We are getting ready to move and we can't wait





We are getting really excited about moving.....


Today was a such a busy, but productive day! I took my camera to the house, but snap, I forgot to take pictures- we are going over there again tomorrow- so I will take some pics then and post

It feels so good to sort, purge, recycle, donate and give away.... I have a tendency to hold onto things and I really need to simplify... but that goes against how I was raised and my natural tendency I like things.... I can't help it- but over the past 2-3 years I have learned to let go.... Always a work in progress

This new place of ours is not huge and storage will be at a premium, but that is ok- I need to get use to it

This new place has a small but very cute backyard and I am excited - it has a little planter box and I may just plant tomatoes.... not sure if I will get in on that too late though.... E told me I better hurry and get them planted Our new landlord even planted 3 roses for me- how nice!!!

well here are some recent Easter pics and fun I will add more tomorrow of the new place!

the adventure continues.......











so here we are ..... the adventure continues.... we are in the midst of trying to locate a new homestead... we knew where we currently live was temporary and even our next stop on the route will not be permanent, but really, what is????? the GusBus carries on and we are planning our next phase .....

Who would have thought the demand for rental homes would be so great- but I guess with the current economic issues, people are not buying..... we aren't buying, but waiting.... waiting it out a little longer

I am just looking for more space, more time at home, less commute, a "homier" place...... quite frankly, I am tired of hearing the old man upstairs bag his old lady........ but hey, that is something else all together! we are hoping we have found a place.... keep your fingers crossed

I am looking forward to unloading the giant storage unit we have been occupying too- geez, stuff just ties ya down!!!! Some of it is memories, things I would never get rid of.....but some of it, I am thinking I could unload......

we have been busy little bees around here...... school is winding down, J just had his 6th B day! WOW!!!!! O is growing and now is "big boy preschool room" I received an email from J's teacher that he is reading at a level 9 ( to "pass" kindergarten, you have to be at a level 2) He loves to read and so we have to keep that momentum going this summer......

well here are recent pics of the latest activities....
