About 2 months ago my husband got a job down in St. Louis. He started at it about a month ago and stays down there during the week and comes home on the weekends. That means I'm left to care for 2 dogs, 2 cats, 5 lizards and 34 snakes all on my own. WHEW!!

At first we were going to rent but when we saw the cost we decided to see if we could buy. I'm happy to report that the sellers of a 3 bed, 2 bath ranch in Belleville (suburb on the IL side) accepted our offer this weekend! It'll be so nice to have our own place with no worries of landlords! Of course, one of the bedrooms will be a snake room.

Look for me to update my location sometime at the beginning of July!! (Anyone wanna come help me move!? LOL)
