Hi, Out There, We're Back!!!


Our view from our deck! It so beats the view we had in Naples!


Hello from Soddy-Daisy, TN!

Well we have been up here now for almost 3 weeks. I really missed not having my computer. It didn't make the trip. Yesterday we got a new one so at least I am up and running again. We are all doing well. Scott leaves for work at 5:30 a.m. every morning but he's off at 2:30 so that is nice. Logan has made a new friend named Gio. He's a year older and they are together either here or his house down the street everyday. His parents have a garden so he's always bringing us fresh veggies! They are Florida transplants, too,from the east coast.
Jennifer has taken up with the neighbor girl who is fourteen. She loves playing with the girls and I've used her for babysitting already when I had to go to the DMV.
It definitely is different for us but in a good way. To get to our development you pass horses and cows and Meigan can say cow plain as day. Last week all the cows were up against the fence along side the road and we just stopped and talked to the cows. Could we do that in Naples?
Seriously, though the views up here are really beautiful and we have really fallen in love with our small town. There is a bigger town about 20 min away which has all the stores we're used to. Of course we've scoped out the mall a couple of times already.
The weather is absolutely perfect. Not too hot or too cold. We eat outside on the deck alot in the evenings.
Mom, Dad and Jennifer are in Gatlinburg this week until Fri. We will all be driving up to Ky. to celebrate Meigan's 3rd birthday on Sat. Will be nice to celebrate with lots of family as it is a bittersweet day as well. It can't be a coincidence that she shares that date with her uncle Matt's passing.
Something kinda strange today, too. I went and got my Tn. plate today. The only three numbers on the plate were 728. Believe it or not....

Now what are the odds of you getting a tag with 728 on it??? I was smiling and almost in tears as I read that part. As we know, there are no such things as coincidences...they are gifts from God. Your home is beautiful and I thought the view was from Gatlinburg. I am so happy for all of you. Congrats on everything.
