Things That Go Toot in the Night

Well, we have survived a week in the heat- we are still alive! All of our stuff finally showed up Friday night. We were given a window of between 1 and 5 of when it would show up. 6:30 it finally showed up. Good thing I sat in an empty house afternoon.... Anyways, Saturday my dad and Uncle Warren came and helped us get everything unloaded (huge thanks to both of them!). So we are now getting semi-settled in our little rental house. We are trying to unpack as little as possible since it's only until we buy a house. The rental is pretty good-probably the best we've had in our married life. Pretty clean and enough room. There's just one problem-just over the backyard fence we have tracks-railroad tracks to be exact. The train comes by a few times a day, and every night we get startled in our sleep and wake up to the sound of the tooting train shaking our house as it goes on by. The other night trains went by twice. I think they purposely wait until they get to our house to whistle. They must know we aren't from here. We've been told we will get used to it.... It just taked a while. Ben and I don't think (or possible hope?) we will be long enough for it to happen. This will be a good place for a little while though. Now if we could just find some of the stuff we need without having to open every box.

Just in case you were dying to see, here are a few pictures from Ben's graduation:
Baylee decided she wanted to graduate too:
