Where have we been?

Well the last two weeks seem like a whirl wind. We packed, moved our stuff to storage, moved ourselves to a friend's house, and started renovating my Mom's house so that we can move in with her.

Packing and moving were the pits. I know they are always the pits but really this just sucked. We rented a trailer that was suppose to hold a 2-3 bedroom house worth of stuff (according to their website and the guy at U-haul). We also rented a storage unit that was suppose to hold a 2-3 bedroom house. Also we were suppose to be done moving by 3pm that day. Well when we went to go pick up the trailer we thought it looked kinda small the the guy assured me everything would fit. When we got to the house to start loading I was sure it would not all fit and we would be making two trips. I was really trying to avoid that because the drive from Keller to Red Oak is over an hour. If I had known I would have just paid the extra money and rented a big truck to make one trip. So we load up as much as we can and drive to the storage unit. Um, there is no way all of our stuff will fit in the one storage unit! So we have to rent another one. Sigh. So we finally were done moving at 11pm at night. The baby was very tired and cranky, Bob and I were also tired and cranky and we still had to go back the next day and move the fish tank to my brother's house and clean the house. Well lets say that I am glad that is over!

We are currently staying with very good friends while we fix up my mom's house and make it baby ready. We are enjoying our time here and Abigail loves their daughter Kira. She wants to do everything with her. Mom's house is coming along. She had new carpet installed this week and we will finish painting the bedrooms this weekend. Then all we have left is painting the hall and bathroom, all the trim in the house, and installing vinyl flooring. Man I'm already tired just typing that out.

Bob has had a lot of interviews and is getting a lot of hits on his resume but no job yet. We are praying that it happens soon. I have a job prospect and I feel very positive about it. I will know more next week. In the mean time thank goodness for tax refunds and small children. :)

I promise to get some pictures uploaded soon. Got to find the cables that go to the camera. Got to love moving and losing everything.
