We are finally moved it, however there are boxes still stacked throughout the house and many little projects to start. We can't thank the crew of family that came down to help us move enough. Special shout out to each of you.....Mom, Dad, Chris, Ginger, Conor, and of course Amanda.....Thank you!!!
Amanda after busting her butt to move us in!We are both thrilled that we have our first home and seem to be making the adjustment from apartment life to home ownership just fine. Both Oliver and Kingsley seem to love the fact that there is a lot more house to explore and Kingsley definitely loves the fact that he can chase the tennis ball back and forth across the yard.
Oliver exploring the top of our 42" cabinets in the kitchenWe've already experienced our first appliance malfunction when the dishwasher decided it didn't want to work Becky. Kingsley, being the always watchful and vigilant watchdog, jumped when water and soap started to cascade out of the dishwasher. After cleaning up the mess and draining the little bit of water that was standing in the basin a phone call was made to the home warranty people. Four days later the appliance repair dude discovered a small clog had lodged itself in the drain as it drains into the garbage disposal, several minutes later, it was fixed.
This month has been filled with NASCAR related events. May 11th marked the Grand Opening of the NASCAR Hall of Fame. It was a promise the construction team made to the Owners nearly 3 years ago, and they came through on that promise. So Lee got to go tot he Grand Opening and rub elbows with some big time stars. Probably the most important person (especially to all Redskins fans) Lee got to meet was Coach Joe Gibbs. Coach Gibbs was very gracious to even take a few moments for a picture.

We also spent an evening at the Time Warner Cable Arena to see the 2010 Pit Crew Challenge. It was an awesome time and in the end, the #11 FedEx Team won! After the event was over, Lee was able to slip past security and get down on the floor to meet and take a picture with his favorite NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin (#11 FedEx).
Final Heat - Go FEDEX!
Celebration!

Finally, we had some of Lee's family come down to visit us last weekend. Bob, Robin, Juli, and Logan (the dog) drove all night to get here in enough time for us to spend time with them before heading off to the All-Star Race. That's right; Becky and Lee have finally gone to their first race! Outside of it being hot and humid, we had a blast! Becky enjoyed the people watching, and got to experience the absolute definition of the term "Red Neck" that day..........only comment is OMG! The weekend was capped off by attending the Inaugural Induction of the 2010 NASCAR Hall of Fame. Some of the coolest features of the Induction was getting to walk the "red carpet" and seeing the inductees rings featuring the ribbon (the ribbon is the part of the Hall of Fame that Lee managed during the construction process and takes great pride in).
Enjoying our first race
