Brain Blogging

I would blog more if I could blog directly from my brain. You know, think my blog posts and they automatically are posted. With the flex schedule Justin and I are running (in the office ~7am - ~3pm) my day is full of work and in the afternoons we always have something going on. Honestly - if I had been blogging over the past few weeks these are the topics I would have covered...

- Our FANTASTIC trip to Niagara Falls (photos)

• The hotel was fab - it overlooked the falls and had a fireplace. The bed was sooo luxurious, Sheraton on the Falls


• It snowed one day!


• We saw Lord of the Rings the musical.


• We went to the Butterfly Conservatory - AMAZING!


• We visited Inniskillin and their sister winery Jackson Triggs - so in love with ice wine

- The pig pickin on the land... (photos)

• The pig was HUGE


• We could not have done it without Hoke


• Curba & Alan brought fab greens from Blue Marlin


• Scott & Lisa brought fantastic banana pudding


• A good time was had by all.

- The selection & purchase of logs to build the initial house on the land.

• We selected a custom plan from Southland Log Homes


• Rob is our rep - he is super nice


• We are using dovetail logs as opposed to round ones


• We are using wood colored wood & tin colored tin

- The stress and awfulness of building a home.

• We have already had several agents call to make sure it was OK to show the property.

- Going to Lake Lure

• Alex, from Palmetto Payroll, allowed Justin and I to go stay in his cabin free. All we had to do was take photos


• The cabin was GORGEOUS


• Ben & Amelia went with us


• We climbed Chimney Rock

- Meeting Sarge - Sarah Jane's baby bulldog

• Sarah Jane & Hannah brought Sarge over yesterday afternoon for a photo shoot on the front lawn.


• Mary & Hannah came over from next door to play


• Sarge & Gohan played well


• Vegeta did not like Sarge

That really summarizes it all. I will try and do better. There have ben more posts floating in my head I just have neglected to take the time to write them down.
