Red Sox catch up with the Tamp Bay Rays

I don't know how they did it, but they did! The Red Sox came back and our now tied 3-3 with the Tampa Bay Rays, the game tonight on TBS will determine who goes on to play in the World Series. Last year the Red Sox won the WS and I know my Hubby and I would like to see that happen again.
We are HUGE Red Sox fans here and have been to several games over the last 2 years! Over the summer we were able to take Izzy to her first game. She was a very good girl and we all had a great time.

I am crossing my fingers that they pull it off tonight!! Go Red Sox!!!

New England is Beautiful in the Fall

My husband is a soccer referee, so we have had a great privilege of driving all over New England going to different soccer games. Today we were up bright and early, we had to leave our house by 8:30 to make the hour long trip to Wilton, NH. Our first game was at 10am and it was freezing cold. When we left the house this morning there was frost all over the ground and our car windows...brrrr...
I mostly stayed in the car with the kiddos for the first game, we listened to stories on tape and the kids snacked on breakfast for awhile. The 2nd game was right down the road at a very nice prep school (boarding school). They had a Beautiful campus and I was able to take some really nice pictures of the kids playing in the leaves, of course my kiddos are Beautiful so it's not that hard to get some really great shots of them. It was a pretty stress free Saturday though, and that's all I can ask for!

Boxes, Boxes, Everywhere!!

Our house is a mess, I mean literally a mess. We are packing daily, and there are boxes in every nook and cranny. I am not a clutter person, I like things in there space....so this is a major challenge for me. I know it's for a good cause..haha...but the process of getting there is challenging!!
The house we are moving into in Ky is not finished yet and won't be when we get there, so the challenge will continue as I try and live out of boxes and tubs till we finally have a home again.


This pictures pretty much sum up our living space at the moment, my daughter Isabelle is standing in front of a mountain of boxes!

A New Beginning...Again....

A new Beginning again for us, who knew that when we moved up here to NH 2 years ago it would be a short stay. I guess everything happens for a reason, I learned my lesson that the grass really isn't always greener on the other side.
2 weeks from today we will be loading our budget truck and moving back to my hometown in KY. I have been living here in the granite state for 2 years. I have to say it has been a bittersweet time for us. It is a BEAUTIFUL area of the country, especially this time of year. The Fall foliage is vibrant right now, and at times it looks like the side of the road is on fire.
Once fall has come and gone though and winter shows its ugly teeth here you are in for a very LONG ride. Last year we got over 100 inches of snow!! I had never seen so much snow in my life. Our son Garrett loved it, his sister Isabelle was much too small last winter to even know what snow was. It starts around the end of November and drags on until APRIL....I kid you not.....
It is a beautiful sight nonetheless, just a little annoying after months and months of not really being able to go outside with the kids. The other down side is it gets dark at 4:30 during the winter months, try taking care of a 5 year old who has more energy then he knows what to do with indoors for 5 months.
Another key issue is that ALL my family is in Ky, including my 2 younger sisters. I have missed them soo much, it will be wonderful having then back in my life full time. I feel like I have missed out on so much, it has been rough for me up here in NH. I don't think it was intentional by anyone, but I have never really felt like I fit in with this area. Living in the North is definitely different then living in the South I don't know maybe I am paranoid, or maybe I am trying to make excuses as to why I have missed my family so much. Either way, in just a few days we will be loading our truck and hitting the road.
Aside from the Beauty that the New England area is, we are moving back to my Southern Home and I couldn't be happier!
