Welcome to the Neighborhood

So it is official, CELG have sold their house in Fairfield and are finalizing paperwork on a house just 5 minutes from Justin and I in Pearland. The closing, on both houses, is set for late May so they should be moved in by early June. Despite the fact that we are not looking forward to helping them move we are looking forward to having them within 5 minutes. I guess we owe them since they did help us move all our nicely organized boxes and furniture (this is a jab in case there was any question). Welcome to the neighborhood you guys!

FYI: For those of you not prevy to my use of acronyms, CELG is short for Chris, Erin, Lucy, and Grace.

The Buskirk Peach Tree

Since we moved into the new house it seems everything that is happening outside is completely new to us. Even though we know these events have always been taking place it's almost like we have never noticed them before. After long debate I have decided the reason for this is because for the first time in our lives it is actually ours; we are pulling weeds in our flower beds and putting down fertilizer in our yard. It is the most wonderful feeling. We go out just about everyday to see how things are changing. One of our most prized possessions is the peach tree (cross your fingers) that we hope will actually provide fruit this year. The beautiful flowers this tree makes are this amazing deep pink color. Pretty soon these flowers will wilt and fall and leave in their place a little fruit.

I have decided that as a way to keep myself blogging I am going to track the cycle of "The Buskirk Peach Tree". Hope you will all enjoy in the fruits of my labor. Haha.

A Place to Call Our Own

We are finally exchanging apartment life for suburbia! Justin and I bought a new home in Pearland Texas. It is the perfect starter home and had all the things we were looking for. We can't wait to move in (February 1st) and start making it our own. The yard will be great for those impromptu barbques we have been dying to have. Can't wait to have everyone over.

Nebraska Reception

The reception in Hemingford went off without any hitches. It was a perfect finale to all the wedding celebrations. And on top of that my parents, my sister, and Lucy and Grace made the trip to Nebraska. Justin and I were totally surprised. It was a great treat. We partied late into the night and had a wonderful time as usual. Already looking forward to the next trip!

Carhenge

The one and only tourist stop in Western Nebraska....Carhenge. We stopped for a few photo ops after Sonya picked us up from the airport. I have been bugging Justin to take me since we started dating. It was a great beginning to our week in Hemingford!

The Big Day: Pics

These are just a few more wedding pics. After almost three weeks of waiting the photographer finally put the pictures online. Thank goodness cause I was about to go crazy from all the anticipation.

The Calm After the Storm

Following the craziness of the wedding we decided to take a short Honeymoon to San Antonio. The perfect weather made it a beautiful weekend for roaming the Riverwalk and seeing the sights. We did all sorts of fun stuff: Strolled the zoo, took in some piano bar entertainment, saw the Alamo, had the best steaks of our lives, and even went caving at Natural Bridge Caverns. We had a wonderful time and our only wish is that it could have lasted longer.
