Well, it has been a crazy few weeks. Our plan of moving December first got pushed up three weeks. We are now moved into our new home. Two weeks ago our water heater decided to die on us. We didn't want to put a lot of money into fixing it for three more weeks of living there so we decided to move the next day- regardless of the fact that I had ZERO boxes packed. It was Sunday so I couldn't do much so Monday morning we started packing and moved. It was insane and still is a bit out of control but I really feel like the Lord had a hand in this. My anxiety usually comes on with changes and I could feel it hitting hard when we finally set a date to move when we had to move so abruptly there was no time for anxiety I just went into survival mode and so far it hasn't even hit. I'm a little worried about Sunday when I have to go to a new ward.
It was really tough to leave my amazing young women and the leaders that I have worked with. I have been in that young women presidency for about two and a half years and was in for a few years as the Beehive Wed night leader so I have been with those girls for around four years. Some of my Beehives are now Laurels. Needless to say it was hard to leave. I will miss those girls and my sweet friends in there as well.
So, we just barely got the internet in our new home and I feel I can connect with the world :) It has been good for me to cut down my internet time for sure. I think I got a little excessive for awhile there. The kids seem to be doing pretty good and loving living in the new house- as do I. It is beautiful, everything is brand new and it was furnished which is nice. Right now we moved across town to Washington Fields into Jeff's Mom's home. She recently bought a home- like closed on it three weeks ago new - and she is allowing us to rent it from her until we figure out the next step in our life.
This decision to move has been a tough one but we feel we have been led by the Lord throughout this whole process and we have felt his hand in this. I feel truly blessed and hope I can find the reason we were supposed to be here right now.
So over the past few weeks while life has to keep going even though we were moving chaotically we did have a few events that I wanted to document. The first is Jeff's triathlon- I love to see that Jeff is finally getting back into tri's. He loves them and while he was doing his master's he just didn't have time. So it's really fun seeing him getting back into his passion. He found a way to sign up for the Iron man for $100 rather than $600 so he is planning on doing the Iron Man next year which I think is insane but it's on his bucket list so I guess I will support him in his insanity. We will see how it goes later.
The second is last weekend we went to my Grandma's in Monroe and had an early Thanksgiving with the whole crew (minus one of my Dad's bros and family). It was a blast! I just love spending time with my extended family.
We did get to have Thanksgiving with Jeff's family on the actual Thanksgiving after Jeff got off work- yes, he did have to work Thanksgiving- can't remember the last time he had it off... And then me and Kels went Black Friday shopping. SO much fun. I think it's hilarious what people will do to save a few dollars. I love to people watch on Black Friday. Plus I get a few good deals out of the mess. I got a new steam mop, a new bike for Sky and a few other odds and ends for friends and kids and hubby for Christmas. Plus I got a twenty dollar gift card to Boulevard. It turned out to be super super fun and crazy.
So that is our past few weeks in a nutshell. Life has been busy and haven't had time to digest the fact we actually moved and are in the next chapter of life whatever that brings. Ok the end :)
