5 Years!

Today we celebrated the 5th Anniversary of our first date. Wow! It's hard to believe it's been that long, but here's a snapshot of all that's happened in those 5 years:

• 8 Goat Shows: At least that Luke came to...
• 7 Trips to the Driving Range: It's about give and take folks...and I wasn't quite as awful as I thought
• 6 Cars: Mable (the red Pontiac), the burgandy boat, the Contour (may the transmission rest in peace), the Neon (still going!), the HHR (God bless the '57 style front end that saved Ricky & Luke's lives), and the Equinox
• 5.5 Births: Peyton Tidrow, Jacob Farmer, Sophia Sparks, & our adopted nieces Savannah Semmler & Shelby Life. Oh yeah...and there's another on the way (Yay Hayden!)
• 3 New Homes (in the past year no less!): Plainfield, Terre Haute, Farmersburg (coming soon!)
• 2 Deaths: Aunt Marcella Rader & Grandpa Max Farmer
• 2 Study Off-Campus trips: New Mexico for a month & Philadelphia for a semester
• 1 College Transfer: USI to Vincennes University
• 1 Flood (We're figuring that Pestilence and Frogs will come in for the 1st & 5th wedding anniversary.)

So you may have noticied that I mentioned a move to Farmersburg. It's true! We're no longer homeless! And our wonderful friends can have their house back. I do think that the saddest part of the Flood-forced Brady Bunch will be Savannah (who loves her kitty cat!) and Bear and Izzy. They've gotten kind of used to each other!

Hopefully we'll have pictures of the new place soon, but we don't move until after September 1st. Anybody free to help move? :)

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July everyone!

We spent the weekend with family in Richmond. In fact, Luke & his cousin Stephen were crowned Kings of Cornhole in the Corman Family Cornhole Tournament. Uncle Joe made a delicious meal...in a trash can!

And we capped off our visit by moving Jessi & Travis into their new home! It is a beautiful place and they've put a lot of work into it. It'll be perfect for their new start as newlyweds!

We also got to check out Grandma & Grandpa's new house. It's very homey and warm. The garage gives Grandpa plenty of room to putter. The backyard is actually a cement patio, but the flower & veggie gardens make it feel natural still.

It seems everyone's getting settled except for us, but hopefully we'll figure out a plan soon!
