home

i figured that it's probably time i write something about our new home - not just meaning the house we live in. we love it - both our house and oklahoma. i was asked recently if tulsa felt like home to me. after thinking about it for just a minute, i realized that it didn't ever not feel like home. after spencer left with the moving truck and all of our stuff, i couldn't wait to join him. when i get nervous/excited i tend to talk a lot. i tend to talk a lot on a normal basis, so when i get nervous/excited, you can only imagine what it's like. you'll have to ask my mother-in-law what it was like the couple of days we had before we flew out to join spencer and his dad.

i’m grateful to be in such a great place. it’s definitely hot and humid, but we’re starting to get used to that. we got here during the hottest time of year, so at least it will only get better! at least until next august.

we have absolutely wonderful neighbors. midge and betty on one side and bob and wilma on the other. very nice people who already love our boys!

yesterday was a really good day in terms of getting the house to feel more like ours. we got our piano and i got my spoon collection out and we hung those up above the piano. i also finally hung up all of our framed pictures in our family room. i had been wanting to do that for a really long time. i love pictures. i don’t know exactly what it is, but i can sit and look at family pictures for a long time. i just love looking at everyone who means so much to us. needless to say, having our family pictures up on our wall makes it feel so much more like home.

the gist of things is that things are going really well and we love it here.
