...and I haven't taken any pics yet.
...and there's still a few boxes.
...and I decided to blog even though I have no clue what I'm going to say.
I'm still here.
The kiddos are (hopefully) adjusting.
Brandon has a job prospect. (Cross your fingers for him please.)
I think I really like Orem.
Yeah, that's all I've got, and I need to get going again. I promise there will be pics soon. And I hope there will be jobs soon. And blogging will become a more regular thing again. Soon. :p
Hugs!

not there yet
Ok, so we're still cleaning carpets at the old place and still unpacking here. When the rooms there were all full of stuff I underestimated the amount of carpets we had needing cleaning over there. And of course, all of that same stuff is taking awhile to get unpacked, put away & organized here.We're all working on it though.
This place is so much prettier, I really like our new landlord and Kirsten Brandon & I found a great walking/biking/running neighborhood close by.
We're still looking for jobs, so please keep us in your prayers.
The kiddos started school yesterday. The little boys had fun & Kirsten cried a bunch. (She didn't have the best day. Hopefully B days will be better/have nicer classmates.) No new friends yet for any of them, but hopefully that'll change.
K, time to get back to work. Not loving the clutter of boxes needing unpacking. :p
/squishes!!

boxes everywhere
Well, I think we're mostly moved at this point. Most of our stuff is at the new place & we slept here last night. I have to go back tomorrow to the old place and clean the carpets & take care of the last of the odds & ends. I want that place as sparkly as possible. :p
Here we're still surrounded by boxes. I'll have that fixed before the end of the day. I'm loving this place so far. Everything works (2.5 baths and central air - woohoo!) & it's prettier imho.
I will take pics today as I unpack & organize, then figure out how to get 'em uploaded. I'm just on the laptop, using Vern's blackberry as a modem, and my phone's camera might be what I end up using, but there will be pictures! No internet until Thursday. Less than a week - I think we'll survive. :p
So yeah, I really just wanted to check in here and say we survived 90% of the move. We'll finish up & by the end of the week life should start settling down & we'll discover the new normal. Exciting stuff!
If you're a praying type please pray that I'll be able to find a job quick. Brandon too.
Have a great day!

still eating cake
It's been the worst kind of yucky headache-y day for me so far, but...
Today is my Kirstie Leigh's 14th birthday! And yes, we really are still eating yummy chocolate birthday cake. Mmmmm...
We're headed to Kirsten's new school to pick up her schedule, and to Vern's school to get his financial aid stuff updated. Very exciting stuff. :p Here's hoping that somewhere in there I'll be able to make Kirsten feel special & loved. She so is. She's so very beautiful and talented. I'm proud of my chicka and who she is and where she's headed. Like lots of monkeys her age, she just bursting with potential & I'm so excited to see where she goes with it. I love you Kirsten. Be awesome! I love you!

birthday cake for breakfast
Okay, so it freaks me out just a little that my oldest child is 20 years old. But he is. Today! Happy birthday Brandon!
My B is such an awesome young man with so much going for him. I'm totally excited to see him finally getting the chance to do something for himself - to move forward with his life. He just wants a job for now, and has some travel plans - but he's hoping to land in AZ and go to school there. I think it's a great choice and am so proud of him.
I love you Brandon! Hope you have an awesome birthday, and an even more fabulous year ahead. I'm so totally cheering you on. :-)
I have to dig out an old picture or two for his post - sorry no ps yet. :p
I love you! Happy birthday!

a day late
...for my own birthday post. :p
...and I don't even have a picture.
But yeah - happy birthday to me!!! There will be the annual picture coming as soon as I can.
Sorry I've been slacking when it comes to posting here of late in general. It's just that, as I was saying the last time I posted, things are totally cRazy around here. We are moving on the weekend of the 20th! To Orem. Practically right next to Vern's school. It's super-convenient to everything retail. Like, yeah - everything. :p
So, as you can imagine, I am really busy trying to get things done - cleaning, packing, looking for a job... yeah. Fun stuff! :) But we'll have our high speed internet up quick, the dust will settle from this crazy whirlwind and I'll be back to blogging on a regular basis. I really do need to get some form of PS up and running asap, first of all for Kori & Ryan, who have been patient while their pictures have been held hostage by my horrible working-computer-luck, as well as for the ability to be picture happy here again. Just like old times. Blogging just isn't the same without pictures. Life isn't the same without me taking pictures. :p I'll have some catching up to do. :)
Meanwhile, a big thank you to those of you who remembered I turned another year older today, and a great big squishy hug to all of you people out there who I love and miss so much when life gets going all tornado-like on me.
Smile!
