The Garage

Yes, the car fits in the garage...the drive way is slanted so it looks really small in the photograph...that's funny!
To give a little information on our little home: It was built in 1954 and we bought it from the original owner, which makes us the second owners (Pretty Rad). The house has all original hardwood floors (in great condition),



a basement, and a remodeled kitchen from the 70's...it's a sight to see. We feel blessed to have been able to find a home that meets our needs and desires. My favorite part about living in this home is I can jump on my mountain bike and ride off into the hills within minutes!
ALSO I have an announcement....Lucas Shaved his Beard! YEAH! YEAH! For the first couple of days every time I would look at him I would laugh because he looked so different...I didn't remember him looking that way before!

Before:


During:


What a Clown!

What I woke up to the next morning:


After...Lucas said, "what a sexy man!"

Life in the fast lane

Come out for good music and live people!

The House

Well we moved in about 6 weeks ago, its been busy busy since then trying to get everything unpacked and refinishing hardwood floors. Here's what she looks like, we love her

Simple Pleasures!

Reading for pleasure…What is that? After being in school since I was 5…now 27…I have never understood pleasure reading! I always had some text book to read, YUCK! Well as of march 13th, I am free from text book reading or examine studying…YEAH! I completed my comprehensive exams, turned in my LARGE paper, and whatever else they wanted to graduate, on the 13th! What a day to celebrate!
I have been promising myself that the first book I would read when I was done is Little Women, a novel that has always caught my attention! Luckily, on the 13th my sweet mother gave me a wonder birthday gift, a copy of Little Women. I now understand the concept of pleasure reading! I get so excited when I have time to read…and when my time is up...I hesitantly put the book down, but I feel so motivated and excited inside! Weird I know, but I love the character of Jo March…If anybody wants to know me (Merridy not Lucas) or understand my heart, read Little Women and pay attention to Jo.
The excitement I feel from this book replaced any sadness I felt about not going to Nepal this year. Silly, I know.
Have a wonderful day!

Sad News

As some of you know I will be finishing my Masters program this spring...Yeah! Well, to treat myself for all my hard work I have been saving up so I could go on a trip of a life time. I have been planning a trip to Nepal to visit base camp (Mt. Everest). Working at FedEx I get a great discount on airfare...one in particular is on Cathay Pacific 90% off...or should I say, I use to get that great discount. I sent in the information to order our tickets and today got an email back stating, "until further notice, FedEx does not have a contract with Cathay Pacific." Sad Day! I will have to see if there is any other airlines that fly into Nepal OR Where should we go? Any idea would be great!
