Our Dream Home

Well, as promised here are a few pictures of the place. Remember, I'm by no means a certified photographer, so these shots probably don't do much for the place. I'll post a few "befores" of the inside too. Our first goal is to redo the floors...which you can see need some work. Some cleaning, and tlc will do this house wonders. The setting alone is worth it. We were out there last night...and it's so dang peaceful. Jason has big dreams and I know it means an awful lot to him, so we're excited to get out there and get settled. At this point, it looks like we could be moving out there next week...but obviously, only into a few rooms at first, until we get it cleaned, ready to live in. Anyway...enough jabber. Here are some pictures...Enjoy!

PS. Happy Friday!

This is the house from about 50 feet back. Obviously, I didn't do anything with the dates on my camera...so ignore that.  The main entrance is there behind the pole for the security light.



 The next two are the barns that are in the pasture...one is more of a tool shed, the other an old barn with a hayloft. Hopefully there will be a basketball rim up there someday...



And a few of the scenery...remember, there's a HUGE long lane, and tons of yard/pasture...



And finally, a few inside shots -- the first of the living room -- note the nasty pink carpet that will be removed, but the awesome rock wall the will stay. The second, a huge sun porch off the front of the house.



The End!

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...
