Goodbye, 305 E. Third St.

Sad day folks...last night was officially the last night at 305 E Third. Quite sad if you think about the good times that have occurred in that place. It's Jason's first house, home to many good memories for him and Seth I'm sure...many of which I'm not, and probably never want to be aware of. It's where we started dating, had our first Christmas, many Apple/Popcorn Garage Sales, porch parties, Jason's surprise birthday party, and of course, it was home to many wonderful 305 E Third St. Parties -- let me tell you, if you weren't involved in one of these, it's definitely your loss. All I'll say is that after an evening of fun at a wedding...the place to go was 305 E Third. The picture proof of the Gretencord Wedding 305 E Third St. Party is enough to prove that it was a good time. Let's just say that they boys didn't keep a full fridge, but that night, they had at least 6 cases of Miller Lite and some ketchup in their belongings.

It's where we started our life together, so it's kind of sad to be leaving, but we're off to bigger and better things...that's what I keep reminding myself. After all, I'm the one who hated town, and am dying to be back in the country...and really, we can still host the after wedding parties...as long as we don't wake the baby!

In all honesty, this week has been a whirlwind. Work has been nuts. Moving out of our house in about one week has been nuts. And moving in with my parents for awhile will be nuts. But, it's only temporary, and even more motivation to hurry up and get things livable so we can get back on our own in no time. Don't get me wrong, we've got our work cut out for us in the next few weeks, but there's so much potential there, that it's exciting, not frustrating, and did I mention we'll be in the country?

Not much else new to report, although, moving out and changing our lives with a baby, new house, etc. is pretty huge news. This weekend is the Hammonds-Demerly wedding...can't wait for that. Then on Sunday, baby Meredith gets baptized...again, very exciting! Unfortunately, it'll be the first weekend we could work on the house, and it's jam-packed...but on the bright side...we have fun stuff planned, and several free weekends ahead!

Hope that everyone has a great weekend. PS...this kids a kicker! :)

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

April - Hey Batter, Batter...

April is always the month that makes us think spring is FINALLY here, because it's starting to warm up, suns starting to shine more, except when we finally get to the baseball/softball fields, it's just as cold as it was in February. Thankfully, Emmalyn had an indoor sport to carry us through the cold of the month, until baseball/softball really got kicked off! Emmalyn tried something new this year and participated in CiVic vollebyall. This is a club program out of Carroll County, and she practiced every Sunday from January through April. Finally in late April she had three play dates. One Saturday we played up at Fairmount, IN. Grandma Jacki, Keaton and I went with Emmalyn, while Dad, Grandpa and Colton cut down some trees in preparation for our spring projects. Emmalyn and Mae Ella did a wonderful job for their team, both rocked their serving and seemed to know the game and keep their cool better than some on the team. The second weekend Dad, Em & Mom traveled to Triton H...
