Well considering we moved almost everything in the back of a mini-van and borrowed a truck from a friend for just one load too big and heavy for the van I think we did good. We are well on the way to being unpacked and moved in. This was a much bigger undertaking than I had planned, but isn't moving always worse than you think it is going to be? We still have a few things to do like buying new mini-blinds for the whole house, painting that we didn't get to before we moved, hanging shelves and pictures but overall we have accomplished the big goal of moving.
My boys seem to be getting used to it here. I think they would like it much better if we could only get the cable hooked up and a permanent internet connection. It seems like the cable company would hurry up and get it done if they want that deposit money.
I find that it is much quieter here with only five of us as compared to nine of us in the old house. The house is considerably smaller and I have made a good start on organizing it the way I want it. What is that statement about starting off the way you mean to go? Well I mean to keep this place neat as a pin! I am already excited about the holidays coming up and having our first Thanksgiving as a married couple here in our new house.

The Big Step
After weeks of searching today we finally put down a deposit and first month's rent on a house. It is far from perfect and not what I had in mind when I began this search. However, we can make it work and at least we will not be homeless. I am determined to keep a positive outlook as I begin this new chapter of my life.
I have remarried the man I divorced sixteen years ago. I am finally cutting the apron strings on my grown up children and trying to begin a new life for myself, my husband and my three youngest children. This has not by any means been an easy thing for me to do. I still find myself assailed by doubts and fears.
Today we went shopping for kitchen stuff and new bunkbeds for the two youngest boys. We are somewhat limited on money so I have to be careful but you do have to have the essentials. I am leaving behind most of the stuff I collected over the years for my grown boys and my mom who are still going to be living together in the house I am leaving. We are taking only our personal things, a few pieces of furniture but mostly we are leaving it all for them so that they have all that they need. I may be leaving, or at least moving ten or fifteen minutes away, but I still want to know that they have all they need and that they are ok.
My sweet husband is preparing to clean and paint and get the house ready. I don't know how much help I can be with my health not what it used to be. I am determined for his sake and for my three youngest sons to make us a home. It might not happen overnight but we can make a success out of this venture. So off we go on this new adventure. Who knows where we will find ourselves in November of 2011?
