Farewell New Jersey

Well its farewell to NJ and hello MI.
We flew out this morning and are now staying in a hotel until friday.. Our stuff will be delivered on Thursday. Wow talk about a temperature change here.. When we left NJ this morning it was 90 degrees and beautuful and sunny and when we got here it was raining and a balmy 40 degrees.. We all had to change out of our shorts..LOL
I didnt think this week would ever come and now it's here.. Now I get to look forward to unpacking UUGGHHH!!! I hate moving.. Well as soon as I get settled in I will have to do all my catching up..
Until next time...

Packed Up

Just a quick check in before they pack up my kids computer... Packers arrived today to start packing my house and they got 3/4 of it all packed up.. By tomorrow afternoon the rest of my house will be packed.. I am so excited its finally here and this time next week we will be on our way to Michigan.. It seemed like it would never get here but now its flying by. Soon it will be time to send my parents back home. After living with us for the past 2 months I am sure they are more then ready to go home but we will miss them soooo much.. It will be tough on the kids and me... They have been such a great help and support through all this.. I dont think I could have done it without them with steve being in Michigan during this whole moving process..

Anyways the next time I get on here I will be reporting from Michigan and I am sure I will have a cazillion posts of catch-ups. So until then........................

Easter

"Easter is the celebration of the free gift of immortality given to all men, restoring life and healing all wounds. Though all will die as part of the eternal plan of growth and development, nevertheless we can all find comfort in the Psalmist’s statement, “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”


Happy Easter everyone!! I hope to get on here soon and do an update.. My computer has been in the repair shop for over a month now and we still havnt got it back yet and probably wont until we get moved so just wanted to let you all know I havnt forgotten ya.. have a blessed Easter Sunday....

We Got Our House

Yeah I'm so excited.. It looks like we are going to be able to get the house I fell in love with after all.. The owners decided to lease it to us with an option to buy it if we want so we must be living right.. I can hardly wait.. You can check out our new home here.. I love the neighborhood. It has a private pond right in our backyard and backs to a nature preserve. There is a nice trail that runs along the subdevision for me to go running on and its just like being up in the mountains because there are so many pine and other trees and nature all around the neighborhood. It's like being in a forrest! There is a nice size river that is just around the block that I'm sure Steve will ehaust with his fly pole.. And there is a nice big lake called Lake Ori0n within 1 mile of our home to go boating on.. There's actually about 5-6 lakes around us all within a few mins drive, and tons more lakes we have yet to discover all within about an hours drive.. There are so many lakes in this state it's a boaters dream..
The only downfall is we are about a 30 min drive to go to our church which will make the weekly activities a challenge.. It's not like I will be able to drop the kids off and then go home and pick hem up when its done. I will have to stay or go do some shopping then be there to pick them up..
Also I am about a 20 min drive from the nearest walmart.. I dont know if I will survive without being within a few mins from a walmart but at least there is a grocery store within about 5-10 mins so I guess it will do... I think we will really like being here.. Other then the cold weather and very snowy winters I think its alot like Utah where we grew up so I think it will feel alot more like home... And bonus they even have a scrapbook store out here Yeah!!! NJ didnt have one so I am excited to have one so close now.. I cant wait to get out here!!
