Greetings!!! Did you miss me? I know it's been a while. The reason is we have moved!!!! Yes, it took a long 25 hours to drive halfway across the country with three adults, two children, one kitty, and huge moving truck and two cars. But we did it! It was a long trip. We had to stop so frequently because of lots of potty breaks, poopy diapers, kitty walking around, and food and gas breaks. But we managed.
I didn't want to stay away so long but it's been rough getting things in order. Our first day here we really missed Florida. We went from 90 degree weather to snow flurries. That was really crazy. The cold just killed us. I am going to have to get used to living up in the mid-west again and no more sunny beaches and sand time.
It's actually a bit warmer today. So that's nice. More like Florida weather without all the crazy humidity. We are currently living back in my parents house for the time being and have been searching today for our own place. We found one we like and I hope we can get it. It's been a bit stressful with all of us under one roof. My parents are pretty stressed out/high strung people and so there has been some tension. We are more laid back and so lots of nagging and stuff has been going on. But we have been trying to make it work. It hasn't even been a week yet and I'm already very irritated. I really wish we could just move into our own place right now. The place we found isn't available til August and I don't know how much longer anyone can hold their sanity. Something will work out though.
My parents decorated my brother's old bedroom and bathroom into a room for my daughter. They put some of my old paintings and my old 'Nsync dolls and things in there on the walls. But it's all now Monster High {which is her favorite}. I think my mom did a good job. Here is the bedroom:
We are still moving things around and unpacking so some stuff is out of order, but you see how it's supposed to be. And here is the bathroom:
So I am trying hard to get back into blogging. Time seems to run short and so does my patience lately. We will see though. Hopefully I can make it without going crazy. I have some things we have been working on I'm excited to share with you all. Until next time.... aloha!

It must be hard living with the folks but that was super sweet of them to decorate for your daughter!
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't be so bad if it were just me...but with our whole family here...it can start getting a bit crazy. But it was really nice my mom made up that whole room/bathroom for her.
Deleteoh yes I missed you! and i understand about blogging, sometimes you just need to step away from it. I will have my time when this baby comes!
ReplyDeleteI missed you too! I'm still trying to get caught up with everyone's blog. Ugh... everything feels like no time for anything. And yes, you will have your hands full with a new baby in the house! Can't wait though :) I'm excited for you
DeleteWe have been living at home for 2 and a half years now. It is hard to get a long some times but we found it has worked out well for us. There are days that I want to pull my hair out and I find my self looking for apartments or houses online but in the end I remind my self that they do not charge as much rent and they are forgiving when I can not pay rent and they help me so so so so sooooo much with my little ladies and our rent helps them out with bills so it all works out for us. I think that you all will find a balance soon its hard with moving away from another state that you loved and there is always an adjustment period when you have to suck it up and move back home. I think you all will find a place before you know it and you will find that moving back was a good idea! :) We will miss you all down here. :)
ReplyDeleteI am thankful they do not charge us anything right now to live here. Not until one of us can get a job at least. There are so many jobs here it's crazy. Seemed like down there, no one was hiring, and here... all you see if hiring signs up. I am still in shock about that. Things have calmed down a bit though. Other people are now getting on my nerves instead of my parents. I can't wait though to have own own space. And I cannot believe how cheap rent is around here. I've been finding beautiful houses for rent for under $500 a month. It's crazy, like a whole other world here LOL...I do miss Florida though. The weather here has been really cold and I do not like that
DeleteSo glad your long journey is over! It's a long trip for sure. Brian and I drove from Eastern Pennsylvania to California -- so I totally get it!

Wow, that is an even longer drive. I don't know if I could do that LOL... but I'm glad you understand how crazy a long trip is. With kids...it was a lot worse LOL but not as bad as I thought
DeleteGlad your move went as well as possible! That sounds like a crazy trip.
ReplyDeleteI know I could not stand living with my parents, even though I love them and love visiting them. Good luck, I hope you all can get along alright until you get your own place!!
I really do love my parents and I think if it were just me and the kids, we would be fine... but with the husband, it's been making things a bit more difficult. He's been in a seriously bad mood lately and it's been pissing me off
