Big News!!

This week was a big week for us!! We traveled from Kentucky to New Jersey to meet up with my family and in the mean-time put an offer on a home in North Carolina.  It was sight-unseen for myself, but I trusted Ben because he had gone to look at it on his short day trip down there the week prior.  We offered low, they countered, and we accepted!  We close on May 19th, and we will soon own our third home!  This time in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina!  It's a bit overwhelming and very exciting!

Other big news, we officially rented both of our homes in Yuma, Arizona.  Now we no longer have to worry about those mortgages...at least for a year!  God is good!  Our trip to New Jersey was pretty perfect.  Besides the fact that while we were there we found ourselves surrounded by phenomenal company and amazing food, my family successfully pulled off a surprise bridal shower.  It was beautiful!  There were people there that I hadn't seen in years, and people that traveled from hundreds of miles to attend.  It was a truly special event!

My aunt and mom honestly knocked it out of the park! It was a beautiful party and it was complete with embarrassing photos, and line dancing.  I couldn't have been happier!  Thank you to EVERYONE who made it so amazing and special!! We love you!  

Ben and I left the next morning super early for North Carolina.  It was a super easy drive, and our trip was super easy!  We got down in plenty of time.  When we finally got to Ben's truck....

His tire was flat!  It wasn't so bad...we waited for a guy to fill it with air so he could go get it patched. Turned out he had a bolt and screw in it.  And they patched it for free!  We still were fortunate enough to go explore the beach and go out to a nice dinner before we met up with Katie and Peter Gibbons-Neff for a GOT watch party!! All in all it was a great night!  Today was our first day at the new job.  Ben and I both had a full day and we both enjoyed it.  It will take a bit of getting used to, and we're living in a hotel, so that's an adventure in itself.  We're having fun so far!!  Wish us luck!
