Busy April

I am sure some of you have wondered... where I have been. Well busy. I mean, we moved! And it was the most busy move I have ever made. The month of April was insane! We would wake up and start the day about 6 am and never seemed to make it to bed till after 10- with no naps (for me) in between.. and hardly any breathing time!... Thank goodness life has slowed down and we are now settling in!- Or I might have had a major break down.. like life threatening! Not my own life.. but those around me! I was starting to get pretty on edge!
I know 6am isn't that early for some, I myself, usually wake up about 6:30 anyway (thanks to my little one). But don't just start my day.. I stay in P.J's a lot till about 10am.. and all thru out the day have breaks off and on .. where I actually get to sit down and just relax! Not in April.. I seriously went with no stops in between... Even a couple Sundays we had to work, to get things done.
I could hardly sit still, once we got the chance! Here's a small peek at all we had to do- Set up a piece of land, get the trailor over here and put it all together. And then have people come fix walls, fix plumbing, the ac, etc.... Then paint, paint and more painting! Installing new knobs. Packing, moving stuff, getting rid of stuff with a yard sale and then un-packing. Cleaning and Cleaning! And of course we couldn't take off work all month! So we worked too and as soon as were done... went back to work! :) There is so much more.. I would take up way too much space and your reading time with all the details of going back and forth to Home Depot and such though. And I don't want to recall it all!

I am so glad that is over!!! I love April.. I mean I was born that month! But I feel so refreshed now that it is May. Especially since moving wasn't the only problem! I tried some new skin stuff that month as well (skinid)....which well made me break out in a rash all over!!! ERRR! After going thru there.. "Oh your skin is just getting use to it" crap! I threw it all away of course! And well, called the company and complained! I am now finally finding relief with Mary Kay. My skin so loves Mary Kay. As do I!!
Plus you know.. family isn't family with out some drama. - which well that hasn't stopped. And well we still are not done setting up the place. But I am at a point where I can feel moved in! And work at a much slower pace... Especially since we kinda ran out of money.. and have to build it back up a bit, to do anymore... like put in a yard, some front steps, a fence.. etc.... As for now.. I can breath!!!!

Next blog... pics!

SOLD!!!

I am so glad to finally be able to post this!! After months of searching, going to loan place after loan place, checking out all sorts of rentals, real estate, and Trailors..(all the options!) And being totally frustrated, excited then disappointed, discouraged, all of it!... we can finally say; we got it! We have been approved for a home!! I am even now a bit nervous to write this... we have had so many problems come up and I am just so scared.. this wont work out ither (Please keep us in your prayers. :) ) But when I saw the Sold sign on the Trailor, right after talking with the owner, who just congratulated us for getting it, well I can't help but be excited! - That's never happened before! My parents have gifted us some property to put it on.. and we are working on the foundation right now! So if all goes well.. we should be moved in by the first week of April! And I will finally be able to unpack everything!!!!!

Here's the layout of it.. Where it says BR#4- it is really a 2nd living room... Where going to make it a play area for the kids and us!

I'll post some pics as soon as I take them of our New Home and Land! I was way excited that most of it is tape and textured- like a real home! -Instead of the common wall paper you find in Trailors. Its a 2000 and has been totally renovated! I am very excited about that... the only problem no dish washer.. oh well, I guess I'll just be teaching William a new trick.. how to make a dirty dish clean!

You know I would really like to say thank-you to my Aunt Colleen and Uncle Al for letting us rent out their 2br home here in Bloomfield. It was truly a blessing for us! So Thank-you!

And you know for a long time since my parents offered us the land.. I have thought that this was the path we should choose... but fought it.. and well it only led to problems. Once we finally decided to go that direction.. things, well have been falling into place for us. It may not be where we wanted to be.. But we came back here to NM after a whole lot of prayer and contemplation.. and this is the path the Lord choose for us... I guess it was pretty silly of us to want to do it our way.. when after all it was the Lords business having us here. ---Lesson learned!

We had wanted to live in Aztec.. I have always liked that town the best out of this area.. and it would have been close enough to Nate's school and our families.. but also far enough away. :) Well now we will be living right behind my Parents and right beside my brother...lol And that's where we are suppose to be! :) Go figure! :)
