Nature!

I have never been much of a screamer. I have always thought that I wasn't too giddy or too girly. I didn't think that I got too nuts or overemotional whenever my Grandma came to town. ( grandma was code for menstral cycle when we were kids.) Nor did I cry too much.

And I liked it that way.

But guess what! I have totally turned into a girl! 

Yes, I get so giddy and excited when My husband gets home from work I run out to give him a big hug. My tail even shakes a bit.

 I push back my cuticles and do my nails. Sometimes I find myself crying at random and when I am asked," Lethe, why are you crying?" I have no clue.

 So ladies and gentlemen... "Man-cuz perez" slash "George" has finally become a GIRL! 

 The other day Tristan and I were in the car and I saw this huge, I mean HUGE thing in the middle of the road! I got so excited that I just started screaming and pointing! Well, it scared the heck out of Tris and he's like, "WHAT?" what's wrong and then he saw it... the biggest most gigantic squirrel we both had ever seen! Seriously, it was like 2 feet tall and had a tail to match! crazy huh?! I wish I had a picture to show you! 

Brian Fellow's "Safari Planet" has got nothing on Florida! 

 

 One of our favorite hobbies now is looking for sweet animals 

COWS... because well we live on land that has cows. one of the mama's just had a baby! It is so cute!

DEER... you gotta be careful driving at night. They're crazy!

SQUIRRELS... lots and lots of 'em even these huge ______ squirrels that are like 2 ft tall with the biggest tail you have ever seen! 

POSSUM... usually dead on the road, but I have seen some live ones too. 

we saw a WOOD PECKER the other day cool!

4 OWLS... 1 huge one at night that looked so cool... and then three more all at once! neato!

TURTLES... they are sooo rockin'! We were at a friend house and I looked out into their back yard/forest and there was this turtle chasing their chiuaua around the yard. It was really amusing! 

Tristan saw a white faced WEEZLE the other day on the way to work! 

We went to the beach last weekend and I even saw DOLPHINS! 4 of them! so exciting! 

This one is our favorite though! his name is Henry... Prince Henry! He is our frog that comes and eats all the bugs off of our porch. we love him very much and I love going out to look for him every night! here are some family photos! 

Life in General

Welcome to our humble abode.  

This is where we live. 136 woodbine lane. We live out in the BOONIES!  Being from a small town in Wyoming I totally thought that I understood the term boonies/boondocks. I didn't.

 We are 7 miles to the nearest gas station and like a mile of that is harsh-nasty dirt road! boo. other than that I enjoy living out here for the most part. We live with the Bradshaw Family 

This is Luke Bradshaw (17) rockin the sweet suit in this picture! He was a sweet heart for homecoming for the National Honor Society! yeah... he's a stud! Love this kid. he continues to make life more enjoyable and lightens things up with his humor everyday. He is good at everything! plays soccer and will tear your face off with his mad-bass voice! 

   

This is the lovely Ileah Bradshaw (15). She loves to put on make up and do her beautiful hair and go to town taking pictures of everyone. She is a mad-student (so good at studying and homework)! She is acing all her classes including the online Latin class that she is taking! She is great at making cookies and therefore has a gift to make the house a happier place!

 Finally we come to our beloved mama and papa Bradshaw. Gwen and Robert that is! 

 We are so thankful to them for having us in their home for such a long period of time! They are just the greatest! So jolly and so willing to help! 

 

Rob is so great! He just had knee surgery like 2 weeks ago. But that couldn't keep him down long! He was out and about tending the garden and painting the Northrup's home in no time! He puts his mind to something and nothing can stop him! 

 Gwen "the amazing" Bradshaw seriously never ceases to amaze me! She knows so much. Her food storage is like nothing I have ever seen before! She just taught me how to make bread and preasure-cook/can MEAT the other day! MEAT folks! That is just nuts! whether it's her fabulous food storage or her extensive knowledge on Family History she will rock your socks right off ladies and gentlemen!

 

 So there you have it... good times with the Bradshaws!

 

S.O.S!

  So I am really trying to be good at blogging but every time that I get up the courage to try it again I spend like forever trying to get cute little things on here like a slide show thing... or the music that I think is just so fun but no matter how hard I try I just can't do it!!!!! 

 HELP!

How do you girls do it? 

movin along

So guess what?! We finally know what is going to happen to us and when we are getting out of Florida! YAY! 

A couple weeks ago Tristan finally got the goods from his recruiter! He has a job as a... what was it again? integrated avionics specialist perhaps... I am pretty sure that is what it's called. something technical. Basically, what that means is that he gets to make sure that all the computer stuff on the planes are working well and correctly!  We both think that he is really going to enjoy it! He is so smart he will do a great job with the new challenge I am sure!

He will report to the Lackland, Texas air force base July 14, 2009 and will be there for his basic military training! It is a total of 9 weeks I do believe and then we will find out where he will go for his job training... I should be able to go with him for that. AND THEN we shall find out where we are to be stationed for a while! GERMANY is on the list! We are kind of hoping for that! So we are very excited! 

Hooray for good news!
