In July of 2010 we moved from our home in Burleson, where we lived for 7 years, with all of our friends and our church that we loved so much to move to the country. This has always been something that we wanted to do. We wanted to move away fromt he city and have land for the kids to roam and explore. To raise animals and plant a garden and learn together what it was like to be simple. Well.....so far it's been nothing but simple!! :) The first few months were very hard to adjust to. The kids missed their friends and I missed mine. We missed the convineces of getting in the car and picking a gallon of milk and being back home in 10 minutes. It take 20 minutes on a good day just to get to town. While Chris stayed in his routine of working we were out in the middle of nowhere and we didn't know anyone but GG, Papaw, & Uncle Perry. When the kids started school it was culture shock we went from 100 kids in one grade to 217 kids in the whole school pre-k through 8th! Weston has 12 kids in his class, Rawley has 21 and Brazos has 22 or so in his. Not to mention Braz had gone to school with the same kids since kindergarten. It was hardest on him, finding his place and new friends. Now with only 10 weeks left of school the kids have their friends and things are easier for them.

| The house when the deck was bring built |
At first all we did was work outside, we moved the house out here and built on a covered deck that spend alot of time on. Cleaning the yard, putting up fence, picking grapes, picking plums, clearing brush, mowing, etc....was all new & hard work but we did it and we love the time spent together. We are all learning because this is all new to us all. I now know that this is where we are suppose to be and I thank God for placing us here. Some days are still hard and I miss my friend but I know that I can pick up the phone and hear their voices.
