Happy Solstice From A Moving Box

Happy Solstice and Supermoon!  :) 

We have begun moving into the house, boxes and boxes of books and stuff sitting all over the house at this time.  This group of boxes belong to my husband, mine arrives tomorrow.  Happily, my boxes will be moved by others, unlike yesterday hauling box after box from truck to living room.  (whew!)
By Wednesday, we should be into the house full time!  Woo woo!  I can't hardly believe it!


 My. Own. Home!!!

Living in Texas is so similar to spending summers with my grandparents in South Carolina that it makes me tear up sometimes.  I don't know if it's the birds, the smells, or the attitudes, but I half expect my Grandmother to come around the corner. 
On that same subject, the Hubby's family has decided that our nuptials are more than reason enough to throw a BBQ/wedding shower.  (The just want a get together)  The invitation list is on its third page.   (Insert shocked face here)

And, yes, before you ask, I have already scoped out the landscape for planting purposes. My herbs will do wonderfully and I'm plotting and planning as to where they go.  And then plotting and planning on what  things I'm going to make with all of those herbs.  :)  I have access to a water bath canner that I'm going to use to full extent!

On The Road

The Lower Falls in Yellowstone National Park.  :)    We've been on the road for a week, finally in Amarillo, Texas  for the last night before getting to our destination. It's been an interesting and, often, very exciting week. 

The big news is that the girls cannot be stuck together in a vehicle for more than two days without getting pissy.  I've got one more day before getting home and I'm dreading it.  I understand now why some animals eat their offspring on vacation.

The other big big news is that The Hunny and I got married in Jackson Hole!!!!  Woo woo!!!  

Actually we got married here:

It was wonderful and I couldn't ask for a better husband!  :)

Babies!

 

 

Merganser hen and ducks!

                                                                            Diving down!

Lately, I've been taking a lot of bird photos.  The babies are out at the wildlife refuge and my fiancé is nuts about birds, like me.  He can tell the bird by the call, so it's really nice to have him go with so I know what I'm taking pictures of.  Plus, it's a great family thing for us to do.  The Oldest (deep breath) will practice her driving while I take pictures, the Youngest with the other camera and The Hunny is driving coach and bird identifier.  LOL

We are all packed and meeting the movers tomorrow morning at the storage unit.  Whew!  I'm so excited to get going!!  At this point, I've just decided that if I forget something, I don't mind.  I'm too tired to care.  LOL

June - Kicking It All Off

whew! It's finally here.

 June.

For the last 8 months, I have been working towards this month.  My hard work has paid off and I am just beginning to relax and enjoy it all.  I have had my last day at one of my works and will be done with the second job on Thursday, when the kids are done with school.

But first, I have a few more boxes to go through in my storage unit....
