Moving Weekend Part 2 & "closing day"...posted months later....

Well friends....it was a bittersweet weekend at Priddy Ranch and Priddy Ranch 2 -this is what I call the Sallee home - I have to name them, because I kind of have 2 homes currently.  You see, we were supposed to close on the Sallee House today.  On one hand I am so thankful we get to spend another Christmas in our first home....on the other, we are spending another month in our home.....listing again, painting, updating, and ready for showing EVERYDAY.  There could be worse things, I could be sick, I could be homeless, I could be hungry, things could be all together worse but they aren't.  I am blessed with a roof over my head, a warm bed, we get to spend our 6th Christmas together in our first home, and it's 6:40 PM on a Monday night and I have my feet up blogging.  I should be packing, cleaning, decorating, or even doing push ups, but instead I am enjoying every minute of the life God has blessed me with and sharing my story with all of you!

Since my last post, we have been to a ring dunk in College Station, proud to say Landon, my brother, won his dunk....yes, in a strange way we are proud of this accomplishment....he gets it from my Mother!  We celebrated Thanksgiving on the Ranch and moved home my Christmas decorations to "stage" the house.  Don't tell Matt but I am sure that 2 (actual and 4 possible) Christmas trees and 4 Christmas boxes were not necessarily needed for the "staging" of the home but THIS GIRL NEEDED THEM (and I am sad I left some in the sea containers)!

Who knows what else happened this eventful week in November...it's February and I just found this saved draft...so you are welcome and stay tuned.....

A blog, well why not?!?!

        While driving to town last weekend, my husband mentioned, "you need to start a blog.".  First of all, how does he know what a blog is???  This man who didn't even know what a smart phone was until we rekindled our love in 2009 (a story to come later).....how does HE know what a blog is?????  Either way, he may be right....don't ever let him know I admitted that!  So what better time than now to start a blog....I only work full time, take care of 3 cats and our beloved dog, Duke, we are moving in with my parents in less than 3 weeks, building a home on Priddy Ranch, my cousin Lucas is getting married in 3 weeks, and my best friend and seester is getting married in 5 months..sure, I have time for this!          I think in an initial blog post I am supposed to introduce myself.....I am first and foremost a Christian and complete lover of Jesus Christ, I am 29, a physical therapist, a dog-mom, an accidental cat-mom...

The Great Move Part 1

     As you all know, I am moving...well it all started this weekend with a 4:45 AM wake up call on Saturday morning.  No, we usually don't get up at that hour on a Saturday but this weekend called for weaning calves and packing boxes....clearly our lives will always and forever more be dictated by the needs of bovines!  Who doesn't want to "mooooo" right now, just me?         Ok, well, our day started with Matt heading to Talpa to "play" with calves and angry Momma's and my day was all about wrapping, packing, and labeling.  You see, that girl that used to pout when having to go work cows with the family is now the girl that is downright upset when she doesn't get to go to the ranch.  A good visit with my Mother-in-law and watching my husband and Father-in-law do what most men dream of doing is the best way to spend a weekend, in my opinion.  As if moving isn't bad enough, I had to miss an always enjoyable time at th...

The Red Couch....

      Moving became real this weekend, not when all my boxes were loaded on the truck, not when my house was covered in tape and dust, and the shop was a mess....nope, it was real when we moved out the "red couch".    You see, the "red couch"....it has been with me everywhere since I moved out of my childhood home in April of 2005.  That couch moved into my first apartment with my two best girlfriends, Shauna and Brooke, who both have the most beautiful 1 year olds now...how did that happen?  Opps, I digress.  So back to the couch, it was my first official "big girl" purchase and it has moved from Bentwood to Lubbock to Mertzon, and now to a sea container in Talpa, Texas!        I thought I was the only one so attached to my red couch, until this weekend.  Duke has been very confused during this packing and moving process but quietly sat back and let it happen until the RED COUCH was moved outside to the trailer! ...
