Moving!!

The big news right now is we are planning to move.  This was not an easy decision and one that I have fought for a long time.  I can honestly say that now I feel like God is leading us in that direction.  We are moving closer to dh work.  Right now he is traveling 2 hours one way 6 days a week.  You can imagine the gas money. 

We have put this whole thing in God's hands.  We have met with a mortgage company and we have to get dh's credit cards paid down in order to get the loan we want.  We should be able to do that within 6 months.  We have already started searching for places so that we are prepared when the loan is approved. 

It also means getting our current house ready to go on the market.  Now let me explain what that means.  It means cleaning out 15 years worth of clutter.  It means repainting a lot of rooms and cleaning.  This is the house that my ex and I bought.  Once he left I kinda lost interest in anything having to do with this house.  I took down all the decorations because they were things that he and I had purchased and it was a constant reminder.  I have long gotten over that hurt but have yet to redecorate.  Bobby doesn't feel like this is his house because he wasn't involved in picking it out and so he is not interested in any repairs.  So you can imagine that in the 6 years we have been together and the 3 years we have been married not much has been accomplished around here.  If we have a weekend free, we go do stuff instead of work on the house.

So I have a lot of work ahead of me.  I have gone through K's old bedroom and am currently working on fixing that up into a guest room/homeschool room/office. 

My goal is to post before and after pictures so that I/everyone can see the progress.

Fresh Start Retake

Welcome to our blog.  I have deleted everything and basically am re-starting from scratch.  When I sat down to read previous posts there was no flow, no rhyme or reason.  I had blogged about ideas that never took place and it did not give a true picture of our life.

So here we are at a fresh start.  My goal is to blog regularly about things that are going on in our life right now. We have a lot going on right now and I really want to document it all.  I want a way to look back months down the road and see how God has answered each of our prayers and led us on this path that we are currently on.
