new stuff...i tell ya

It's kind of weird being home owners. I can't believe how stressed out I made myself this morning before all 2,139 pages were signed this morning. LOL. I was literally sick to my stomach and nauseated and then went to the bank for an hour and signed my life away as well as my first born and then I was fine. =] hahahahaha! It was pretty funny. I've been more stressed out lately than ever and in the middle of packing up a bookshelf I came across a letter from my mom the last month of my mission. She asked me if I was stressed (since I'm such a fan of change) and then told me to lighten up and think of it as an adventure. Hello!! I could just picture her saying that to me too. It was a bittersweet moment. Anyway, it was a good little piece of advice brought to my remembrance again...............

................ok, Benjamin came in and did a little session of "who's on first, what's on second" with me and I lost my train of thought as well as lost a few inches on my fuse...heehee. Anyway, Theron got to see the house for the first time today. He'd never seen the inside. Talk about going on faith that my dad and I knew what we were talking about. ha! He liked it a lot and is excited to get in and make it home. The missionaries tracted into our house while I was hanging out with my folding chairs (for soccer and tball games) for furniture and will let the ward know we moved in. I guess we can't go into hiding this year...totally kidding. (wink wink) =] We'll be offline for about a week though so when we come back I'll have some new pictures. So I'll catch ya'll on the flip side. lol

state of shock...haha

WE GOT THE HOUSE! I'm so excited! We take possession of the house the 25th of this month. Crazy! So now the dejunking begins and the packing then the cleaning. I used to be a pro at all of that with how often we moved around there for a while. Now that we've been in the same town for the past 4 years I'm a little rusty...hahahahaha! Maybe it's like riding a bike and it will all come back. LOL! My dad is pretty excited as well. He'll be moving in with us and out of the house he's been living in with his sister and her husband. The kids start school at their new school on Tuesday and it's a half hour commute one way....fun fun. The school is only two blocks from our new house so it can't get better than that. They can walk and be there in like 5 minutes. Woohoo!

...that's how the wind blows. =]

Hello everybody! This is a new thing that I've been hearing from all over that I ought to try. So here we are! :) Life is crazy as always. We've been looking off and on for a place big enough for our family. A family of 8 (plus my dad) isn't always the easiest thing to house comfortably. We stumbled across a house that seems almost too perfect to be true for all of us (knock on wood). It's 5 bedrooms and another one could easily be made up for a 6th and garage space, yard space, a DISHWASHER!!, lots of very cool things. I'm so excited. The only bummer....serious bummer too....is that it's not in Cowley. It's half an hour away in Greybull. So it's better than moving a state away from our friends here. Keep your fingers crossed with us.
