So, did you really read through my last post?  It was long, but down at the bottom I finally pass along a little tidbit of info.

We are moving back to the 42220.

Since that isn't 90210, you may not know that zip code, but it's Elkton, Ky, AKA my hometown.

It's exciting and crazy and still freaking me out a bit.  I'm still tired of moving but yet we are looking at a couple more moves.  1 to the house we will be living in while we build.  We will not start building until we sell this house, but hopefully sometime next year we can break ground and get this show on the road.

I'm not so optimistic that I think we will be in it by Christmas next year, but I hope we have at least started by then.

I'm still not ready to make this totally Facebook public yet (if you read this through the FB link it's because I choose you to see it, not everyone can.....feel special, lol)  So, just keep it on the down low for a while longer....I'm sure more people know than I realize, this is Elkton for crying out loud, but still, I'm not going to make a big production out of it.

No job changes will have to occur, Ben and I can both do what we do now from Elkton, so he is happy to be near the farm and hunting ground.  I'm glad to have more friends and help that will just be a quick few miles away and that it actually does get us a hair closer to Sikeston and the drive from Elkton to there is a zillion times easier and more direct.  I really hated that drive from Utica to Sikeston.

So, one day in the next month or two I'll hopefully finish the few minor things we need to do to our house to get it ready to go on the market.  Prayers and fingers crossed it takes less time than our house in Richmond.  This market has never been as bad as it was over there, but you never know.  Although I'm not sure I'm quite mentally ready for the 2 weeks that it took to sell our house in Madisonville.  I'd love about 2-3 months!

We are heading to Kansas City for Thanksgiving and I'm looking forward to it.  We don't get to see that side of Ben's family as often as we all like, so it should be a fun time for everyone.....all 19 of us.....in one house.  There will be lots of wine : )  Wine regardless, but we do have fun when we are all together.

Ben's been hunting, bow and rifle now that season for that opened last weekend.  The 40 mph winds last weekend didn't really give him much chance to shoot much, or hunt much for that matter, but he's at in none the less.  My Brother In Law Nick killed one today, so now the race is on!

Bean has been running around like crazy.  She's finally getting enough hair to really wear some bows.....if you wrap then in rubber bands so they've got some grip, then she's ready for bows : )  She finally leaves these alone for the most part.

She's just growing like a weed and just has the best personality.  She's always laughing and having fun!

Her new favorite thing now is to try to pet Tucker (which he is allowing more and more) and then to feed him.  She will take whatever morsel of food to his snout where he then gently takes it from her hand.  Thankfully we taught him a long time ago not to bite fingers and snap at food, so we are safe.

Tomorrow is Prematurity Awareness Day, and I'll probably blog about it if I have time, we have our local March of Dimes Signature Chef Dinner and Auction tomorrow night to raise money for the March of Dimes and I'll be helping.  So, wear purple if you remember to do so!!

Here's a few pictures of late, and I never put any in the blog from Ashton's photos out at the farm, I'm sure you all saw them on FB but I'll post a few of my fans on here.
