Count Down Begins!!!!

Well, got a call from Curt this week and he told me that he received a call and said that we need to be out of this house by May 14th-15th!!! WOW!!!!!!!! That is less than a month away!!!!! With the whole relocation deal and with having his work set everything up, we have to be out 2 weeks before they sign, and they are signing June 1st, so....
Also have a SOLD sign on the house!!! (Maybe the "drive-bys" will stop!! We have gotten sooooooo many people coming by and just stopping and staring!!! Atleast 4 to 5 per day!!!!!) That makes it a little more official too!!! :O) Seems so weird though! I am so excited, but wow!
Now, I am not sure if we will be out of the state by then too, or if we will be hanging out here for a couple more weeks after May 14th. It all depends on this baby and when he/she comes! If the baby comes this week-end or next (which I am praying for! lol), then I am thinking we will be out of the state by then. But not 100% sure!!! It also depends on when I get the go ahead from my doc for me to travel. Even though I will be doing none of the packing or loading! Yep, that's right! The movers will pack EVERYTHING and load the truck and then unload the truck! We can even have them unpack everything if we want! They won't put anything away, but will set things on the floor in the right rooms!!! NICE!!!!!!!
I am soooooooooo excited to be moving, but sad to leave my friends! But we know for SURE that we are going where we need to be! ;o)
Curt went house hunting last Thursday and narrowed it down to 3 and then he and I narrowed it down to 1!!! :O) This house is soooooooo nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only bad thing is, none of the houses he looked at had a huge yard, but there is enough for the kids to run around in the back yard! Maybe even plant a small garden, so you know if I can do that, you know there aren't any trees (or hilly driveways!!!!)!!!! LOL!!!!! :oP He is going to try to go back to this one house on Thursday and get some pic's of the inside of it for me! But I totally trust him! I LOVE the outside of the house and the neighborhood looks nice! VERY NICE!!!!!! :o) He is so sweet too! He made sure each one of the houses he looked at had a nice kitchen! ;o) The house is in Waldorf, Maryland. So I guess we will be living in Maryland! :O)
Have another crazy week ahead of us! Curt leaves Monday for the airport, have an inspector coming then that afternoon, which we need to be out of the house, :O(, then Tuesday a guy from the moving company will be here to see how much of a semi we will be taking up and how many boxes, then I guess the rest of the week is kinda easy. Well, as easy as it gets for me!! SO hard to bend down and pick things up!!!! So if you come over, don't look under my couches, I haven't been able to bend down to get them cleaned! I would make the kids, but have been letting them play outside EVERY chance we can take!!!!! ;o) Plus trying to finish up school work with Kotah and then Gavin wants to do his school work. Which is dot to dot! :O) Then we pick Curt up from the airport on Friday! Then I have the baby then, right? LOL Wishful thinking!!!! ;o)

Oh.My.Goodness.
All I know is that I've been where you are, my sweet friend. So not fun. Moving with a newborn is for the birds. I'm praying for you. Praying in agreement for the baby to come this week (but not til Curt gets home!) :-)
AND, let me just say that "unpacking" is more like DUMPING your stuff in the right room. No 'setting' involved! We did that with our first relo ... and will never do it again! I have them unpack hanging clothes in the closet and THAT'S IT!
It sounds good, but you actually end up with a bigger mess on your hands! Another tidbit of advice - when the packers come, ask them to label the boxes with the contents so you know what is inside without having to rifle through to find out.

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
