The Whirlwind

Well we have been in the midwest for a few weeks now and life has not slowed down!!  Since we left California we have looked at houses to buy, gone to the lake house, put an offer on a house, gone to Wichita to look through my grandparents stuff, I have started to study for boards, and Christy has started to work.  Christy and I are supper excited about our house!! The offer was accepted and now we are in the process of getting all the loan application signed and getting the house inspected.  Christy is going to work this morning for the second day...scary!!  but she doesn't start having patients until next week.  I think she will be ready after a week of orientation :)  So first things first hear is a link to our NEW HOME.

The Dentists going to Work!!  Christy's first Day

Last weekend Christy and I went to Wichita, KS to help my aunt go through my grandparents stuff cause they are now residing in CA...and with the new house we need things to put inside the house!!  So we put our bids on a few items!!  We basically told my dad that we would take everything :)  Here is a LINK to some of the items we found over the weekend and a couple of movies of my grandparents house on YouTube

They have so much stuff it is incredible!!  They have been living there for 50+ years and my grandma has tons of stuff from her parents.  We are going back this weekend.

Ginger and Ryan have been living in their new house for a few months now and they have been having problems with a few critters!!!

Grasshoppers 

Oh and here is a video of the grasshoppers:

And there green beans are getting destroyed by Japanese beetles but despite the set backs they have produced food from their garden!!!! 

MMMM that butternut squash and cucumber was good last night!!!!

I tried to get them to get guineas (a bird that looks similar to chickens and are free range birds and they eat ticks, grasshoppers, Japanese beetles, mice and small rats, snakes, and pretty much everything...and for the most part leave your plants alone) but they decided not to :( They are noisy and wander up to a 1/2 mile away from your property.  I can't get any cause there are restriction on the property Christy and I are getting :( no poultry.  They got some type of grasshopper bait and Ginger is on the prowl to kill grasshoppers!!!!

Go Ginger!!!!  Well I think thats all I have time for today!!! Back to studying!!
