Happy New Years from the Roadies

Hello to all of my wonderful family and friends who actually read my blog! I love you all and miss you terribly! Michael and I were blessed with a computer camera so I'll have a Skype account sometime soon. Would love to talk!

We're in Texas right now at Michael's parent's house. Enjoying the time but missing VA and all of you! Please give me a call if I haven't called you. If I can't answer I would at least like to hear your voice on my irritating answering machine (the machine isn't irritating - my voice is).

Michael sends his love!

I'll be sure to send pics of the new abode when we find it!

Love to you all!

Vegas or Bust

:) We are officially packing up, boxing up, folding up, and putting up all of our stuff to head out tomorrow for Dallas and then on to Vegas.

I don't know if anyone has been reading the news, but the west, oddly enough has been hit with unseasonal winter weather. And it's gonna get worse.

Just our luck.

So, if you think of my hubby and I, please pray for clear, smooth, safe weather, cheerful tudes (attitudes), fun memories, and restful sleep in between.

Thanks everyone for your encouragement and love! We will miss every single one of you and look forward to coming back and visiting! If you have a blog please keep updating it. If you don't and you've been contemplating it, please start one for me to see (send me the link) what's happening in your life.

If I don't post for another couple of weeks please have patience for me! I'm working on it!

Merry Chirstmas, Everybody!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday!

Need advice:

As Michael and I prepare to head out west I am researching ways in which to communicate with my family and friends from afar. So, I'm looking into Skype. Here are my questions:

1) Does anybody use this?
2) Do you like it?
3) Are there better alternatives?
4) Is it worth it to get this program?

If anyone has any advice on the matter please fill me in! I really need to get this set up soon.

Thanks!

Having fun on Mom's and Dad's computer... again.

Gwacie-Poo! Gwacie-Poo! How we love you, Gwacie-Poo!

For kicks and giggles

Okay, I know this looks kinda weird. :) Bekah and I were "posing" for what would have been a cute shot for Michael and I. Rebekah looks adorable. I look stressed.

Christmas...? HUMBUG!

Unfortunately, we're moving over Christmas, so Michael gets to be a Scrooge one more year.

So, unlike everybody else, I will not be posting beautiful pictures of us searching for a tree, decorating it, my family underneath it, my husband risking his life to hang lights on the house, or even baking sugar cookies in my oven.

I'm very sad.

But...

I will have Christmas.

Maybe just a little late. :)

Thank You!!

I want to send out a HUGE THANKS to my awesome Mom! She came over today and helped me completely pack my whole house (at least what we're taking with us). She also kept me focused on what I needed to do, to not stress out, and to be cheerful. :)


I'm working on the cheerfulness.

:)

Thanks for the prayers! Keep them coming!

My life right now...

Working,
Scraping,
Cleaning,
Scrubbing,
Caulking,
Patching,
Sweeping,
Trying to be cheerful,
Tired,
Busy,
Scheduled,
Tiny bit stressed,
Not anxious (amazingly),
Vacuuming,
Tiling,
Polishing,
...

And just feeling a little "blah" (as Bekah would put it).

I'm looking forward to this being over with. Not the whole moving, but the fixing, cleaning, etc. I'm tired. Trying to be patient. Just a little overwhelmed (not that this won't get done or can't, but that it's taking forever.)

Blah.
Blah.
Blah.

Pray for us!

Guess what....!

We have a RENTER!!!!! The Lord put everything in place. The family loves the painting we did in the kitchen and foyer, they loved the layout, everything! The only thing that needed to be fixed was the move in date. They want to move in as soon as possible!

The Lord is so good! I was very anxious about not having a renter and possibly having to pay our mortage and rent. Yikes! But God had it all worked out. The family is also military, which Michael and I were hoping for. It was so perfect. Even as I was trying to figure out when the best time for them to move in an e-mail came through (2 DAYS EARLY) from the Navy moving office confirming the date of our move. (That wasn't supposed to come in, at the earliest, til Friday!)

Get this: all we have to do now is replace the blinds, fix the garage, clean the chimney, pack, move, and clean the house! No painting. No more fixing outlets. We'll be done, baby!

Thank you to everyone that prayed with us!

Hurrah! I've been tagged!

I've been tagged!! (Thanks, Bekah! I thought I never would be!)

So, here's my fifth pic from my fifth folder:

My hubby!!! Isn't he cute?!?!?!?!?!

I tag Gracie, Jen Jimenez, Aunt Lynn, Rachel B, and ... Tina Mc-Kraft
