Almost there : )

We get to pick up our keys on Friday afternoon, and start moving on Saturday. I can not wait until we get moved in and the kids can have a back yard to play in. My friend told me a few days ago that just when we are getting moved it is going to start getting cold. I told her I will buy them snow suits! I am so looking forward to being able to say "go play in the back yard". I haven't minded apartment life so much, but I will enjoy that fenced in yard. In the mean time our house is insane! We have boxes every where the couch is pushed up 3 ft from the TV so we could fit all the beds behind it. I didn't realize how much stuff we still have until now. The last move was within the apartment complex and it was easy to move a little at a time so I just didn't see all the boxes stacked up like it is now. Doing laundry today then we will move the washer/dryer for easy access on moving day. Thanks to some good friends that are going to help me this week I can get some things out of the way before the trailer comes for the bigger items. The visit with my mom went really good. The kids were so excited to see her, and so was I! We even had mommy's day out and I spent the morning and afternoon out with my mom then the evening out with the hubs. It was just what the doctor ordered!

My mommy is coming!

Today my mom is coming and the kids have no idea. She is going to pick up pizza on the way here and knock on the door like the pizza guy. I am going to tell the kids this afternoon that my back is killing me and I just can't cook! : ) I can't wait.

Moving day is fast approaching

We are moving in 2 weeks from today. I have packed 2 boxes. This is not going very smoothly! lol Really we don't have much stuff, but I need boxes so I can go ahead and pack what we do have. I went through the kids clothes today and filled 2 garbage bags up with give away items. I also managed to get all the pictures off of the walls, and nails out. We managed to empty one shelf on the books shelf and get that packed (thats the 2 boxes). The last couple of moves I made sure we had everything packed the week before the move, but at this rate I don't see that happening. The good thing is that we have an entire month to move all of it out and to clean this place. We are planning to move all the big things on the 2nd and if I have to take little things later then so be it. Hopefully I can get most of the little things moved on the 1st so that moving the big things will be easier. I am just tired of moving. This makes the 3rd move in just over a year. I want to know where we are going to be so we don't have to keep moving. At the same time I find it fun to go to different places. Who knows where we will be in a year, or two...

Sick and moving

Paige and I have been sick for almost a week now. I am tired of feeling yucky! On a good note we are getting the house we were hoping for. Soon we will have a yard for our kids to play in and a cheaper place to live that is nicer than where we are now. Not that we are in something bad now, just expensive for an apartment in this area. We are ready to have a yard again, and be able to sleep at night without hearing people over our heads! Apartment life has not been bad, and we were pretty fortunate to get decent neighbors here. It will be better to have a house with all the amenities of an apartment. We will have an olympic sized pool with slides, and diving boards. We will have really nice parks for the kids to play at without leaving the neighborhood. We will have a lot of home schooling neighbors since we are moving to a military housing unit. We will still have 24 hour maintenance, as well as lawn service. I didn't realize I wanted to live in a house again so much until the chance at it came up. Now I can't wait! Just 3 weeks away now. : )
