In the morning of Sunday May 31st, our dog Goosey had 6 little puppies. They were all beautiful little golden retrievers and Goosey was a wonderful mom. They just turned 6 weeks so now they are all with their new owners and we miss having the little puppies around. Actually Daisy loved the little puppies when they were first born but once they turned 5 weeks old they started to run and she didn't like that much. Daisy would go screaming and crying around the yard with 6 little white fluff balls nippin' at her heels. Dusty and I got a pretty good laugh out of it though!Here they are at 2 days old!
Here they are at 3 weeks old sharing nap time with Addie!
This one was my favorite little one... we called him Chubbs
Next Dusty and I have called our property Sleepy Hollow so Dusty set out and did some landscaping. He put 3 boulders that were about 5 ft high at the entrance of our property and then made a sign and welded it into the rock. Then he hooked up some lights to shine on it at night. It turned out looking awesome but then again anything he does always turns out that way! Great job Dusters!
Okay now for something I never thought I would ever have on my "to do" list, let alone checked off! On June 27th, I ran a Mountain to Meadow half-marathon at Lolo Pass, Montana. I have been training with some friends and we went and did it! Dusty came with Addie too, to help and be the babysitter! This was my first race ever and it was STINKIN' HARD! It was uphill for the first 4 miles, at least! And then it was uphill again and again and again! At one point we could see the other runners right above us on the switchback. Trust me, that was not a comforting thought. Anyways I did it and ran the whole 14 gruesome miles! That was our goal... not to walk and we accomplished it! Thanks to my friends Joni, JoAnn, and Travis! My time was 2:21:47 which I was very happy with considering we were at 5600' elevation and the whole thing was practically uphill!! Here are some pictures and a picture of the beautiful meadow we ran by. Addie also got some shots with the mountain men that were present!
Okay now for the biggest news of all! We decided to put our home up for sale, just to see if it would sell and it did! It actually sold in 1 week with more than our asking price. We ended up showing the house 8 times and had 3 offers on it!! The deal ended up being perfect, it was debt free on our side and all cash on the buyer side too, so it went smooth as silk!
So what's next for the Cox Family you ask???
WE DON'T KNOW
yet....
but we do have things in the works... I guess you will just have to stay tuned to find out further details. But one thing for sure we will be leaving the area.... onto another adventure!

ReplyDeleteWOW! That was fun to read! I really should have grabbed some munchies. ;) jk. Your girls are so cute! Getting so big. Way to go on the half marathon! I just ran my first a few months ago, too! As for your house...it's beautiful! How fun to be adventurous, though, and sell it to not know what's coming! Dusty has always been so entreprenuerial. You guys will have fun in whatever you do, I'm sure. Oh yeah, and CUTE puppies.

ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteI have been checking your blog from time to time over the past 6 months and to my surprise this time - it was updated very nicely! :) I just wanted to reach out to you and Dusty and let you know that I think about you often, and miss each of you a lot. You are both so brave to sell your home that you've worked so incredibly hard on. I am sure that everything will work out fine - I have never seen such entreprenurial spirit, determination and hard work as I have seen over and over again with Dusty - and the two of you are perfectly suited for each other! I can't imagine how unahppy and frustrated Dusty would be if he had a wife that was hesitant about each of his great ideas! Well take care, and know that we love you, and miss you alot!!
Kim- Now that you have moved away and no longer have a strenous calling, I'm expecting some consistancy here:) Would love to see your new place and your girls. Missing you.
