welp we moved in...

finally got closed on the house, and "Senior and Jugms moving company" had to go to work...and my Lord, we are still working!!!. Digging through boxes, finding things that have been packed up for 18 months....*Sigh*  But, it is a blessing to be in a place that is all our own......

I think the biggest thing for me is opening the boxes that held all the pictures, Senior has started putting them up on the walls, and its really beginning to feel like home around here.

its been a flurry of  activity all last week with the different service technicians coming in to connect stuff...like the Internet, TV Satellite, and now the gas company is here installing the tank for the gas fireplace and checking all the connections for us.
things though have began to calm down and we are getting back into our groove of daily life. This is the view from my new kitchen window: 

 

 Jack the Cat, who at first was not so sure about the place, has finally relaxed and loves his new digs and all the space he has to roam now... 

 

Now begins the daunting task of cleaning out my father in laws trailer that we called home for the past year and a half. We are trying to downsize the furniture that is in there, donate some stuff, sell some stuff and clean the place up.  One of our neighbors has offered to come by and paint the exterior for us, and I tell ya what, it needs it.

In other news..Little league is here, and NW is excited to be back behind the plate catching, not sure where ND will end up , but being that he is  a lefty he did quite well at 1st. I just hope they continue to love the sport like they do now. I want them to enjoy what they do and have fun at it..

A New Chapter

As most of my followers who follow my sweet husband "Senior" already know. We made the decision to move up to the Carolina Estate.

Was it hard?  You betcha! It was a year of praying, and weighing all our options. It was a year of Senior applying for jobs up and down the eastern seaboard, with the only nibbles coming from the Charlotte area. 90 + applications and resumes submitted ..only a small handful of responses. But in the end he landed something in Charlotte. Thus the cement for our new foundation was laid.

The boys and I were already up here for the summer so, it was a matter of having school transcripts sent from Florida so they could get enrolled. The first day was today.

Was it a good decision? Well with all that is going on in the world, we believe so. Only time will tell though. But here, we have more room. We no longer answer to a Home Owners Association, we can put what we want in our yard without worrying about getting a letter. The Florida house is still there. it is now a rental.  A snooty coast guard family is our tenant--if they get a letter it is on them. The monthly rent covers the mortage and they set up auto pay so we are happy.
Here we have a 14 row garden, and the workings of my new chicken coop. Our Buddy Mr. Farmer's grandson in law has a incubator and is going to give me some babies in the next few weeks. A new venture that I can't wait for...isn't motherhood grand?  Ha Ha


So we have arrived!...a new place, new faces,  a new life, and new adventures to blog about...... 

However with all the new stuff..some stuff will never change: like me running late for the school car line.  I'm outta here
