Words from the Heart

Ok, ok, I'm Baaaack!

It's been a loooong week...I have a ton to say, and I am so tired I don't feel like even blogging, but I better, or I might have some people coming after me...Rachel, you there? LOL!

Our move was entirely chaotic on Tuesday, starting with the fact that we only had 2 guys helping and they were both over 50, and felt the strain after only a couple hours. Understandable, but frustrating! We got our truck at 7 a.m. and had to have it back by 6 p.m. We used the whole time, and at the end had to shove everything in the garage so we could get the truck back! The new tenants were not supposed to move in until Saturday, something I confirmed with our landlord that morning. They showed up at 1:00 with trucks, and a ton of people and we were not even out yet! Then the landlady showed up and decided to hang around(literally) until we were done so she could do the inspection. She was driving us crazy, pointing out spots we had missed in the cleaning, and inspecting every corner, crack and scratch she could find. My mom and I were ready to blow a fuse, but we held it in...thankfully! An elderly neighbor we had grown close to kept Logan with her for over 4 hours, walking her dog, eating ice cream, buying him toys...you better believe it was difficult to convince him to come home! LOL! Thank you Tuni!

We are in our new house now, though and I LOVE it! I of course am in my own place now, the 3 bedroom upstairs of an older house, but it is mine and I really enjoy it. I've already started my decorating, and organizing it all is going to take some time, weeks, maybe months, but it's all mine and I am looking forward to doing things I have wanted to do for years! When I was married I was just getting warmed up with decorating then I lost it all, but I have new ideas now and am excited to do them. My kitchen is apples(thanks Lisa!) and it's coming together nicely. My sister in law is giving me her bedroom set when she replaces hers this summer, so once I have that I will decorate around it. Logan is so into dinosaurs, so hopefully I can buy the complete bedroom set I found on ebay sometime this summer for him. Emma is still the Princess girl, but really likes Tinkerbell right now so we are going for that. It will be slow, but it will come together. My livingroom, hmmmm, not sure yet, but I'm thinking...

I will try to keep up from this point on, but please don't desert me if I fall behind! I love you all and love your comments!

Glad you finally have your own place now though, it's lots of fun decorating when its yours, isn't it? You'll have to post some pics of the new place as it comes along

Ugh... sounds like an awful move, but I'm SO pleased you're in your new place! Definitely post pics... =D

Don't feel bad about not posting... have you seen the last time *I* posted?! LOL I'm just swamped right now and barely have time to pee these days.

Hoping we can meet up for a picnic in the park or something when we are there in July.

Anyways, love ya,

April

It must be nice to have your own place! I am looking forward to the time when it's my turn, but I will miss the constant company that we always have at my Mom's house. There's only 2 days in the entire week that we don't have company, and on those evenings... it's funny... i wish people were there!!

That's sweet that Luni took Logan for 4 hours! God bless them!

TTYL!
