So after our trip to Georgia for Christmas we came home to our tiny condo. It was extra small after being in my mom’s 4,000 sq foot house (it’s huge…what on earth would anyone need all that space for?!?). So we called a mover just to get a quote on moving our big furniture and stuff – and it was low and they were available the next day…so we took the plunge and moved in – without finishing our remodel! But we just WANTED TO!
So we’re in the house now and gosh, we never looked back! We were fortunate to find someone to rent our condo for the remainder of the lease! That was a total blessing!
So total remodel has begun and it’s been insane!!! We have replaced all floors with either carpet or real hard wood, we’ve painted every room, our family room went from gnarly to FABULOUS MAKEOVER worthy of HGTV. We are now in the midst of a total kitchen GUT and remodel. It’s so nice, we tore out a wall, ripped all the old cabinets out, and we’re starting from zero. Hubby put in new recessed lighting and it is beautiful….
So in 4 months we’ve done quite a bit – yes, we are still living in dust and my “kitchen” is actually a skillet in my basement. But I sure haven’t missed any meals! ha ha We are happy, life in our new home has been wonderful! Yay God!
Moving to Wyoming & Moving In

I drove to Wyoming in one straight shot – 20 hours. By the end of that drive I was completely sleep deprived, overdosed on caffeine, and even when I was standing still I was shaky and TIRED. I checked into a hotel the first night and the following morning my husband arrived with his brother and our UHaul truck.
I went to church Sunday morning and was greeted so warmly! The pastor announced our arrival and asked for volunteers to come and unload our Uhaul. Seven people showed up! We unpacked the truck in an hour and then people stuck around for another two hours talking, laughing and just getting to know eachother. We have made some new friends and we’re so happy… I am really going to lean on that church.
