So we finally have news to report...the dirt has been moved and our lot is now staked. Our sales person says that it's pretty much any day now for when they'll actually break ground. There's such great anticipation. We were able to meet a couple of our neighbors and we're excited to move into the neighborhood. Now all we have to do is wait until the beginning of next year to move in.

We celebrated Tracie's birthday this past week with a 5 course dinner at Maggiano's. It's an Italian restaurant and has wonderful food. Tracie was in heaven. Calamari was her favorite. Tracie would also like to thank everyone for their birthday wishes. Although she was not looking forward to turning 24, hearing from everyone made her day.
