Yes We made it! No, I don't have pics of the house yet!

This shot was taken on campus. It is so beautifully landscaped!

The dog hair!!!! (see post)


Yes, he is ironing my curtains! What a guy!


Enjoying our walk in the new wagon (thank you Autie Mary Anne!)
Getting so big! He did just turn 10 months you know!

The Hills and the Foxes! YEAH!

Noah and the dog hair (you've gotta read the post)


The moving van. We were SLAMMED full!

Noah decided he wanted to wear his shirt like this. I honestly have no idea when he did it, I looked back and this is how he was. Too funny!


We are here! Actually we have been here for over a week now. We left the day before Valentines day and unloaded the truck on Valentines day. We were greeted by the head coach, Jill and a few of the players to help us. Thankfully, our friends from Indiana were visiting Orlando and Doug Fox offered to come over and help us unload the truck. We don't know what we would have done if he wasn't here. He helped Josh take the 4 dressers upstairs....yikes! That night we went out to dinner with the Foxs and then to their place to play some Wii. Then Josh's dad flew in Saturday morning to help us for a couple days. We were so thankful to have him. We really tackled alot of the unpacking while he was here!


We are still unpacking boxes but thankfully I am seeing a light here soon. A couple nights ago I was up all night throwing up and now Josh has it. It really stinks when you are lying on the couch and see all the boxes that need attention and can't move a muscle! I think it was some 24 hour bug because later the next day I felt tons better. I hope Josh gets over it pretty quick.


The boys have been enjoying the new house. Their favorite part is their new playroom. We are working on getting it somewhat organizes for them, so many of thier toys are still in boxes, but that should change this week. We ventured out yesterday and found the mall. We've been enjoying our walks along Lake Holingsworth, which is a lake that the campus is on. The boys love to ride in their new wagon they got for Christmas, and Noah loves to see all the ducks, birds, trees, and anything else you can imagine would be down by the lake. No, we haven't seen any gators yet ;-)

I will take pictures of the new place when there are less boxes around. It has a nice screened in front porch which is nice to just go out and sit on. The people that lived here before us had a dog that was kept out on the porch, so there was TONS of dog hair. You will be able to tell how much from the pictures.

Anyway, just wanted to let you all know we are still alive and doing well! Come visit!

Moving!

Sorry, his face is a MESS!!! He had sweet potatoes and got straight in the tub!




Well, the house is being packed up today, and we are headed out early tomorrow morning for Florida! I will post pictures as soon as we get internet, and all that fun stuff! We appreciate your prayers for a safe travel and move. We'll talk to you in Lakeland!

Well it's official!

Here is the link to Florida Southern about the write up of Josh. We just received word today that we have housing. Praise the Lord!

Love to save!!!!

I posted this on Facebook, but forgot to put it on here. A couple of weeks ago I went out at 8:30 at night (after the boys were in bed) for some late night shopping. I went to Walgreens, Harris Teeter, and Kroger. I spent about $45 and saved about $175! The great thing was, it was all stuff that I use and or needed!!! Woo hoo! I have found great sites that do all the hard work for you. They pretty much say, go to Food Lion, use this coupon and you will pay .19! It's crazy! A couple of the sites are http://www.afullcup.com/ and http://www.savvydollar.org/ All the coupons come in the Sunday paper and as long as you clip and are somewhat organized, you can get some SUPER deals!!!!



We have been in PACKING and SELLING mode. I put about 15 things on craigslist on Monday night and all but 2 of the items are GONE. As a matter of fact, a lady is suppose to come over and pick up the last two tomorrow afternoon. Craigslist is so much better than garage saling when you have large items to sell. No haggling, and people know what they are getting and can ask questions beforehand. As far as the boys go, they know something is up, especially Noah. We sold most of his outside toys, honestly I picked up most of them from the side of the road, yesterday and he was thinking, "Wait a second, why are my toys going into that guy's car??" He is still doing a WONDERFUL job potty training whenever I remember to take him. He still goes in his pull up sometimes but again it's usually because mommy missed taking him...I will do better. Jacob is doing well. He is starting to walk while we hold his fingers and if he is standing by himself he will walk a couple steps towards me. He is also eating table food and loves his green beans and pear slices. He is getting a mouth full of teeth and is developing a cute little personality. He is still a huge mommas boy and follows me around the house like a little puppy dog. Oh and both boys LOVE to be outside. We are in full pack mode and have boxes everywhere! We are close to being done which is nice. Right now I am getting ahead in laundry so we can get the clothes packed up. Keep us in prayers as our housing situation isn't in concrete yet.

Well, we are moving!!!

On February 12, 2008 we will be picking up our 26' truck and packing it for Lakeland, Fl. Josh accepted the job on Wednesday to be the assistant coach at Florida Southern University. We are very excited about this opportunity. Of course we only have about a week and a half to get everything in order, pack, close accounts, and have a huge garage sale, but we are excited non the less. We still have to find a place to move to. We've contacted a couple of apartment complexes, but we are still on a search. That is definately a prayer request.

We will keep you updated and I am sure post pictures of the move, so stay tuned! Thanks for the prayers!
