Well as of now we ARE getting the house.  We are set to close on 9/30/11.  I need to start packing again for sure this time.  We had a few bumps in the road and weren't sure if it was going to go through or not so we  put the packing on hold for a little bit but now I'll probably end up rushed come the 30th :)

As far as the new house it's a 3 bed 1.5 bath with a kitchen/dining room, living room and family room.  It's just a little bigger than we have now but it's something that will be OURS and we can do what we want to it.  We are planning a few remodeling projects but nothing huge.  There is an old "ugly" looking fireplace in the living room and we are removing it first thing then lots and lots of paint should do the trick just fine.  The master 1/2 bath will be redone as time comes and funds become available but it serves it's purpose for now.  I will definatly take before and after pictures for all to see when we start.  We will have 1 month to complete all this AND move our stuff in.  So I'm glad we have family and some good friends to help us with this task. 

I'll just be glad when it's all said and done and I can relax and have some time to think.  I feel like a chicken with my head cut off lately.  Nothing but running here then there and so on.  I'm one pretty busy Momma if you ask me.  I wouldn't change it in the world cause I love my kido's but it would be so nice to relax.

Parker had football practice 3 nights a week and I pretty much run in the door, cook dinner and then we run out to practice.  Then church on Wednesday (best program for kids ever) and Fri-Sun well it's packing our house and Travis's dads house now too.  He's selling his house in September and moving to Nevada with Travis's brother so we're trying our best to help him and get our stuff done too.  So September this year is crazy and I'm sure Oct will be the same way.

I hope everyone likes some of the recipes I put on here.  I've been posting our family favorites so I hope you can share with your families and they love them as much as mine does.  I'm trying to figure out how to put a section on my blog with just the recipes but I'm not very good at this blog layout thing so we'll see how it goes.

Well I'd better get off here and get a few things done and we've got another busy weekend ahead of us again.
