Well, that's how I feel! We're moving into a new place, we got some new sheets and dishes, and we're moving to a place closer to my school and Bryan's work. It's gonna be really good for us and I am happy. You know, generosity is a great thing. So is selflessness. I gotta say, Donna Petrak has a lot of both. But now is the time for Bryan and me (and Stryker) to live in Harmony. It's very farmish.
I haven't lived in the country since I was a kid, and it wasn't very long before we moved to Searcy. What's the best part about living in the country in PA, as opposed to AR? No ticks! How many of us cousins remember going out to the barn, sitting (and usually singing--Rachel and Tara--on the hay, coming back with ticks. Going out and playing with the dogs, coming back with TICKS. Not here. Whee-hoo!
Plus, we now have donkeys! They're not ours or anything, they're just there and all we have to do is water them. We named them Steve-o and Horace. Horace is the big white one, and Steve-o is the smaller, more friendly one. He loves to be scratched on his head and nose, and Horace stays away until his jealousy overcomes him. Then he comes up for a good scratch on the noggin.
We also have a nice spring near the house. We'll get our water from there, mostly. It tastes way better than stuff from the PUR filter. So, if you want to get away for a few days, we have a place for you now! (This means you, Mom.) ^_^
Or Rachel and Casey, if you overshoot your parents house and keep driving, come on. It's only a few more hours. Pittsburgh is a great place to live--the restaurants, the gorgeous hills, the sights. Maybe we can even take in a Penguins game. I didn't go to one last season and I really want to this time. I have a nifty student ID now that will get me a discount at games.
Okay, so that's the new stuff. I love and miss people like crazy, and I look forward to seeing people next.
Oh, by the way, Aunt Kathy is just so cool. I had so much fun at her house a coupla nights ago. I got to see people I hadn't seen in WAY too long--Tiffany, Megan, Kole, Aunt Kathy, Uncle Kevin, and I got to meet James, as well as Megan's boyfriend, Zach.
Family is SO cool. Anyway, come see me! I may be studying some of the time you're here, but we'll take some time to get some good food and sights in.
Love to ALL! ^_^

I thought you and Bryan already lived in "harmony" -- glad to hear that you are in your own home in Harmony, PA!
I'm so happy to see you up-and-blogging again. I have missed the Petrak Family! Congratulations on your little farmhouse. When do we get to see pictures? At LEAST post a picture of Steve-o and Horace.
How great for you! I'm really excited that you are out in your own house now. Was that in the works when you were here, or did it just spring up? Speaking of such, don't you love that spring water! A note of caution though...make sure you have it tested before your imbibe. It can taste and smell wonderful and still have a few bugs. Trust me! I love you guys and we enjoyed your visit sooo much.
I meant "before you imbibe". Sorry.
Glad to see a new post from ya! And good to hear all is going well. I miss you, Kristi-girl!
Sounds fun, Kristi. So glad you and Bryan are doing well.
Aww ... out on a farm! My kind of place! Sorry I missed your call the other day. Tomorrow and Saturday are pretty laid back if you want to try again around your work/school schedule!
That's so exciting! And we definitely need pictures. :) I'm glad you can enjoy the country minus ticks (yes, I remember them well). I hope we actually get to visit in person before too long!
Oh, I can't wait to see pictures too. Your mom has been telling me about your place from your descriptions to her. Sounds very peaceful.
Kristi, it was SO VERY GOOD to talk to you on the phone. Thanks for calling. Papaw is feeling much better and things are improving for him.
I am excited about your new abode, and would LOVE to come see you! We also look forward to your coming back to AR and see us as well. We hope you have a wonderful school year and can finish your degree in a couple of years.
Love you,
Mamaw
