My life is currently surrounded by them! But I am getting rid of soooooooo many things, it feels great to be free of some of this stuff! Anxious, excited, overjoyed, and a little nervous are just a few of the daily emotions I'm going through. Ultimately this is all really freakin GREAT, oh, and did I mention how excited Stella is?!?! SO HaPpY , and SO GrAtEfUl ! Much Love!

Made by Troy! Much love and gratitude!

I know I've said this many, MANY times but can you believe it?!? She is growing up soooooooo fast! Whew! Lovin this little girl!!!! We had a BBQ tonight to celebrate Stella's birthday (now that we're all back home).....so blessed to be this little ones mama! With love and gratitude!

Finally home with the lil monkey and now, we try to start figuring out what to take on move to the east coast. It's a little overwhelming to try and pack up an entire house but we're up to the challenge. I guess it's not really the packing of the house it's more the moving it to the east coast and the logistics of that, that have me a bit frazzled at the moment. Lovin this life! Lots of pictures to post of Stella's adventures in Euroland and my trip to Oregon. Will get to that soon, I promise. But first, laundry, cleaning the house and a little afternoon BBQ to celebrate Stella's birthday! Woo hoo !! Sending out MUCH love!!!!!

Mostly complete. Stella's bathroom is finally done. There are still a few minor touch ups but for the most part, complete! It's not the bathroom that I had envisioned and had Stella and I planned to stay at the house and not move I would have done it a little differently BUT considering we only dropped a few bills on it, I think it looks KICK-ASS compared to what it was. Hopefully Stella likes it when she gets home from Euroland .... Before: and, AFTER! Recycled cabinets that i still may strip and re-stain once I get home from Hood but all in all it looks awesome! And.....we're off (again)! Heading to Hood tomorrow! Bags are packed and amazingly I got them both at 49lbs, hopefully my scale is right. I hate shifting thing from bag to bag at the airport (pet-peeve)and I've had to do it more then I'd like to admit , I always seem to be just a little over.... grrrrr ! Had a nice long Skype date with mom and Stella yesterday and they are having an amazi...

Arrived home from Texas last night and as great as it is to be back home, there is a little piece of me that stayed in Texas. The dock at Palacous. What an incredible place. Time and space seem to stop here. Picture of a picture from the ranch. What else do you do in Texas? Made a little friend on the coast. We found some pretty cool things along the miles of private beach we had all to ourselves. After a week of traveling from Austin to the Ranch to the coast and then onto Houston and as incredible as all those places where, Palacous and the coast was by far my favorite spot. This was our house with miles and miles of no one around. Private beaches, lots of sunshine, reading, relaxing, and taking it all in.....BLISS!!! Love! Now, home for a few days and off to Hood on Sunday for 10 days of skiing. Stella and mom are having an incredible time in Euroland and I can't tell you how much I'm missing the bugger. Slowly prepping the house to turn into a renta...

We arrived in Texas two days ago and I still haven't gotten use to the heat...don't think I ever will but besides the heat it's been a kick ass trip so far. We're currently sitting in a little coffee shop in a little town called La Grange (where the ranch is), The ranch is about an hour outside of Austin, and sits on 2800 acres, it's huge to say the least and it has the coolest cows. You can walk right up to them and I swear these things will look at you and just keep on chewing their hay. We made a little discovery yesterday about 1 mile from the ranch on the road into town. A Czech culture center!!! We stopped in this morning and it wasn't open till 10am so we'll check it out on the way back into the ranch. Apparently Texas has a few HUGE Czech communities, Who knew?!?! Anyways, I'm off to explore more of Texas, Huston tomorrow to visit Troy's grandmother and then on to the coast to Palacios . Pictures to come. Sending out much Love!!! p.s. An upd...
