We are moving!

Yes, I know...I've been extremely slack with updating our blog lately! And, a lot of very exciting things have happened. I am convinced July & August will always be exciting months for the Tingens!

Last July, we were just a few weeks out from our wedding, we had our bachelor/bachelorette parties, and we painted/fixed up (I had to take the 'bachelor' feel out of it) our new 'home' together on College Avenue...and, in August, we were married!!! I can't believe it has almost been a year. My goodness, time flies! It's been the best year of my life!

This July, we sold our house on College Avenue (which happened within 5 days of mentioning it was for sale, without a sign in the yard) and three days after we sold ours, we bought a new house in Club Colony. We are so excited!!! Don't get me wrong, I love our house on College...it will always be our first house together as husband and wife, but I am so happy about our new home. I now have lots of storage and two bathrooms!!! Our new house is on the golf course, which Joseph is thrilled about! We move in two weeks! Ahhh! So much packing to do...

I will post pictures of our new house just as soon as I can take some!

Okay, so now I have more exciting news...Tom (my brother) and Sara are engaged!!! He gave her a diamond on July 2nd. It was such an exciting night! He planned for everyone to be at her mom's house and she had no clue. Her dad flew in from Montana on Wednesday night, my parents drove in on Thursday afternoon, and Joseph and I hurried down right after work on Thursday. It was a perfect night and they are both so happy!

Honestly, who would have thought that all three of the Gore children would have been married within 18 months (Tom and Sara said they were thinking February...not sure though, maybe March) or 19...I was married in August, McCrae got married in April to a fabulous girl---Stacey, who keeps McCrae straight, and now Tom will be married sometime in the next few months! And, being the youngest of the three, I was the first to be married!!! Crazy how things work out! What an amazing year it has been for our family...maybe next July or August Joseph and I will have more exciting news!!! Who knows!
