Pow! Pow!

So this weekend we went to the gun range (my first time!) and Ben taught us all how to aim and shoot. I shot his 9mm Beretta handgun (talk about kick!) I felt like a real cop (in cute capris and hot pink...but a cop none the less!) We helped Max shoot his little 22 single shot, which he got down like a pro. He loved uncocking it and making the bullet shell shoot out and then gazed at the smoke coming out of the barrell. He said it's a "cowboys gun, mom". He was serious the whole time! Sam shot his 22 also and was really good hitting the target close to the bullseye. I shot Ben's 22 250 rifle and that has power too. Overall it was a great trip to the range for my first time and I'm kinda anxious to go back! It sure is different growing up with all boys, but it's my life....and I love it!

Ok....

I've never done this before, but this should be fun! I'm starting a blog so that I can keep family, friends and people we love up to date on our crazy hectic lives here in Detroit Michigan!

For those of you who don't know, Ben is a 3rd year orthopedic surgery resident at Botsford Hospital in Farmington Hills, MI and is loving it. He graduated from LECOM medical school in Erie, PA in 2007 and we moved here. We have 3 more years to go and he'll be done!

I am an Executive Mortgage Banker with Quicken Loans and I help people in all 50 states purchase and refinance their homes. I love it and have learned a lot about this crazy economy and the housing market we're in.

Our boys are 10 (Sam) and 6 (Max) and are enjoying school, sports and their new friends here in Michigan. They've been moved around quite a bit, but are doing so great adjusting and their happy and positive attitudes make me grateful.

I'll try to keep everyone up to date on events, news and daily life here at the Farr household. Feel free to drop by, say hi and help me on my blog!
