Part 1 of 6 week update.......

So after spending almost 3 days of editing 97 pictures and playing around with my blog....it decided to not be so nice and save everything. So I have to break my big ol blog with lots and lots of pictures down to many smaller ones, so bare with me. The next series of blogs are from the last 6 weeks of our crazy busy thing we call life.




Another move under our belt and yes we're tired of moving for those that wonder. We started looking the first of this year for another place for many reasons. But the two major ones are because of the school district and the home itself we felt was making us all sick! I was homeschooling using the k12 program which was great but except our Internet provider was not so that made it difficult. Then come in May we found a beautiful home (where we are now). It wasn't available until July 1st which was fine with us because we wanted our kids to finish the last month of school there so it wouldn't affect their next year. We gave our landlord 2 months notice and started cleaning. Come June 3rd while Dave & I were in Coeur d'Alene shopping we get a call from Savannah that our basement was all wet and flooding.........We think "oh lovely, here we go again" (One year earlier we had to have a new drain field put in cause it flooded before) We get home and Dave proceeds to call our landlord and tell her what is happening. She tells him it's our problem and we need to fix it. To be respectful I won't spill all the details of the last three days there!!! For three days we bought boxes, found boxes, got a moving truck and moved out that Monday morning, never looking back. When this all happened I called our real estate agent about the new house to see if we could get in any sooner. Things seemed to be looking up and they were able to get us in earlier. Although we had a week where we didn't have a house so we decided to camp..........


I drove the suburban with the little trailer....by the way that was the first time I ever pulled anything....eekkkk It was an hour and a half drive......white knuckling it....LOL


and this is what Dave drove...thank goodness.......




It felt so good to get everything packed up and just to think I even cleaned that house.....but not the basement.....6 ins. + 1600 sq ft = a lot of mess for the home owner!!!

We are so grateful that they cleared the garage of the new house out even earlier so we could at least unload our huge moving truck of stuff so we didn't have to pay for a storage and/or extra days of renting the U-haul. Thank you God!!!



Before it was full. We unloaded then returned the truck and headed back to our campsite........
