Starting the Work

We have officially started the work on our property! I'm so excited! We hadn't been back out there since we decided which one we wanted to buy before Thanksgiving!

We have SO many ideas, plans, goals, lists for this property that it seems overwhelming when looking at it all. We have to start somewhere and clearing land in freezing temperatures is as good as any.


Hubby works a construction job that keeps him home on cold days, snowy days, and here in OK icy days. During these winter months he doesn't get weekends off he gets whichever days are cold which means that we can only work on our property during those cold days. Finally we had a cold day here that wasn't too cold and we were bored so we figured we would head out and talk through our plans again and make sure that we were clear on where we wanted the house so we could plan where we want the well and septic to go. Of course we can only say where we would like them to go. We have to get a company or two out there to tell us whether we could actually put it where we want.

So first things first clearing the dead tress and leaves from the main area we want to work in. Hubby headed to the hardware store today to get a chainsaw, ax and wheelbarrow. I headed to the opposite side of town to get my very first pair of boots! How exciting! I've wanted boots since I was a teen. I always wanted to be a country girl but lived in the city and it never felt right to wear country clothes. Now I can!


We got a pretty good start too! Hubby was dragging in the large fallen trees, limbs and anything else we could burn and I was breaking them down and feeding the fire. Monkey was helping with each of us at different times but was really enjoying just running around. Goose on the other hand was having fun one minute and then crying the next. The poor guy's little hands were getting cold so fast that he just couldn't stay warm long enough to have fun. He spent a lot of time in the truck this first trip. We now have his gloves packed in our property bag even though he won't be able to do much work with them. For now he can just run around and play. I'm sure that will be more than enough for now. Plus one of our trips out there this week we plan to take hot dogs and marshmallows to roast over the fire. I'm sure they will love doing that too! Watch for more photos of our fun adventure! Of course I have to work too but I'll try to keep my phone handy and get some cute pictures too :)

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either. Last year we tried doing the  Three Wise Men Gifts  but I of course bought more than just 3 gifts. So what is the plan this year for holiday traditions in our house?

I'm taking the challenge!

I'm taking the challenge and I'm going to talk about the subject many people hush about! SEX!  Normally this would be completely outside my comfort zone (truthfully not sure I will post this as I'm typing) but I figure why not?!?  Being married makes it OK to talk about! We get so much from media that maybe it's about time that more people talk about the appropriated subjects of Sex!  First, let me start off by saying I did not wait until I was married. Looking back I wish I did because I have baggage, my hubby has baggage, and truthfully this subject has been the main topic of the majority of our fights for the past 5 years.  Just recently I started caring more about what I was wearing to bed just like  Mrs. T, Naturally  is talking about.  I'm sure must men would love it if their wives went to bed wearing something like this ------------------>  (I know my hubby would) however when you have little ones around (a...
