Fall is here my favorite time of year. It has been a beautiful rainy day. We have been here a month and so far kids are doing great. Who would have thought MOM would have had the hardest time moving. Mom who always thought being a military brat and moving was cool. But we are in a very beautiful part of the US. I do not mind the rain...we are excited for snow...will let you know if after the long winter if SNOW is still something I enjoy.

With the new facebook changes I think I will post pictures here instead. Just before we moved I was teaching clinicals and really loved teaching new nursing students but to continue I have to get my nursing masters and so since life has brought many new adjustments I will be going back to school for nursing masters and eventually np. Just hate how much school costs and I will be paying back til I die but I really want to do this.

Marielle will be starting cheer camp and she is excited. McKenna would like to start archery classes so I am looking for those for her. I want to find a photography and editing class for me.

I do like being a SAHM but I need to better manage my time. I realized that I watch to much TV BUT after reading others who have decided to stay home I am finding that for about a month of TV is normal. Honestly it has just been the past few days that I am sleeping on eastern time zone.

Moving has taught me one thing....this earth is beautiful and varied. Courage does not mean that things go your way. Don't forget whats important your family and making every day count.

Month in the NEW Place

We are doing well. The kids LOVE the new area...we agree that we would bring all our friends here.

House well lets just say the ones who took the stimulus and is suppose to help even when you meet comps....well plan B.

I am enjoying being a SAHM....finally getting on a sleep schedule where I don't want to sleep all day long. Ready for the house ties to be gone.......I really like living in the EAST there are tons of things we miss but over all we are adjusting.

Mechanicsburg PA

Well we are here and so far the girls love it.

We miss our friends from Henderson but look forward to making new friends also.

McKenna LOVES LOVES LOVE Eagleview Middle School and Marielle loves Greenridge.

Mom neeed to get better on taking and posting pictures.

We were able to do fall shopping and had so much fun meeting new friends.

Conquered a FEAR

Well I still have not made it jumping off a diving board but I can jump into the deep end finally. Next working on swimming to the side and then I can jump off the diving board.

Five more days and the vacation begins.

Seven More Days and We are on our Way

I have the best sister. She has come to help. And take home a few things that we could not fit.
She helps me get through the move and keeps saying its ok. Its hard to have to move from your dream house. Hard to give up on how you thought life should be. But you keep going forward.

And when we are back with my dad and others someday my sister deserves a spot in the celestial kingdom for how kind and caring she is. She gives and gives and never asks for anything in return. Life has not been easy and she deserves so much better.

We love her.

14 Days

Well the countdown is officially on for heading to Mechanicsburg, PA.
We will be in Utah for a few days ....then Winter Quarters.....Nauvoo.....Columbus and Shopping and then Mechanicsburg.

No news about the house just yet, but the person in charge seems optimistic.

I still wish I could take my house with me BUT as a good friend reminded me and I remind myself daily. This is just a MOMENT in time.

Another friend said YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT and come out stronger in the end.

So as the days tick down more and more stuff given away or tossed on garbage day. And thy will that what ever happens with the house will be the best for the family in the long run.

16 More Days

Well the days are winding down and our new life begins. Kids are excited. Next few weeks full of donation vans and good byes.
