So much has happened the past few months, and I am terrible at keeping this up to date! I am making myself promise to try since so much will be changing in the coming months! Since it would be impossible (well...not impossible, but take forever) to update you since last August, I will start with this past March!!
My Mom decided she wanted to run/walk the Little Rock 5k, so Kyle, Josh and I decided to join in the "fun"!! And by "fun", I mean...let's get up at 6am to go jog in the cold with 1,000,000 other people who are way faster than you! That sounds "fun"!! I did end up having a great time and met some awesome people along the way! I'm not sure if I'll do one again, but I can at least say I have be in a 5k now....mark that off the bucket list!!
Kyle recently decided to pick back up his hobby of shooting, and what do you need in order to shot?? Oh yes...guns!! He purchased 2 new guns over the past few months. When we were up in NWA, he taught me how to shoot. I can't say I'm great, but I am not terrible!
He really wants me to enjoy this hobby with him, so to persuade me, he bought me a PINK P22 Walther! I had told him the only way I would own a gun is if it was pink, and he researched until he found this one! I suppose we will be having dates at the shooting range now! =)
As many of you know... we have a new home that we will be moving to in just ONE month!!
It is hard to believe it is so close, and what a ride it has already been!
Our new house we bought in beautiful Knoxville!
We went out on Spring Break to move one load and to have the fence installed (which I am IN LOVE WITH)!!! Here is a picture of us standing in front of it one evening while we were out there!!
The fence making its way up...the company was so detailed and did an amazing job!
We had to leave before they completed it, but the owner sent us a few pictures of the completed fence for us to see.
This is the view of the Smoky Mountains from our backyard! It is an amazing view and one I look forward to seeing everyday!!
Here are a few exciting things about Knoxville:
This is where Kyle will spend a lot of his time during our 5 years there....the University of Tennessee Medical Center!!
This is where I will spend a lot of my time during the next 2 years....the University of Tennessee! I just got accepted to their Graduate School for Educational Administration! I am super excited about the opportunities that will come from this! All of my classes will be online, so I will never actually go to the campus (which will be new and interesting for me)!
I also want to make sure to list my New Discoveries that come with our journey, so here are the ones I have so far:
1. Knoxville does not have Krogers! =(
2. There is a Target about 10 minutes from my house! =)
3. There is a huge Tanger Outlet (think Branson x3) only 30 minutes away!! =)
4. There are a million different restaurants to try!
5. I'm am to OCD to pack a house up...this will be my biggest struggle!
6. Leaving friends is going to be harder than I thought!
Kyle and I are definitely praying about this journey and asking for your prayers too! It is going to be so bittersweet!! I "promise" to try and keep this updated as much as I can over the next few months!!
Until next time...
