Get a Life!!!!

Has anyone ever told you to get a life.  I think I have been told that several times over the years.  Mostly in Middle School!!  Anyway, for anyone out there who has ever told me to "Get a Life", ... I did just that over the past few months.  I started a new job, moved into a new house, and have myself a new dog!!!  Mason's new dog that is.  Yep, we are now living the American Dream!  Pretty exciting isn't it.  My checking and savings account do not find it very exciting.  

As for the move, we were able to survive it without much trouble.  Desiray actually had my help this time.  When we moved down here, she had to do most of it by herself.  The good news is I had to go to GA last week and was able to get all the things we have out of storage.  We now have everything we have had to live without for the last 6 months.  We did encounter one little bit of trouble before we moved out of the Condo.  The story goes something like this:

We were up late one night loading boxes into mine and Desiray's vehicles.  Mason and Desiray had gone out to the car when all of a sudden Mason came running inside screaming and crying.  I got her calmed down and she was able to get out, "Snake".  I went outside to find Desiray blocked in by a copperhead who did not want us to leave.  He had the path to the car blocked.  The funny thing was watching Desiray and I try to kill it.  Desiray held its head down with a mop while I cut his head off with a pair of wire cutters.  It was quite humorous watching us dance around with this snake.  Here's a picture of the guy:

Many of you know how Mason has not forgotten the fact that her mom and I promised her a Puppy when we moved in the new house.  Everytime we went by the house during construction she would ask if it was done yet and if she could have a puppy.  Everytime we said "Not Yet".  Well, once the house was done she came to me and said, "The house is built, we can get a puppy now."  I tried every way I could to get out of the whole puppy thing but finally caved in.  We now have a new addition to the family.  Meet Trigger!  The little guy is a 3 month old Yorkie/Maltese mix.  He must have a little chicken in him too as he is scared of heights, frogs, and most other strange noises.  Say Hello Trigger!

I have found one problem with the new house.  It must be close to some power lines or it could be the water.  We woke up the other morning to this:

Lets just say one Mason is enough!  Desiray and I tried to reverse this little problem but only caused further mutations:

The cool part is Both Mason's get a special roll in the next Star Wars Movie!  Talk to you all soon!!!!
