250 Staion Rd. Beech Bluff, TN 38313

We are finally together once again as a family. Here are the details of adventure.....

We left Tuesday June 3, 2008 from Brigham City, Utah. This was a sad moment for all of us, or maybe just me as I was the only one who cried as we said bye to Jana and Karla (Joe's sisters) and Aunt Lucile. Oh we can't forget the dogs.....Harley, Izzy and Beau. (Bella has been pouting since we left. Her buddies are gone!)

We drove about 650 miles that first day and ended up in Ogalala (sp), NE. Let me tell you by the time we got there, we were more than ready to get out. Jade and I rode with Joe's parents, and Justin and Shaunee rode with Joe in the moving truck. Joe's dad got Jade to say "Enough Daddy." Wasn't that the truth, we had had enough.

Wednesday June 4th 2008 we left Ogalala, NE and drove over 600 miles again and stayed in Kingdom City, MO. For all you David Cook fans.........we drove right by his home town of Blue Springs, MO. "Go Cookie"

While we were waiting for Joe and his dad to check into our hotel, Jade and I found a huge snapping turtle in the parking lot and went to check it out. ( Sorry no pictures) Jade was all excited and wasn't afraid of it at all.

Thursday June 5th 2008 we left Kingdom City, MO and drove around 320 miles to Beech Bluff, TN. Yea we made it!!!!!!!

Well here are some pictures of our house and property (2acres)


The front of our house.




Our property goes all the way to the trees.



The road to our house.









Okay, this is how much we love all of you!!!!!! The big satellite is so we can have internet to stay in touch with all of you as we literally live in the sticks. LOL


This is called Queen Ann's Lace. It is a weed that grows around here ......Very pretty for a weed.

It is very hot here, well I guess not really hot but with the humidity it feels hot. You go outside and within a short amount of time you are soaked. LOL We have had to take our food storage out of the garage and store it in our clothes closet and it gets over 90 degrees in the garage. Out here I guess they don't believe in pantries......How do us Mormon women survive with no pantry LOL. We turned a closet into a pantry, it's not as big as we would like, but it works.

We love and miss all of you! Please keep in touch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
