Welcome To The Neighborhood

You are looking at our driveway at 181 Stewart Drive.
It's happening! Things are slowly, but surely, moving along. The county has assigned our address. We are having the erosion control study completed and the excavator has been hired. We may be breaking ground in two weeks! Cousin Rob Bradford will be coming up in a few weeks to help too.
Everyone here has been incredibly friendly and have welcomed us into the neighborhood with open arms. I told Steve we need to get a new address book to keep track of all of the new phone numbers we keep getting. there is no shortage of activities either. I just found out that Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday we have water aerobics, for free. Along with the golf:
Tuesday: AM-Men's skin game. PM-Tuesday Night Neighbors, followed by dinner
Wednesday: AM-Stoneridge Women's Golf Club, PM-Ladies of the Evening
Thursday: Stoneridge Men's Club.
There's also a traveling Women's & Men's Golf league that plays 3-4 times a month.
3 mornings a week at 6am I could attend "Boot Camp" which is a high impact workout. I don't know if my knees will be able to manage that one.
As Stoneridge adds more homes, the developer has given each neighborhood a name. But the residents have dubbed the neighborhoods with their own. Those in the "Motor Coach RV Park" are lovingly referred to as the "trailer trash". (Even though the average price of the RV's on those $60M pads may cost more than our new home.)
The "Vineyard Town homes" are the "projects" and here in the "Fairway Meadow Condos" it's known as the "slums".

Then we did a little shopping:

Our New 2009 Subaru Forrester: check out the license plate.
Since we had to register the new car today, we decided to transfer the registration on the truck and get our new driver's licenses. We are officially Idahoans. We've only been here two weeks and Steve already looks like a local.
