Our NEW House

I owe a lot of "thank yous" to those who have made it possible for us to have our very own house. First, I would like to thank the Fraziers for needing to move at the exact same time we needed to buy a house.

I would like to thank the bank for loaning us huge sums of money- even though on paper we're unemployed w/ massive student loans to pay back :0)

I would like to thank everyone who sells their stuff on craigslist, ebay and at garage sales. You have made it possible for us to have furniture!

Finally, I would like to thank my parents for having a huge shop building that never really turned into anything other than an over-sized storage unit. B/c of you, I was able to find all kinds of furniture to "re-purpose". Again, without you, it wouldn't be possible to have furniture. :0)

Backyard and Living room

We even have a waterfall!

Our back deck

Someday I'll put a better picture of our living room on. Probably when I get some things hung up on the walls... wonder when that will be....

Our NEW House!

No Camera = No Pictures

Okay everyone,
In response to several comments, YES! I know our blog needs to be updated, BUT, our camera didn't survive our last move and I don't get very excited about reading long blog posts w/out pictures. So, here's the Tanners in a nutshell: In August we moved from Memphis to Grand Junction, CO for Bryce's optometry externship.

In January we moved to Albuquerque, NM for his second externship rotation and in a few more weeks Bryce will be back in Memphis for GRADUATION!

We will be moving to Cortez, CO where Bryce has a job waiting for him. Yay!

All I can say is it's a darn good thing that a Mary Kay business is portable! All of you students out there understand how the end of a semester feels- not much loan money left! Thank heavens my MK money is buying our groceries and paying our bills!

Among other news... we are expecting baby #2 in June. Right now I'm feeling good and have energy- which is a nice change! (Especially b/c I'll be getting things packed up and moved AGAIN in a few weeks!)

Okay, that's everything. Might not be any more posts until I figure out the camera problem!

Hugs from Albuquerque!
