Sunday we will celebrate Hailey's 14th birthday at the park with messy games. It's going to be a lot of fun. Then it is strictly business for the next month packing and visiting with old friends and new to say good byes and swap email and snail mail addresses. This is a picture of friends Hailey will be leaving behind. I know she has been blessed to get to know them and hope they will all stay in touch.

I started my first online class today and I must say, it is way different from what I thought it would be. Lots of work and I am going to have to be very strict with my schedule to make sure I get everything done on time. The good news though is that I finally have a Thursday night off and will have for the next two months. The first time in over 2 years!! Yes! I wouldn't know what to do with myself except for the fact that I have lots of packing and other things to keep me busy. Lucky me!!!

Tomorrow is my last working day. I am both sad and happy about it. Sad to be leaving such an awesome group of people and happy because it means we are that much closer to getting our move over with. As it is I have found good enough reason to get myself and the girls moved two weeks earlier than we planned. If anyone would like to come paint some rooms, let me know. You are more than welcome to help.

The Waiting is Over

Its the house in the SW/SE for sure. Guess I will be doing a lot of driving. 

Oh well! At least I finally know where I am going to live now!

Yippee for me!

Sad :(

I am sad. I had an argument with the hubby and I feel very alone tonight. (Stress I am sure.)

So I have 6 days left of work. Four of them this week, three of them next week. And my last class at the campus is this Thursday. I change to online classes after that. Change is creeping in and stress is mounting up slowly without a sound. 

I took a walk tonight. It was dark and all up hill. Kind of like how I feel about tonight. 

Well, enough of that crap. I'm going to bed...

Wigidy Wigidy Whack!

Okay, so let me lay it out for ya...

...we have a house in the SW that we put an offer on, and our offer was accepted. Whooo! We have a house! It was one of many offers out there but the only one to get accepted. 

Well, we got the papers to sign on this house on Friday and while I was trying to figure out how our furniture would go in it, Shad's sister sent us some info on a house in the NW. I kind of ignored it because after all, we have a house! Don't we?

Well, last night Shad had his sister running out to look at this house in the NW and taking pictures of it. "Just in case" was his excuse. I just kept planning for our move to the SW.

Now, today I get a call from Shad telling me he put an offer on the house in the NW! The house we have not even walked in and looked at. We have no idea what it looks like inside, we have no idea about anything except it is in the NW and has a pool, and Shad just put in a huge offer on it. 

Am I the only one here that sees the insanity of all of this? 

Attack of the Squirrels!!!

Hailey was up in her room and glanced out of the window (which happens to have a huge tree in front of it) and saw a squirrel. Then she saw another one, and another. A total of three were playing around and trimming branches. She managed to grab the camera and get a few great shots. Above is one of them. The dog must have been taking a nap because usually she is sitting at the base of the tree looking up and keeping watch for them. This is the kind of stuff I will miss when we move to Vegas. (By Sept 15 for those who were wondering.) 

Speaking of our move. We had an offer accepted in the SW part of town on a house we liked. We are currently trying to decide if we want to go ahead with it or keep looking. It's a bit stressful to say the least but either way we will figure it out. In the mean time, anyone want to visit and help with the packing? :B

Fun Times!

So, as promised here are a few photos from the fun time at the fair. Hailey touched a millipede (Eewwww!) and Mackenzie drew a clown. EXCITING stuff! We might just drive up here next year just for this event.
