Moooooving...

Besides chronicling Riley's every move (those that know me can attest to my "control freak factor" I thought a blog regarding our little corner of the world would keep those that care in touch with us after our move. my loving, providing, fabulous husband of almost 10 YEARS landed a great job in Memphis TN about a month ago. So...we're off to see the wizard...the wonderful wizard of Oz (in this case Oz is in Olive Branch, MS not too close to Kansas, but anyway...back on task. After a weekend of parading through EVERY home in our price range in the Arlington, Collierville, Germantown, Bartlett, and Lakeland TN areas...we found nothing... Within that same weekend we visited EVERY home in our price range in the Olive Branch, MS area and B I N G O, there it was! On June 16th (fingers crossed) we will be the proud owners of a new home in Creekside Estates subdivision on Turkey Creek Drive located in the metropolis (that's a stretch) of Olive Branch. We were a little disappointed that there were no other farm animal names for streets, but we think our "little turkey" will love it there! A big yard with a great tree line in the back and a creek that runs along the backside of the property. I'm already thinking about how to landscape..ahem...have Mike landscape a path down to the creek for our girl! Pictures to come soon! I promise!

The reason behind the blog...

Riley's "goons" as we lovingly refer to her grandparents will have to be kept up to speed on her every move once she moves to northern Mississippi. Mike has accepted a wonderful opportunity at a company in Memphis so we're westward bound later this summer.
