If you are wondering why I never update the blog anymore, it is because we have moved! We are now officially living in "Hill Country." I thought that living in Childress was pretty much living in the middle of nowhere, but I was wrong! We now live in a town with no stoplights, no fast food restaurants, one tiny grocery store (where milk is about $5), and one gas station. Population: 704. We have to drive 45 min to get to Walmart, church, hospital, you name it. And I am too cheap to fork over the money for internet (it'll be more than double what I paid in Childress). So here I sit at the library with my kids pulling books off the shelf while I enjoy what little time I have connected to the real world. :)
I know. It sounds like I am complaining. It's really not that bad. We have actually really enjoyed our time here so far. And we have done lots of fun things. I've made some friends and they treated us out to a multimillion dollar ranch where the kids got to go swimming and play on a playground made by the people who made the sets for Pirates of the Caribbean. So yeah. Pretty cool. Couldn't have done that in Childress. We are renting which sounds like a down side to living here, but I am LOVING it! Because that means no living in a construction zone!!!! The shower head pops off...call the landlord! The hot water not working...call the landlord! I say that until rent collection time when I cannot believe how much more it costs for us to rent than to pay TWO mortgages!
There are deer everywhere, and Brock is really looking forward to shooting one. He has set up a feeder in our "backyard" (we live on 18 acres). It's been great until last night when Tyce broke Daddy's binoculars. Sad day for Daddy.
But yes, we are loving it. We do miss all of our family and friends in Childress though! Sorry about the rambling. Like I said, no internet at home. Makes people go crazy. :) haha!

I can't believe you don't have internet! You better call me if you start to go crazy. I am glad you are liking your new place, though!
I am glad that all is well. We have been thinking about you guys! Hope that all continues to go well as the school year approaches. Call if you ever need to!
OH NO!!! how did Tyce break them!? and how long did it take to put the library back together after you got off the computer? =) love ya'll!
Wow, I can't even imagine more country than Childress. You are a real woman! We are sure missing having you nearby....Avery keeps asking for Brek!
