I have one thing to say...I was born to be a southerner! We are LOVING Lexington! We arrived right smack in the middle of the worst snow/ice/winter storm in 9 years, but it didn't put a damper on our new love affair with Kentucky!
Those of you who know me know I love a good top ten list...so to sum it up here is the...
TOP TEN THINGS WE LOVE (SO FAR) ABOUT KENTUCKY...10. Our brand spankin new apartment. Is it sad that the boys kept talking about how white the walls were and how nice the carpet felt the first few days we were here? Yes, yes it really is.
9. Listening to everyone's southern drawl and having perfect strangers call you "honey" "dear" and "sweetheart". They are so warm and friendly!
8. All the Walmart Super Centers. Kentuckians LOVE Walmart, and I am fan. Everything here is SUPER affordable. I still have sticker shock when I am shopping.
7. Todd loving his internship with Amazon.com and the project he is on...
and we love having him around a whole lot more!
6. Living in the lap of luxury with a dishwasher AND a washer and dryer. I feel so spoiled!
5. Our Ward. After hearing the first few speakers our first Sunday Todd and I turned to each other and said, "Sold". It really has been wonderful. Thatcher is LOVING Sunbeams, and has the nicest teachers. I am so relieved. Tagg loves Nursery here, mostly because they have a slide. I am basking in the normality of the Relief Society and Todd is amazed at how great the Elders Quorm is. It is like a breath of fresh air, let me tell ya!
4. All the fun things they have to do for families and kids.
3. The gym and tanning bed at our apartment complex...ummm hello?! SO nice.
2. The rolling hills and all the horse farms, it is really so beautiful! I can't wait until Spring, I hear it is breathtaking.
1. Having this fun new adventure together as a family!
So in a nut shell we are liking it so far!
Here are some highlights of what we have been doing the last couple weeks.
Todd's welcome gift from Amazon. Good ol' Kentucky made BBQ sauce and Maple Syrup. It doesn't get much better than that folks!
I love these pictures of the boys drinking at McDonald's Playland, a favorite place of ours for the boys to get some energy out.
Friday Night Pizza and Movie Night!
Classic Tagg face, so glad I caught it!
Todd perfecting his english muffin masterpiece!
Thatch and Tagg all ready to watch the movie!
Thatcher with his missing front tooth! This kid is going to be the end of me!
We went to this awesome place called "Kids Place". Basically it is like a giant room full of ropes to climb, slides to slide, polls to slide down and balls to romp around in. A little boys dream.
Do you think they look worn out enough? They slept well this night! :)
I have been baking a lot lately. I don't know why. I just got the baking bug. In the spirit of Valentines Day I made these cookies for a church function. These, my friends, are the cookies that de-veganized my dear Todd. Oh yes, it is true. These are his weakness. Peanut butter cookies with candy kisses.
Tagg has been talking more and more...here is a cute little video to show off his new skills.
I saw this card on this HILARIOUS website. Check it out if you haven't seen it yet. It made my day. I especially loved this card after the day I had today. It really is the best time of the day when Daddy comes home!
