Moving Time...with a Pod

Our Closing date, May 14th,  is looming ever nearer, so we're working to get our old house emptied and cleaned up.  I have decided that we seriously have entirely too much crap.  Ha ha So I am looking forward to some major purging when we find our new house! 

Anywho...we decided to try using one of those Pods to move with, and I am very impressed with it.  The Pods company has been very polite, and everyone I have talked to has been wonderful.  They delivered the Pod and placed it exactly where our neighborhood association said it had to go.  And thanks to my awesomely wonderful brother in law, we were able to get all of our furniture into it!  Here is a picture of the Pod:

This is the largest size pod they have, the 16 foot one.  We managed to get all of our furniture into it...but if we had needed to get an entire house worth of stuff all into pods, it would have taken two of the large pods and maybe a small one.  (Again, we have a lot of stuff!) 

And I just couldn't resist throwing in a few pictures of Jay helping Papa take the table legs off one of our tables:

Jay learned how to use a wrench!!  :0)

Four Years!!

Four years ago we tied the knot...got hitched...took the leap...became one...

Well, you get the idea. I am happy to say that four years ago on this day Jason and I became husband and wife. Our wedding day was the best day of my life, and I am so grateful that I get to spend each and every day with my very best friend, and the absolute love of my life! Jas you are amazing!!

I wanted to post some pictures from our wedding...but Jason has them all on an external harddrive.  And that sort of technology is just way beyone my skill level.  So here are a few pictures from our family website.  This one is of my side of the family:

And here is one of us with my serioualy adorable nephew:

And I just can't help but throw one in of Italy.  :0)  We spent two amazing weeks there for our honeymoon...which led us to the conclusion that we are Italian...we may not look it, but we are.  Trust me!   

So here's to hoping that these are the first four of many many many more happy years to come!! 

Daddy picked out a night light...

With our recent move, Jay has started asking us to leave a light on for him at night.  I am not sure if he is scared or just still a bit unsure of his surroundings.  Either way, we decided that he needed a night light.  And I agreed to let Jason pick it out.  Here is what we ended up with:

Yep, thats right....a fish tank. 

A ten gallon fish tank to be exact. 

A ten gallon fish tank, five guppies, three zebra fish, 3 ghost shrimp, and a plecostomus.....

Not quite what I had in mind, but still pretty neat.  And Jay LOVES it. 

Here are our guppies.  Jay named then all Sully. 

Here is our plecostomus.  Jay named him Walter.  And he is by far Jay's favorite!

Here is one of our ghost shrimp.  You can barely see him, but he is peeking out from between the bottom leaves. 

And here Jay grinning from ear to ear.  Want to know how the front of his shirt got wet!?  (And please excuse the lack of pants.  We are in the middle of potty training.  :0))
