The month comes to an end.

July is almost over and I have officially have been living in Virginia for a month, how time flies. The end of this month was very busy. I went to see my brother in N.C., where I got to put my toes in the sand for thee days. (that is heaven to me!) I took the dogs with me so we had 4 dogs at my brother's house. It was a little like a zoo, but it was fun!
Erin's sister and her family came down from Jersey, so we spent our days at the lake and eating! It was great seeing them and us girls will remember never to play poker with Todd again!
For all of you that really know Todd and his issues with water, he actually went in the lake twice! He knew it would make me happy and the second time him and Oreo swam around. Oreo had so much fun in the water while Espn went in up to his chest and barked at the wake from the boats. We had a lot of fun, but now Oreo is suffering from water tail (pulled muscle in her tail from swimming so much!) She should recover just fine, but I am not sure if Todd will let me take her swimming again!
So July is heading out and in comes August. I will be visiting Becky in S.C. , Reggie and Todd's sister and family are coming for a visit so you know I will post again. I hope all is enjoying the summer! We miss you, Kelly, Todd, Espn & Oreo

Water and more water!

Well it has been over a week since I arrived in Virginia and who would of thought that Espn would be the first one that Virginia agrees with! In the past week Todd and I ate a nice romantic dinner on the lake and then saw some fireworks, hiked in the state park, and I swam in the lake and rode a jet ski! The biggest surprise is that Espn our wussy dog has jumped in the lake and had to be dragged out because he would of stayed in there forever if we let him. In the meantime he has learned to stay away from the cows and he is getting use to the cat (obsession of watching was annoying.)

We have checked out some homes in the area and it is amazing how opened the floor plans are and all of the windows to let nature in! All we need is our house to sell and then maybe we can leave Erin and Tommy alone! So far so good in Virginia, we are grateful for Erin and Tommy and will never be able to thank them enough!

Chat with you in the next entry!

Present life in Va.!

Here are some pictures of our views so far. I also included Reilly in the pool and Espn and Oreo's "cousin dog" Belle.

Past NJ life!

Happy 4th everyone! I hope you are enjoying your weekend. We had a good start here on the 4th and then we had a thunderstorm. Today is muggy and overcast, sounds like NJ huh? I am attaching some photos of our last days in NJ with family and friends, plus photos of where we are staying (Moneta, Va.). Erin and Tommy's house is located a curvy 40 min drive from Ronoake, we are in a place called Smith Mountain lake. It is beautiful, I have water and wilderness surrounding me. I am just missing the Target that use to be 5mins from me!

We are here!!

We made the 6 hr trip on Monday and the dogs did great! We are getting settled in and getting use to our new temporary home. Espn and Oreo have made friends with their "cousin dog" Belle and have also been chased by the cows that live in the yard behind us. Yes I know what you are thinking, Kelly and cows?? Todd is working hard at work and making a difference! I plan to post pictures this weekend of our area. Hope all is doing well!
