Oct. 29th.....

Well life has finally slowed down.... The kids are all settled & their stove is hooked up.... Our Halloween party is DONE for another year..... a little clean up is left from that, but it will wait unti lwe get nice plastic totes to store everything in....

We have our washer hooked up, so I am officially caught up with laundry.... Still no clothes lines up, but my 2 wooden racks are working great.... I am a little bored around here, not much to do on a daily basis....

I have picked up a small "part time" job.... cleaning empty houses & apartments.... $15.00 / hour.... it's a little extra money and gives me something to do....

I have also decided to go back to school.... the local community college here in Central PA.... HACC.... for Elementary Education.... I will transfer to Shippensburg University when I'm done at HACC.... I will start in January going full time, doing what I can online.... It will take me about 6 years, but I will end up with my Master's Degree, and will be a teacher.... My life long dream....

Well I am off here for the night.... Not much to do around here.... Scott & I are relaxing infront of the t.v.... Catching up on some recorded programs.... Enjoy your evening....

Wednesday.... October 22....

So much going on this week.... Today I am planning on cleaning/organizing the backyard & garage.... After Colton goes to school ofcourse.... I am also making my plans to go back to school.... Waiting to hear back from HACC (our local Community College)..... I am going for my teaching degree....

We are also gearing up for our annual Halloween Party.... Tomorrow evening Deb, Jess, & I will go shopping for our last minute things.... Friday night & Saturday morning will be cleaning, food prep, & decorating.... then comes the party....

Sunday we will have cleanup.....

Fun times.....

October 20th....

I guess fall is here & in full swing.... It is a brisk 28* this morning.... BRRR.... I want to get some pics of the fall colors.... I have such a great view from my front porch....

So anyhow, the house is done & unpacked.... I found a desk on Saturday at the same furniture place I had gotten my living room set & bed.... So I now have the office set up..... Yesterday Scott & Kevin hauled all my canned goods downstairs & organized on the shelves, and they started cleaning up around the garage & burning old boxes....

Saturday Scott worked & I shopped.... It seems like I was at 100 different stores.... I had a great time.... I got home not to long before Scott.... We went to Kevin's for supper that night.... Mmmm... we had BBQ'd chicken, hamburgers, pasta salad, & seasoned potatoes....

Last night we went to Jeff & Deb's.... Last minute party planning supper..... Chad & Jess were there too.... We had hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken sausages, chips, tortellini salad, & potato salad.... We got a lot of planning done.... Can't believe it's only 5 days away.... We plan to head out for last minute shopping Thursday evening (well us 3 girls anyhow)....

So back to today.... I have a few small things planned.... Dust, Vacuum, Bring my Potted Plants inside, pay a few bills, balance the checkbook, & change out all the summer clothes for much warmer ones....

I'm off here for now.... Have a great one....

New HOUSE!!!!

We've moved....

Finally.... we're done.... with the exception of moving the 2 burn piles from the old place, it's all finished....

Our new place is all settled.... the garage has to be finished yet, organized.... it's gonna be weird, when Scott places something on a shelf, it's gonna be there when he goes back for it.... LOL....

Anyhow, I'm off to go find my camera so I can get pics.... Check back soon, and I'll have them posted.....

We move tomorrow....

Hard to believe, but the day is almost here.... We are at the point now where it just needs to get done.... We were up till midnight again last night.... this time we were upstairs sweeping, bagging trash, taking out air conditioners, etc.... I started on the bathroom up there, but was tired I quit.... We got our showers, relaxed for about 15 minutes infront of the t.v., then off to bed....

We've been helping the boys get things settled at their house.... I really want to get pictures, but it always seems to be dark when I get there....

I may not update for a few days, since we will be so busy.... I will post pics as soon as I can.... Please say a prayer for us....

I almost want to call the boys....

LOL.... Call me crazy, but I'm almost ready to pick up the phone.... This is crazy....

Last night I could barely sleep, it took me over an hour to settle last night.... We are so used to hearing t.v.'s, voices, and of course the kids up & down the steps at all hours....

Anyhow, the kids are just about settled into their new home.... Just a few things left here.... Tonight Scott hooked up their propane tanks for their hot water, while I showed them how to put up a shower curtain.... I will get pics as soon as I can....

We are just about all packed & ready to start moving.... We really can't wait.... I'm ready to just get it done & over with.... Scott is out cleaning the barn tonight (yes at 11PM....).... I cleaned out all the upper cabinets (will pack it all tomorrow)....

Starting Wednesday I will be babysitting Rylin.... for those of you who don't know, she is Tony's girl friends baby.... What a little cutie.... Just had her 1st birthday on Saturday.... Guess I should include Tony's girlfriends name.... It's Nikki....

Well, I'm headed to bed.... all this packing & helping the kids move really tires a person out.... I'll be glad when it's over....

It's just not the same....

As much as I've complained about the heavy boots on the steps, the running in and out at all hours.... I miss them....

They're not officially out yet, but Darren is staying at the new place tonight, Scottie is at work, & Tony is at Nikki's..... So it's just Scott & I, in the BIG.... QUIET.... house....

This next week will be a busy one, so my mind will be busy.....

Tomorrow is the 1st day of archery, so Scott will be in the woods until about 10AM.... then at 1PM, we have Rylin's birthday party.... After that we are home for the weekend..... Lots to do around here, before we move on Thursday.....
