July!!!

Okay...wow....I haven't blogged since July.....a lot has happened since then, where to begin, where to begin.......

Let's break it down from the beginning. Here goes....Lol

July......the kids and I got back from our month long vacation visiting family (halfway across the U.S.) Transitioning back into being at home versus being on vacation for an entire month is always an adjustment!!

Then about a week after we got home my husband get's a job offer about 6 1/2 hours from where we were, but only 1 1/2 hours from our dream location!! Obviously, he accepts.....now we have to find a new place to live and we have 2 weeks in which to do it.....Yikes!!

So....we pack up the kids, drive the 6 1/2 hours to our soon to be new town and begin house hunting.....good lord let me just say, "what a pain in the royal rear end that mess was"!! We had exactly 2 weeks to find a decent rental and move in before my husband was supposed to start working....

Our first trip was in vain, the kids fought the entire time, complained about the long drive (are we there yet, he keeps looking at me, quit touching me, on and on and on it went)for 6 1/2 hours each way....Phew.....

My husband and I decide to call a property management company and go back down by ourselves. Long story short, we chose the best property out of the 7 we had to choose from in the 2 days we had to look. Did we make the right decision? Is this house going to be okay? Is the school a good one? Are the kids going to like it? all these qusetions and more running through our heads we drove the 6 1/2 hours back to start packing.

Meanwhile, the kids are excited but sad, my husbands family is a little sad being as we were within an hour or so of visiting them before the move. Everyone is a little stressed, on edge, etc. and we are packing an entire house in 3 days!! We got it done though.......WooHoo!!

Craziness.....pure craziness......
