Sorry for the delay in posting. Life has been very busy as of late and any spare moment was spent binging on Netflix and Hulu. Sometimes you need a little break from things, and that is the closest thing I can get to a vacation right now. Owning a home has brought new challenges for us, and really is challenging our wallets. We will eventually get to a more comfortable position with our finances, but until then, stress is overtaking our lives (among other things).

Our Home and Irma

So, we have not posted this week due to the damages that Irma brought. Our home is fine, however the winds blew over one of our trees in the front yard, which so happened to land on the power lines. It was a HUGE mess! The fire department was so busy all they could do was block it off with caution tape. However, it was causing quite the jam. It blocked half of the neighborhood from getting in and out. Finally, some guys decided to take matters into their own hands and cut the tree themselves, enough room to allow people to drive in and out. Before and while they were cutting, we helped people get their kids and allowed them to use our driveway to park. We did the little that we cold in this situation. We also, met a lot of our neighbors in the process.

The Escape of 2 Huskies

When we first bought our home, what really sold us was the backyard. It was fenced in and was big enough for our huskies to run and enjoy life. We have more backyard to expand on, but that will come in time. Anyways, 3 sides of the fence are a privacy fence and the backside is a black metal fence. We were skeptical about the back part of the fence because Zelda is a fence jumper. So, my mom's boyfriend helped us by adding a blockade at the top, Jump That Zelda! It was funny to see her check out the fence when we first got here, trying anyway to hop, but realizing it was just too high for her. She would charge the fence and then at the last minute stop.

The Blogging Adventure Begins

 

This is my second time blogging, his first time blogging and our first time blogging together.

We have this motto that we do everything together, some of you may think we are crazy because you need your space, however we believe that there are certain things we go together or not at all. One major reason is because 5 of our 11 1/2 years was long distance, so we had plenty of time separated. The second reason is that we are each other's best friend, so why wouldn't we want to hangout together? He is one of the girls, my friends know that wherever I go he is surely coming with and vice versa. Sure there are times when we want some special time with just the girls or boys (harder for him since all of his close friends are in NY.), but those times only happen when the other one is at work and usually only consists of lunch and "window" shopping. 😉

We have begun a new adventure with buying our first house June of this year. We have always discussed the idea of making a blog together, it is just making sure you actually put in the time for the blog. So this adventure begins!

Thanks for your support and we hope to share more with you soon!
