Know what's HI in the middle...

corny I know! ;) I'm blogging from Ohio. This state rocks. Seriously. Nice people. VERY clean. Lots of neat places and cities. I almost could live here.

We are heading over through IN and IL today. Two new states for me and the boys!

We are having fun on our trip. We even saw snow yesterday in PA!

Just a tiny update. Everyone have a great weekend!

Can you believe Thanksgiving is now less than a week away?! YIKES!

Update

Hi! We are here in TLF (on base lodging)...have been since Thursday. We had an easy housing insepection after Nathan and I worked our butts off cleaning! Glad to be out from under that. We are hanging out with friends, having lots of get-togethers, going to lots of our favorite places before we head out for good on Thursday.

We had a wonderful dinner with our dear friends, Beth and Ian tonight. She made her famous chicken tortilla soup. :) I'm going to miss Beth and her family like crazy. I get emotional thinking about it...mainly for Jonathan and Nathan. They are such best friends. Of course I'll miss Beth, but like she said tonight, we'll still be able to communicate (alot!), but it's harder for the boys...their relationship is so much about interaction and play. Beth if you are reading...thanks for everything. I'm SO grateful for your friendship.

Jonathan has two more days of school and Seth has one. It's going to be hard of course saying goodbye to their teachers and friends, but they are so excited about moving. Amazingly so and I'm glad. Everytime Jonathan prays, he tells God "thank you" for his new school and for God to help him learn there. Awwwwww!!

There's no wireless here in TLF so I'm not able to get on the computer unless I come to the lobby and use their dial up. Maybe once we leave on Thursday, we'll be able to have it at the hotels. We are going to make it a fun trip though and do some sightseeing so time might be an issue.

I'm SO ready to get into my new house! Please keep us in your prayers that everything goes smoothly with our move and closing.

Movers coming tomorrow




Ugh...I feel swamped! Trying to organize everything for our move. Today, I'm doing all the laundry and then packing what we need while we are in temporary lodging and while we are on the road those few days. I'm also trying to put like items together...like all my pictures in frames, decorative stuff, baskets, etc.

You know...you really don't realize how much crap you have until you move. I could throw half this stuff away and probably not even miss it. It's crazy! We are gaining almost 1,000 sq ft (our new home is 2100 sq ft) so I'm going to feel like we are in a mansion, but still I have to be careful...I hate clutter and I want my new home to be totally in order and organized...even if it means taking longer to unpack.

These are the best pictures I have of our new house. The first one we took when we went down to house hunt. The second, My father in law took it when they went down last week to give us an update on the progress. When we get there, I'll post more pictures! We are getting SO excited!!
