More Snow?!

I just have to blog real quick about more snow....I don't want anymore!!! Jason and I are ready for spring and it's so close, but with more snow coming, it seems so far away. We're ready to get out to the property and be able to spend some time out there and not have to bundle up in 3 layers of clothing. We want to tromp through the streams and creeks and go mushroom hunting!!! Hurry up spring!! At least give us a day in the 40's....that's all I want!!! And no more snow.:)

What A Stinker....

Jason left this morning for Iowa City with some friends to go to Fin & Feather as well as Scheel's, which are both sporting goods stores. He's looking for a gun for turkey hunting, so that's all he told me. About 1:00, he calls me and said that he spent more money than he should have. I asked him how much and he tells me he spent $1300!!! He said, "Well,maybe I should have called you first, but I can do so much with it!!" I told him I felt a little guilty buying 12 rolls of paper towels,but I no longer did because of his major purchase. He asked if I were mad,and I said no,but deep down I thought he went a little overboard with the purchase. He's such a brat...he was just testing me and just wanted to see my reaction! He never did purchase anything and wants to keep on looking. He's such a little stinker. :)

Ash Wednesday

It's been a while since we've written a post, so we'll do some catching up. We finally got to go out to our property this past weekend and it was a blast.  We first took my parents out and Jason and my Dad put up no trespassing signs.  It was a little tough since we had to walk through the snow, but it was good exercise for all of us.  We went out on Sunday and Jason cleared some trees that had fallen down and burned some of the wood and then stacked the rest.  This hasn't even made a dent in all of the trees and brush that needs to be cut down/cleaned up, but it does look good what he's gotten done so far.  We have plans to head out there this weekend as well and clean it up a bit. 

Jason did some traveling this week.  He flew out Monday morning to Charlotte and came home today.  It's so nice to have him around and it just throws me all off when he's gone.  I'm starting to get used to him traveling in the sense that I'm getting more comfortable staying here, but I just like him to be home.  It makes me feel so much more comfortable. At least I have him for a little over a week in a row.  :)

Today was Ash Wednesday.  We went to mass tonight with my sister and the church was packed.  Father Crossen calls people that only come to Christmas and Easter, Chreasters, so I wonder what he would call people who only come to those two holidays plus Ash Wednesday???  It was great to see the church so packed and afterward, we went out to dinner with my sister and brother-in-law.  We went to the Thai restaurant in town and it was delicious as always!!!

I'm going to sign off....I haven't slept well since Jason's been gone, so I'm about ready to fall asleep as I'm typing this.  I'm really looking forward to getting a good night's sleep,I hope anyway. :)  Oh, and it's 3 weeks and 2 days until Jamaica!!!!!!!!

All in One Week

Just wanted to post this real quick before we head off to volleyball....what an eventful week this has been for Jason & I.  First, it was finding out that Jason's offer was accepted on the land and then second, I just found out yesterday that I am getting another job on the Arsenal!  I don't have to worry about BRAC anymore and not having a job....thank the Lord!!!  I will be going to JMC (Joint Munitions Command) and I will be a Quality Assurance Specialist.  Completely new job, so lots of training involved, plus more traveling than I have ever done before.  So, while I'm excited about it, I'm also nervous at the same time because it is changing fields and meeting all new people.  This will be a completely different building with people that I have never probably seen before.  It will be exciting and I am looking forward to it.  I'm just finally glad to be over worrying about having a job....what a relief.  :)

It's Official!!!

It's official!  Jason and I are farm land owners.  Jason has had his eye on 140 acres about 15 miles west of us for sometime now, and he finally put an offer in and it was accepted.  We couldn't be more excited.  Jason has all sorts of plans for hunting and for recreational purposes.  He can't wait to go buy deer stands and go fishing out on the property since we are right on the Cedar River.  We went out with my parents on Sunday to see the land, but I only got to see part of it because the creek was running pretty fast and I didn't have the right shoes on to walk over it, just in case my foot fell in it.  It looks beautiful and I know Andy & Sadie will love it.  I really hope Jason gets a huge buck next year....this is what he's always wanted and he finally can go out on his own property instead of getting permission to hunt on someone else's property-and I may learn how to hunt since I think this is what Jason wants.  Scary thought, huh?!  I'll have to post pictures once the ground thaws a bit and we can get back into the property.  Jason can't stop smiling and I couldn't be more happier for him.  :)
