A Life Interrupted

Hi ya’ll!  I am in Phoenix or technically Goodyear and love our new home. We moved in July 3^rd (HOT!) 

It has been a crazy 3 months.  I was unpacking and organizing when the call came that my father was having emergency surgery.  My parents live in TX so I jumped on a plane.  Spent 2 weeks in there....most of it in the hospital.  Exhausting!  There have been ups and downs but dad’s recovery is going well.

August was organizing and decorating with our brought items.  I had to get  those in place to assess what we were going to need since we doubled our square footage!  I have a few pics here of the empty house and outdoor areas. 

  Looking forward to those winter nights by our courtyard fire place.  I should  get busy looking for a comfy couch!

 The open floor plan of the kitchen/dining/living area is one of our favorite things about the house.

The pool is a nice size for relaxing or swimming laps.  We converted it to salt water so it is also nice on the skin. 

September brought the arrival of our new puppy, Commander.  

A 9 week old basenji puppy with tons of energy.  He has caused my days to be just a little crazy, the good kind of crazy .  As of now we are on an outdoor potty training mission.  I will let you know when that is complete.  Looks like it could be a long haul.

Next blog will show a few of our new purchases and a couple of complete rooms.  That is it for now.  It is time for a puppy pit stop!
