We are in VA, but our stuff doesn't want to come with us!

OK, so first of all I don't want to complain! We really have been blessed throughout this whole crazy mess, and I am grateful for the wonderful people here who have done so much! Also, we are together finally and that means a lot too.

So having said that I will explain what's been going on. We got to VA on Sunday and expected out stuff to be here Tues. So we have blowup mattresses and we each have a bag with some clothes. Other than that it was just an empty house...waiting to be filled with our things. We decided to use the companies offer of moving our stuff cause I was home by myself and Danny wanted to let me have the luxury of someone else packing for me. If not it would have been me and the boys trying to pack up the house. He was just trying to be sweet.

Now, we are in VA and our stuff is still sitting in a warehouse in AL. Why? You might ask. Well the original driver got pneumonia and could drive the truck. And for some reason everyone else is moving right now too, and there are no available drivers to get our stuff. So they told us yesterday the earliest we can expect our things is a week (from yesterday)!

Then, we get a call from Danny's company. Suzi, who is in charge of relocation, has offered to pay for us to stay at an Embassy Suites during the week we are waiting for our things. We tell her we would love to so she gets to work. We then get a call telling us that there are no suited available in the places they can get for us. So now we are back to square -4 and working our way up.

We have had great support from our ward. They have come and helped with the boys, let me do laundry at there homes, and even brought us dinner each night. But the boys have been making things a little trying as well, but I can't blame them they are in an empty house and just want to have more to do!

So on our prayer list we have: please let our stuff get here, please help our house in AL sell (fast, like yesterday), thank you for the wonderful ward, and thank you that I don't own a gun! LOL

This was all too long to put on a FB status so I thought I would take a minute to let you all know we are safe and together, just all our nerves are fried and we are trying to pull through without being that crazy family! Love to you all!

Becoming a mother!

Six years ago Wed. I became a mother! I agree with my Uncle Lynnn's tradition. Birthdays should be celebrated between the mother and child. We were the ones there to begin with, right? But he was my cute tiny little man, born 5 weeks early, but quickly caught up and got chubby! I love you Isaak!

The beach photos!

I finally finished editing the beach photos!

Da Beach

As Jack would say each morning he woke up last week. Cause, that's where we were. Lacy and David asked us to take a vacation with them to the beach. I guess it was after they got home to Utah from there visit here at Christmas, they called to see if we wanted to take a beach trip. So we spent months looking and pricing and searching for a good place. We finally found one, in Destin! We stayed for a week and had a blast! I was afraid the boys would not be fans of the water and we would spend our time in the condo. But I was pleasantly surprised when they loved everything about the beach. The sand, the water, the sun! We spent every minute at the beach or the pool! Lacy and David were so much fun to vacation with! There were no fights, no fusses, we just all enjoyed each other, including the kids. They all loved Daddy's answer for everything. They would say, Daddy can we go put-put golfing? And he would answer...Are we on vacation? It was a blast! That was his answer for everything. It backfired on them when they got home! I will get the pictures up soon. The only down side to the whole vacation was the loss of Danny's phone...it wanted to go in the ocean too. But didn't survive! Aw, so is life!
