The Truth Comes Out....
Spoke to the previous owners of my property last night and basically this cowboy who rides his cattle through my yard is a total dick. He has something against women. Obviously as when I asked him what the hell he thought he was doing, he gave me his phone number and said for me to have my HUSBAND call him! Got news asshole, you're going to have to deal with me as there is no husband. The bad part is, I am a lot more difficult to deal with.
So according to the previous owners, Mr. Cowboy asked for their permission to use the land when they moved in nine years ago. New owner, new rules. Previous owner also told me where there is another trail that would allow him access to his property, I do not have to allow him access to mine. I am putting a lock on the gate. He cuts it off, I call the police. Simple as that. There are signs posted, private property no trespassing, the fence is closed, and locked. I rest my case!
We will see what happens from there.
Wish me luck!

Cows
So if you read my first post, you understand about my cow dilemma. I have had cattle crossing my West field, three times now. What can I do about it you may ask? That's just it! I can't do a damn thing! At least that is what I'm told....
The realtors claim they knew nothing....but the sellers and the title company can be proven to be at fault...
Obviously the sellers knew of my "little" cow problem as they previously lived here and let's face it, there is no way you can miss one cow, let alone a whole herd. Ironically enough, this was not disclosed in the seller disclosures. Hmmm....I think somebody had a fubar!
The title company only came up with two areas of easement. None of which were the cattle easement or nearly as large as said cattle easement. "We don't go that deep" They tell my mom. Dude, that is your job! You should go that deep, deeper in fact....
So what now you may ask?
Well for starters, I file a claim against my title company (thank gods for title insurance!). From there we decide what would be "fair". Where the land that the cattle is being driven over is essentially useless to me, as I can't do anything with it for there will be cows crossing twice a year, I feel I should be compensated for the loss of the land I paid for. Seems fair to me. I also believe a fence should be erected approx. twenty feet from the original fence to keep the cattle contained. Seriously, what makes this cowboy think it's ok to drive his cattle through the CENTER of my property?! Have some respect asshole! Get your cattle as close to the fence as possible to minimize damage to my land!
I will keep you updated as to what happens with the cows. If my mom had her way, ya'll would be getting cow for Christmas! You do the packaging, we'll take care of the slaughter.
While I appreciate her form of justice, I don't believe it's very practical....oh well.....

Life in the Fast Lane....
It's been a crazy ride this past couple of months! To refresh....
1. May 1st, Graduated as a Registered Nurse
2. June 12th, NCLEX RN
3. June 22nd, First job as an RN
4. July, no more public assistance for me!
5. August, decide it's time to be a big girl and buy my own home.
6. August, must buy new car before new home....long story....
7. September, decide it would be best to move in with Mom until house purchase is complete (saves rent).
8. September, decide I love my mommy and want her to live in my new home with me. (Saves both of us money.)
9. September, somewhere near the end, find a list of goals written before starting LPN year, realize I have successfully completed all of my goals (save for marriage which lets face it, probably not gonna happen) and some of which before their deadlines!
10. October under contract on my cute little home with lots of property.
11. October 28th, papers signed, officially a home owner. Being in debt, it's the American way.
12. October 29th, I got my keys! First night in my new house all by myself (probably last time that will
happen for a very long time....sigh....)
13. October 30th & 31st, move in all the boys', mine, and my mom's things.
14. Did I mention the giant cowdog we got? Yeah well WOW!
Ok well that should get you to the most recent happenings...I am still loving my job. I DESPISE unpacking and finding a home for everything. I have made a vow that I will NEVER move again! My mom isn't allowed to either. I have plenty of land so we will just build on!
Now that we are refreshed....here is what has happened the last few days with my wonderful home.
1. Yeah there are 2+ CAT5 connections in every room of my house, but is there a goddamn phone jack?! What about a cable connection?! Are you serious?!
2. Holes have been drilled, I now have Dish Network. Thank gods! I wouldn't know what to do without my DVR'd TrueBlood!
3. Spiders....lots....basically everywhere.....thank gods for vaccuum cleaners with extensions! I have vaccuumed many a spider, and now my home is spiderless. Ortho man, I will be calling!
4. Mud....Boys love it....mom not so much....
5. Yeah so I come home after a weekend of moving to find....drumroll please....I herd of cattle crossing the road by my home. At first I think "oh, cute little cows, how sweet" and then I see the cows in my side yard! So NOT cute any longer! Must remember to bring big gun to new house.....
6. Oh yeah, so my realtor, the title company and the previous owner conveniently "forget" to mention that my 1.85 acres of property is home to a historic cattle trail! Meaning I cannot kill the cattle on my land, and that I have to let them through. (More on this later!)
7. Must file claim against title insurance.
8. Yay! The dishwasher leaks! Thank gods for home insurance!
Wow! Life has definitely reached the fast lane! How do I get back over? :) Nah, just kidding I am loving how my life is going, the boys are happy, I am happy, and life is generally happy, a bit more fast paced, but it'll slow eventually....right?
