So you might have heard.....

We bought a house....yup we sure did!! Not in Missouri though, but back in Iowa!!! I know, total excitement right!?!? So we had talked and talked about it, about moving back to Iowa, but just never really followed through, until....we came across an acreage north of Akron (where Mom and Dad are living now) and thought that it would be a great place to live, raise Allison and any other kids that may come along the way.

We don't close until the 1st of October (Our 3rd wedding anniversary, i know, that's one heck of a anniversary gift!) However, not what I would like to be doing on our anniversary....would rather be going out to dinner or something of that sort.

So the packing process has begun...little by little I'm finding things that I didn't really know we had or remembered having it? I suppose that happens to everyone though? I can't believe how much stuff we have! Of course...MOST of it has a purpose....the other things...well I think I'm going to have a garage sale here in a month or so!

Chuck will continue working for Children's Mercy for the time being, until he gets his Paramedic certification. So he'll work his 2 shifts in KC and then be home Monday through Friday afternoon. Which will be nice.

I am planning on working for Dad at TJ's Country Store.....this will be my first real job since I was a Nanny almost 2 1/2 years ago! But I think it'll be nice to have some of my own time and let Allison play with her Daddy all day!

Allison will enjoy going to the Children's Center of Akron (their daycare) partime. Hopefully just Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays.....and she'll have tons of fun with Grandpa and Grandma! Since we'll only live like 5 to 10 minutes away from them. We'll also be not too far from Chuck's mom, Bonnie, who lives in Fonda. So that will make our weekend or weekday trips over to Fonda much easier...a big cut in travel time!

Well anyways, not much else to say....there are photos of the house and acreage on our Picasa Web Album...so just click the link that says "Our Photos" and you'll see them. Hope everyone is doing well and we will see most of you on the 23rd for Doug and Allie's Wedding!
