The big changes...

So, the big news is we are moving yet again.... The husband got a fabulous job that we can't pass on!!! The move will be October 14!!! So soon, I know.....

So the pros:                                                                              Cons:

1. Amazing job for James.                                                         1. Selling our first home

2. Closer to family and my BFF.                                                  2. Having to live in an apartment

3. Better pay, vacation time & benefits.                                       3. Freedom of owning a home

4. Not having to pay if major things in home breaks.                    4. Smaller space

5. Not having to take care of lawn(we both hate to mow).            5. Costs a little more to rent

6. Taking only what we use is reducing clutter.                             6. No basement

7. We will have a larger living room.                                               7. Farther from an airport

8. Larger bedrooms and an extra bathroom

9. Possibly a garage

10. Larger closets!!!

These were the first things that came to mind... Good thing the pro list is longer!! We have decided to

Rent for a few years until his schooling is done to make sure that is where we will stay! Selling a house is so stressful and the up keep on a house would be difficult raising a family and James working and doing schooling, so I think it would be best for us to rent for a while...

So anyway the next few weeks will be a little nuts as we drive back and fourth moving things and trying to find a place... I will keep you updated an another pro and conn list will come out while I try to figure out what apartment to get out of the two we look at this Saturday!!!!

Big Changes coming soon....I think:)

Ok so this is just a tease post... NO DETAILS yet... but just know that I have not forgotten my blog!! There will be some big changes in the near future... We hope... Nothing definite yet that is why I'm not sharing details... however I will tell you what I have been up to recently... Operation Declutter the home... I mean a total clean sweep!!!

I have gone through and touched almost everything we own and have purged the majority.. I'm starting to feel better... now I just need to get the things we don't need out of the house! It has been a little crazy and the house may be a little upside down but at least we are going in the right direction... there were things I have had for years, Moved to so many different apartments, houses and states that we haven't used... Just taking up space everywhere we go and making my basement here a hot mess!

I am hoping to be able to post this coming Friday all the new and exciting details that is our crazy life! Just know we are very excited to see what the future holds for our family!

Challenge for my readers.....
Grab a grocery bag, I know you all have one laying around... and go through and fill it up with things you honestly haven't used in a while and THROW IT AWAY... you will feel so much better seeing just one bag go away!

Words to live by

So,this could not have come at a better time! Just as I was getting frustrated by Nora's teething and her needing to cling to me all night long,I read this! I thought, this wont last...I better get all the night time cuddles I can because before I know it she will be a teenager who won't want to snuggle her mommy & I will be the one begging for hugs and kisses! 

Then I thought when was the last time I snuggled with my parents and how they must feel seeing my sisters and me grow up- I look back and realize my childhood FLEW by so to them it must have been a blink of an eye! So please if you still have your parents next time you see them pop in a movie and snuggle on the couch! You will create a new memory and your parents will love it!
