Our House...Is a Very Very Very Fine House

Pictures from of our new house & moving in:

It's Been an Exciting Week

We finally sold our condo and are moving into a new house in Raintree Lake. We are very excited. The condo will close this Friday, the 21st, and we turn it over to the new buyer Sunday at 10:00 am. Steve's parents have kindly offered to let us, Keller & Marty stay with them for the week are living in home pergatory and move into our new home on November 28th. Our new address will be 4520 Admiral Byrd - Lee's Summit, MO - 64064

Here is a picture of our new place.

House warming party has tentatively been set for December 13th.

Early yesterday morning while Stephanie was on her way to the airport with Alison to visit Michelle in San Fransisco, Steve was walking into the woods at his dads farm for opening day of the 2008 deer season. Steve's brother, Jeff, shot a 10-point buck but was much smaller than the 8-point buck Steve shot. Here are some of the pictures.

Stephanie is in San Fransisco until she takes the red-eye flight home at midnight Monday. She sent me this picture last night of Ali & Michelle.

...and this one of her and Michelle this afternoon.

We went to see Coldplay at the Sprint Center Thursday night. It was a good show with some great production. Here is a picture with more to follow.

2008 Phi Sig Bird Hunt Reunion

This past weekend, Steve went bird hunting for the first time with his friends from Northwest. In all there were 9 guys that stayed in a log cabin in Grant City, MO at Timberview Sportsman. Hopefully we can make this an annual event.

Arkansas Winery's and Two Years Later

Today is our 2nd Anniversary. Since we are looking for a new home, we decided this year to save our money and not do a week-long vacation to a tropical paradise. Instead this past weekend, we made a short drive to Altus, Arkansas where there are 4 winery's. It isn't Hermann, but a fresh alternative.

We stayed in Eureka Springs, Arkansas on Saturday night. On Sunday, we went to Turpentine Creek, which is a sanctuary for Big Cats.

We finished our trip at the Onyx Cave. Steve was at this same cave with his family some 25 years ago.

One other piece of good news from the trip is about 15 minutes after Stephanie bought a statue of St. Joseph on eBay to bury upside down in our yard, we got a call from a realtor wanting to show our condo to a young guy for the second time! We are keeping our fingers crossed. It is down to our condo or 1 other and he will be making his offer to one of us in the next couple days.
