Love days like today

The sun is shinning.

I got to spend an extra 5 hours with my hubby, because he didn't have to go to one of his jobs today.

It always feels so good to just be with him. It doesn't matter what we are doing.

Today we went and bought him some running shoes.

He's not a runner, but I signed us up for the Color Run coming this fall...so he's going to start training.

I hope he loves it.

We also went grocery shopping. Whoopie, right. Well, it was.

It is so nice to not have to go shopping alone.

Then we hit up goodwill. Looking for some cheap towels for swimming and a shower tower.

Guess what I got. 

I can't believe I did it, but it was such a GOOD DEAL. I bought a maternity swimsuit. I know I jumped the gun, but seriously it was $8 for a brand NEW 2 piece. Score! It's cute too. :)

I figure I can wear it now, because of how it is made. It will just be a little lose on my stomach, but that wont matter much. It's not like I'm going to go diving or anything.

Enjoying the little things makes the other stuff not seem so blah.

Have a fabulous day!

I LOVE You Up To The Moon

Thinking about my boys today.

Wondering what they are doing. What they ate for dinner. Who they played with. If they got to go on a horse ride today with their dad.

Always wondering, wishing, and aching to be there with them.

I love you C and H!!

Found this song today and wished that I could tell you that I love you up to the moon and as big as the sky.

New Place

Well it happened. We moved. Already.
Talk about a crazy month.
I hate moving.
The worst is the cleaning up after moving....or is it living out of boxes day after day till you finally are able to get everything put back in it's proper place.

I have made lots of check lists/to do lists to try to keep on top of the demands of moving.

Oops! I forgot to pay rent. Such is life.
Thank goodness we got the internet today so I can do it online without getting a late fee.

So much for my check lists.

Besides all the craziness we Love our new apartment.
For an apartment it's amazing at least to us.

We upgraded. Yeah! To be able to afford an upgrade.

We have a fireplace! How romantic. How warm and dry.
Now hopefully we wont have mold issues.

Speaking of mold issues. When Jake and I took off the allergy cover off of our mattress to wash we saw mold...YUCK!! The end of our bed was spotted with big ugly black mold.

However it explains why I've been sick lately. (I thought I was prego! Ahh! Not quite ready for that just yet.)

For now we are sleeping on an air mattress.

Things are a little tight right now given that we paid a full months rent on the first at our last place. Rent, and a deposit for this place and in two weeks we have to pay rent again. Eek!! So for now the air mattress is heavenly, much better then the cold floor that's for sure.

Oh the joys of moving!

Happy International Woman's Day!

What a beautiful day today.
The sun has been shinning all day today.

Ahh! It feels like Spring.

Other good news. Jake and I found an apartment.
Wahoo!
We love it!

Move in next weekend.

It's a two bedroom. For now a office/craft room, but maybe....one day a nursery. One day.

I have been baby hungry lately. Thankfully I have a fabulous friend who had two adorable kids, who lets me come over and love them.

It helps for now.

Still doing research, thinking, talking, etc. about maybe trying to have a baby.

No decision yet.
So many mixed emotions, excited, longing, scared, worthlessness.

One day, we will decide and push forward, or take another route.
Jake promised me if we decided no or if the Lord told us no then we would get a dog.

Today I am feeling renewed. Crisp clean air, warm sun, new apt., good change.

Hope you are finding something to smile about. :)

Apartment Shopping

Well yesterday we put in our 30 day notice at our apartment complex.
They decided to up the rent on us.
Kinda ticks me off.
I've been renting now (not that I'm proud of it) for 10 years now and NEVER has anyone ever increased my rent.
We have been here 9 months and in 10 we will be gone.

To be truthful we were already discussing moving this summer.
The winter has been awful here.
I have to wash the windows at least one a day and even then they never seem to completely dry out.
It took them 7 months to finally get me a stove that works.
Increasing our rent was the last straw.

So today I'm going apartment hunting.
On my own.
Yuck!

Moving completely stresses me out.
I HATE it!
Thankfully I have some time to gradually pack.
I have a herniated disc in my low back so it has to be slow.

Change it's stressful, but it helps us grow.
Hopefully this will be a positive change and we wont have to move again until we buy a house.

Wish me luck! :)
