The Latest



well... I'll do a quick catch up.

let's see we've had:
Chip's birthday
Easter
Girls finished school- Alli finished 5th grade, Maggie finished 2nd grade
Maggie turned 8
Maggie got baptized
Miles and Dexter turned 4 (What the crap?! Where did my babies go?)
Birthday parties happened.
Alli went to Virginia (5 1/2 weeks and counting)
Maggie went to Pennsylvania by herself
Chip and I, along with the boys, joined her for a week....
And then we left all 3 of the smaller kids with Nunnums for a week- while Chip and I came home and spent time ALONE. (What the?!?).... to.....

PACK!
Yep, we are packing up to move to the great giant state of Idaho-  we'll be headed out of here in a few more weeks.....


to Grangeville, to be exact..... Which is 200 miles north of Boise, and 175 miles south of Spokane, Washington.... and the nearest McDonalds is 75 miles away. ..... but worth it for the view off of our new front porch and being with our dear family....



... and the "worst" part of it all will be that I *big dramatic sigh with my right hand resting on my forehead* will just have to work at my mom's quilt store.... 

We will be pulling into town the day before school starts for the girls. This outta' be super fun- ya know, new school, anxieties, and a 3 hour time zone change. We do love our adventures.

I got into Young Living Oils-



They are pretty much the greatest things ever. Like... ever. Move over medicine cabinet!

And I started selling purses on my FB page called Up In Stitches

 




(I can also do custom work too- just let me know- and visit my page to see all the different styles)


I think I've also 'watched' 30 Rock on Netflix all the way through like 2.5 times while I'm packing or sewing.... and I am on my 2nd round of Call the Midwife.  I need little distractions.

I've gone through about 1 book on CD a week since the beginning of the year.

And I currently have more boxes than floor space- and more crap than I have boxes. Who knew we packed this much stuff into less than 1000 sq feet?

I hope once the crazy has died down I will be able to get back to blogging. I miss it.
