I'm BACK.....

After way too long and missing way too many important things that should have been documented I am back to try and catch up.  To say it has been a hectic, busy, crazy and insane couple of months would be an understatement.  We have sold our home, moved 4 times and added a sweet boy to our family.  When you put it on paper it doesn't sound like that much but trust me.... it has been a LOT to handle.  But we are in our new home, settled and loving our new little man and trying to keep up with the Jacker Man and Ella Rosen. 
I am going to try and backtrack a bit to make sure I don't miss out on any of the highlights of the last few months.

At the end of April after being on the market for 2 weeks we sold our humble abode on Perth St.  Sooo many memories were made there and it was very bitterweet for us.  We were ready to move on to a bigger house to fit our growing family but weren't ready to leave our wonderful neighbors and neighborhood.  Oh how I wish I could put our new house right where this one was and live on Perth St. again.  We REALLY miss our wonderful neighbors and the kids especially miss their friends.  As I walked out the last time I had tears in my eyes because this is where I brought my babies home.  This is where they learned to crawl and walk.  This is where I spent MANY nights rocking them and loving on them.  So many memories were made in this house and it will always hold a special place in my heart.  It is still hard to go visit my old neighbors and know that is no longer our home. 

After selling our home and waiting to close on our new home we had a couple of weeks in the mean time with nowhere to live.  We were homeless.  Luckily, my wonderful in-laws agreed to let us crash in their basement until we could get in the new house.  They had NO idea what they were getting themselves into!  Not to mention during this 2 week stay I had a baby.... no big deal! :) (this will get a post of its own!)  A few days after getting home from the hospital the people we were buying the home from agreed to let us move in (rent) the home we were buying from them because the paperwork was delayed.  They had already moved to Arizona so the home was empty.  We rounded up the troops and moved in.  Fast forward 2 weeks.... Sellers decide they no longer want to sell.  Homeless again!  Fortunately for us Ryan's parents let us move in AGAIN.  This time we had NO timeframe and they still let our family of 5 our dog and our fish crash in their basement again!  The house search was on again!  Lucky for us (and them) another home came on the market in the same neighborhood and on the same STREET.  We put in our offer and they accepted.  It was where we were meant to be.

We were so happy when the papers were finally signed and this beauty was ours.  Words cannot express how thankful and grateful we are for Keldon and Annette letting us crash their home... (literally) for several months.  This was a very stressful time with a newborn and I can't imagine how we would have been able to handle it without their help.  Thank you thank you thank you!!! 

I would like to say life has slowed down a bit since we got moved in but.... it hasn't.  We like to keep a busy schedule and we have accomplished it this summer.  I figure those boxes will still be sitting here waiting to be unpacked when it's winter and we have nothing else to do.  In the meantime, who needs tupperware, seasoning salt, and clean pillowcases.  (just a few things I have yet to find!)  And just to justify all of this happening... I LOVE this home so much more and I am so happy despite all the craziness that it caused that the other home fell through!

Okay, just a start to my major catch up but I am hoping if BoBo will cooperate to get this updated on a regular basis from now on!
