.  Hopefully new pictures of the front will be coming soon.  

Right now the days are long and we are still enjoying mostly warm weather, but I know fall will come soon enough and we might just get some cool days.  For now we are working away at the property. 

Busy Life

 We close tomorrow on our forever home!  So the last few weeks have been unbelievably busy with packing and moving stuff around.  Today we are getting a uhaul trailer and packing it with things we don’t want the movers touching.  We will have a crazy weekend trying to get everything in order for the movers to come Monday but it will be fun also.  We are beyond excited and so thankful for all the Lords provisions during this time.  Pictures coming soon!!

Summer of Concerts - Halsey 2022

This summer we have seen more concerts than I have in a long time.  I am not sure if it is because attendance has been down or if people are still overly concerned about covid, or if the possibility of recession is why tickets to concerts that we have wanted to see have been so affordable.  We always choose the lawn tickets because we enjoy the ability to spread out a bit and stand or sit and still be able to see well. 

So, on June 30, 2022, the kids and I went to see Halsey in concert.  It was a great night really enjoyed the show until about 45 min into Halsey the clouds open up and the bottom falls out.  Lightning and thunder forced the show to stop.  After a while we were completely soaked and decided to go ahead and head out.  Of course, we needed to stop for some food at Waffle House before heading home.  Our concert might have gotten cut short, but we had lots of fun and laughter. 

AJR Concert

 

For Mother’s Day this year I was gifted concert tickets from my girls.  Allison gave me tickets to AJR.  Lindsey gave me tickets to see Train.these pictures are from Gayle and AJR.  it was hot but beautiful!

We had a great time and loved the music!  

Life changes 2022

 Our plans change as they so often do.  We took advantage of the market and sold our home earlier this year at a large enough profit to pay off all our debt and have a sizeable down payment for our next home.  We intended to rent a home and allow the market to cool down some before purchasing again.  We however have realized we are not rental people.  Various things have happened that I will not get into here but just know we have enjoyed the home we rented but are ready to move into something that we own and control the day to day of.  

That being said we went in search of our FOREVER home.  Our list of things was 2-10 acres of land, an outbuilding on the property (or space to put one), large enough for everyone, plenty of parking (since we have 5 cars and everyone drives), his and her closets, large master shower with bench, master bedroom and laundry room on same floor, and wish list item was a pool or space for one.  We looked at many houses and even made an offer on one and then changed our minds to find what we believe will be our FOREVER home.

So, we are planning Lord Willing to close on the 19th of August on a home we saw hours after it went on the market.  We were the first to see it and the first offer on the home and it has been accepted and we are packing again.  This time we are moving back to Newnan Georgia.  We have family in the area and are not too far from the rest of our family as well.  Below are pictures of our 6-bedroom 4 bath home on 5.98 acres and a pool.
