Apologies

Yes I know I have been absent for a LONG time....
A few things have happened along the way.
  • Sadly, I was laid off in May.  Trying to find a new job has been challenging and unsuccessful so far.  With that has been added stress, anxiety, and sleepless nights.  So adjustments to our new situation, and new plans for the future are coming together.  It was our choice to not relocate to Atlanta and we are happy with that decision...I'm just happier with a paycheck. :)
  • Secondly - we put our house on the market.  That is a lot of cleaning if you have seen our toy stash!  So the rest of May/June has been filled with boxing up items for garage sales, goodwill, and storage.  The house is still for sale - so if you know anyone looking for a great family home let me know!
  • When the house sells we will be moving to Auxvasse to live in the "shouse".  Accepting that reality has been a challenge for me.  However it's the best decision financially to get us in a position to build a house which is the ultimate goal.  We have a lot a great plans for the farm and being out there will help us spend more time making them happen.  Plus having the opportunity to be more active in the school district will be nice and get to know our Auxvasse neighbors better.
  • We took a family vacation.  Well the girls and I did, Tim met up with us later as he was fishing in WI.  Survival mode was in full effect with 3 weeks of quality girl time with our babysitter going on vacation, our vacation, and then vacation bible school.  It actually went very smoothly and we had a lot of fun in all of our adventures.
So now it's back to business and hopefully updating you with all the wonderful family photos we have that I finally downloaded from my phone.....smartphones could be the end of computers.....

So I promise to catch you up on things, and get back to blogging more regularly.  Probably not as much as our lives are in transit to a new beginning but I'll keep you posted.....
