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

Two + Two + One more = FIVE

Yup, you read that right, by the end of July, the Stockment's will officially be a family of five. Jason and I learned in mid-November that we were expecting our third child and we were both overjoyed with the news. (More so than I thought Jason would be -- he wasn't convinced on having another (or should I say, not as convinced as I was), but once he saw that baby's heartbeating on the monitor at the docs office, he couldn't keep it a secret anymore!!) I convinced Jason to keep our news to immediate family, however, failed to remember that we have a VERY chatty 4 year old, and a 2 year old who repeats everything her big bro says! :) So, we told our families on a Tuesday evening (after our doc appointment that afternoon) and by Thursday, I think half of White County knew. If you attend or drop children off to attend Pam's daycare or Bright Beginnings Preschool, you were amongst the first to know! I had hoped for some elaborate scheme to tell both of our parents ...

Life's Beachy

What a whirlwind month March has been! From the baby reveal to birthday parties (Madi turning 3, Sawyer turning 2 and soon Brad & Debbie!), to Jason working weekend after weekend at his side job, to moving Matt & Sarah into their new home, to Jason getting a new job, to kindergarten round up, to preparing for Florida....whew! Yup, you read that right -- after 14 years with Bouma Betten, Jason is making a jump. He applied for a job with Monsanto in Remington, and was lucky enough to be offered the job just last week. I am so beyond proud of him -- he's not a resume/interview kind of guy, but he put his best foot forward and proved what a hard worker he is. He'll start there as a Seed Tech in mid-April and although it will mean big changes for him (and US!), it will be worth it. The benefits cannot be topped...vacation time, paid time off for sick leave, 401K, health -- all things he didn't have (or did have, but not great) in his current job. It will certainly be a...
