Today Dan and I celebrate a decade (!) Of marriage! Our lives are so different now. We are different. We've changed and grown as individuals. But no matter what, he still remains my best friend.
We've been thru four moves, more cars than I can count, accumulated four dogs, and had a beautiful baby boy.
I love experiencing life with this man and I can't wait to see what the next ten years bring our way!

A post about Motels, Frigerators and Fighting Ants!
I can't believe it's May.
These past few months have been such a jumbled mess, I've lost track of time. When you live in a motel room, each day tends to blend with the next. Hopefully we will be moving into our house next week, but not before moving to one more motel room. I've started keeping track and this will mark our 7th room change since moving to California. This does not include our travels to Ohio and staying with friends before we left Las Vegas. Enough already!
I'm ready to cook again, and that's saying a lot because I hate cooking. I'm just SICK of eating out. When the rooms allow, we try our best to make ourselves meals; however, this room has a serious ant problem so we no longer keep any food around. I have sprayed and sprayed and sprayed, and the ants always seem to find a new way to get into everything. We move back into a room with a kitchenette on the 9th, so hopefully we can cook and grill again.
Speaking of cooking: Dan has a new grill all picked out (we had to leave the other one so it didn't make a ginormous mess in the truck), and I just purchased a new fridge. This home didn't come with a fridge so I've been comparing prices around town. Most places price match, but it's still more than I want to spend. We had a beautiful french door Samsung in Vegas and we loved it. I wanted that fridge again, but I haven't been able to find it as cheap. That's when I discovered Sears outlet online. I was able to find a french door Samsung (but in stainless steel, with water- even better!) for $500 less than our old, plain one. Why so cheap? The outlet site has all their floor models or scratch and dent items. There is not a store near us, so I couldn't see the item for myself; however, they do post the condition and location of any dents or scratches. Plus, each item has 4-5 pictures so you can see what you are purchasing. Since the fridge isn't being delivered until next week it remains to be seen if I scored a great deal or a lemon..... I'll let you know how it turns out.
That's it for now!
