About 2054 Miles

In February 2007, my husband and I packed up all our belongings, drove 2054 miles and moved from California to Iowa. This blog is about my and my husband's adventures, which mainly now feature our two boys- 5 year old Rex and 3 year old Wyatt.

Last Week- The Short Version

I don't really have a lot of stories to tell about the past week though we've been pretty busy. Here's a quick rundown.

- Mother's Day was really nice. I got flowers, a present that I needed (a super-duper bypass pruner for the yard) and was attended to throughout the day by Rob. Rex hit me in the mouth with the tv remote and later headbutted me square on my cheekbone. Both made me cry in pain but thankfully neither left marks or knocked out any teeth. So there is room for Rex to improve next year but Rob did awesome.

- Went to yoga class on Monday night, as I've been doing for the past 6 weeks or so. I'm glad I am back at it because I tend to be really tight and bound up and yoga really helps me loosen up and be more flexible.

- Got my hair cut on Tuesday night. It's a little different this time and I don't think Rob's really a fan. Oops. I like it though.

- Attended a cpr/choking class on Wednesday night. I am not certified but I know what to do. Bring on the solid foods for Rex!

- Bought some Liquid Fence on Thursday to use in yard. The bunnies were eating some of our new plants and I am not going to stand for that! I have only seen one dare go near the plants since I sprayed that- most make a mad dash to get out of the area. The one that didn't got beaned in the head with a rather large piece of shredded oak mulch by me. I don't think he'll be back unless he wants more of the same. If I can manage to hit him again from 30 feet away which truly was a miracle. I have terrible, terrible aim.

- Friday night was Bunco night. It was at a house out in the country where there was some gentle rolling hills covered in green grass and I thought I was in heaven. Rob and I are ready to move to the country- but I don't think we will. Too many conveniences with living in town that I would miss.

- We worked in the yard some this weekend. There was a spirea and some bulbs by the garage that had to be removed to make way for Rob's next project- an enclosure for our 2 trash cans. Right now they sit in front of the house and they are so ugly. We both can't wait to get them over on the side of the house.

- Rob also changed the brakes on the X Terra this weekend but first he had to buy a jack, jack stands, some tools and the new brake pads. I'm not real sure we saved money this time but next time we need to fix anything it will be a lot cheaper since we own the jack, jack stands and tools now.
