We are moved in!!!!

Hi everyone! So i woke up this morning in my new house!!! PJ worked so hard yesterday at getting all of our stuff moved in, he was def a rock star!!!! I am so thanking him today! Anyways I did promise pictures of the house and really am planning on taking some this weekend :) PJ's family is coming up this evening after work to see the house. Oh... and they are bringing the baby furniture!!!! We are borrowing a very nice crib and changing table from Tyler, PJ's older brother. (THANKS TYLER!!!!!) So that will be in the baby's room tonight! We will not start decorating until we know the sex of the baby though. Speaking of baby... we have our next appointment in 5 days!!!! I am so so so so so so so so excited. I can not tell you how fun it is to go to the doctor these days :) I thought I would never say that! We will not get a sonogram this time but hopefully we will get to hear that amazing little heartbeat again! I get so excited even just thinking about it... it is truly one of those things that is so amazing words do not even come close to explaining. Make me smile, i guess is the simplest way :) Live simply, love much and laugh plenty! :)
OH i almost forgot to tell you about my gardening too!!! So I decided in my attempt to become more domesticated I would lend my hand to gardening this year! Well there is good news and bad news at the start of the season. . . we will start with the many positives.
1. At our new house there is a perfect spot for a veggie patch (garden). The bed is right next to our little patio in the backyard. It is the perfect size for a little beginner garden! (Not sure exact measurements but you get the point :)) It has a little stone border like there was a flower bed there before. I will have to put up some fencing for the dogs and any other little critter that will be eyeing my plants!
2. My dad and I planted some seeds... and they have sprouted!!!! So now i get to watch the miracle of life in more way then one :) (a little corny i know, but its still so fun!) I told my girlfriends I never thought i would be so excited about seeing little sprouts! We planted cucumbers and cantaloupe as well as a couple different kinds of daisies and zinnias. I love both of those flowers because the make great cutting flowers, bright flowers and beautiful thick green stems & foliage! We have other seeds to plant which are green beans, beets, spinach and i feel like i am forgetting one more... Oh I also want to get some herbs and maybe some watermelon and pumpkins. I might be biting off more then I can chew with this one! We also go the baby plants of tomatoes and peppers ( the staples in a Cusick garden)
Now to the bad news... IT HAS BEEN TO WET TO GET ANY OF THIS INTO THE ACTUAL GROUND! It will not stop raining here! And from what i hear it sounds like it will continue for another week or so! Hopefully sooner then later I will be able to get these plants in the ground! And when I say I, I mean my dad and me:) That is another reason why i really wanted to start a garden. I remember as a little girl how my dad would be out in the garden and my sister and i would go help/pretend to help or just be playing out there while he worked away at it:) I thought with the baby coming this might be something special for me and him/her to share. If you know the Cusick side of this newly started family you would know that they have an appreciation for mother earth that is above and beyond! I would have nothing less then to pass this onto our little one... once again one of those little things i just can not put into words because it is so special to me . Ok I have teared up twice now! I think i should stop before i start actually crying at work! We hope you all are doing well and send all of our love!
Happy Spring & Friday!
Katie, PJ & Baby (Little alien)

  1. Admittedly I teared up. Those little seedlings will get in the ground one way or another and grow up to be big and strong. Happy spring to you as well. Love Heb and Beth
