Where to start? hmm...highlights? New car? Colorado?

So much to report.  We got back last night from vacation in Colorado!  It was great and I have lots of stories to tell.

I so wanted to post as we went along, but since I didn't have anyone staying in our house, I didn't feel comfortable broadcasting to the world that we were away!

I've decided to do a review of our trip and let you all know the good, the bad and the ugly!

So stay tuned.

Progress

 Moving is hard. And it has just about done me in! But here is a glimpse at Kylie's room.  Yeah, it is done.  Well, it's not decorated or anything like that, but all cardboard boxes are emptied, it's been cleaned and her toys are put away!

Yay!! Having one room finished helps give me hope that soon the rest of the house will be clean and box free.

Heck, I may even put a picture on the wall just to do it!

The bedrooms are large in this house and it is so nice to get the girls toys put away in their rooms.  If only they toys would stay there.

Over the last few years we have been spoiled having two living areas, and now the girls (and us) are having to adjust to keeping their toys off the couch so that we can sit down.

We have been in the house a week and I am hoping by Friday (today is Tuesday) that I'll have every room put away.

Thanks for giving me a forum for my moving misery. :)

Going Mobile

I'm going mobile.

So, now, if you are on your "mobile device" you can check out my blog in a better format for your phone!

Now, if only I would update my blog more often!

As to the move, we are getting settled, slowly!  Hopefully I'll have an update soon complete with a few pictures :)

Precious Moments

Newsflash.

Life is busy.

I know, shocking.

But in the midst of the everyday nuts, sometimes was have to stop.

Today was one of those days.

Last Thursday we moved out of our house.  Towards the end of the day, I made a frozen strawberry lemonade run and on my way back I passed my mother-in-laws car on the side of the road.. next to an ambulance, a fire truck and two police cars.  I quickly made the block and was able to be there with her just a couple of minutes after she had been hit by another car.

Thankfully she was okay.  Very, very sore and bruised, but okay. 

Today, while we are waiting for our move to the rent house tomorrow, we just rested and talked to Nana. 

Those are truly special moments for us all.  And in the face of all of life's uncertainties, moments like these are truly precious.

Oh my poor sore body!

We loaded the truck yesterday. 

This morning I have to finish cleaning out the house.

Then I'll have the weekend to recover and we will  move everything into the rent house on Monday and Tuesday.

What a way to start the summer.

I'm beat.

But so glad to have loading the truck behind me.

We are currently house-sitting for my parents.  They are in Costa Rica on vacation. 

I am so thankful that I have vacation to look forward to in a couple weeks.

In other news.  I'm going to get me hair cut and highlighted and styled.

This is BIG NEWS! I typically get my hair cut once a year.  With highlights, I'll have to go like regularly or something.

I've decided that I'm ready for grown up hair.

Now, what style? hmm...

If you have any ideas, let me know.  My hair is a little past my shoulder blades, no bangs.
