We're Here!

We moved into our new house a week and a half ago. It seems like SO much has happened in the last month! Since this house is double the size of our old one, I am having a really hard time filling up all the extra space. We have 1 room that has absolutely nothing in it. The other rooms are coming along, slowly. I haven't hung up one picture though, so pictures will have to wait until then.

On that note, my camera will be here tomorrow! It is not the new one I am getting for Christmas, I am finally getting our point and shoot fixed. It broke 3 months ago, so there have been no new pictures of Jocie. You are going to flip when you see how big she has gotten since you last saw pics!

I am really sad that we couldn't take the tree painting from Jocelyn's nursery with us. I am debating whether or not to do another one. But then, that's just one more thing that I can't take when we move out of here. I will probably do it anyways. I have decided I am going to do her new room with owls. The wall are green and most of her stuff is pink and to tell you the truth I really didn't feel like repainting. So, I bought a couple of canvases and I am going to paint my own owl pictures. There was no way I was going to spend $65 on one from etsy. Hopefully they will be done soon!

Today, my sweet niece, Nola James is 1 year old!

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOLA!

Running out of days

In a week and 2 days we are leaving for Tennessee! I can't believe how fast time is flying by. I am not stressed out about packing or actually moving, I am mostly stressed out about finding time to see each of my friends before I leave. Since I am still working until this Friday, there are only so many evening that we can get together. Luckily, it seems like it will all work out. We are having a few little get-togethers with family this weekend, and Jocelyn and I went to Tampa to visit with my sister last weekend.

Now, the other thing is getting paperwork and doctors appts and vet/grooming appts taken care of. I am now realizing how much more difficult an out of state move is.

Last week, we took a "scouting" trip up to Chattanooga to look for a house to rent. I already knew which one I wanted before we got there. I was just hoping that it was as nice in person as it was in the pictures. of course, it was!

The best thing about moving to that area (besides the seasons) is that we are paying less for this house than we pay for our Florida house. It is double the size too. Crazy.

All the houses in the neighborhood look like this one, and it is on a cul-de-sac. I couldn't have found a better house for us to live in.

                                         

                                  

I'll post more pictures after we move in and I can show the before/after with all of our stuff!

The other cool thing when we move is that I get to stay home with Jocie, and not work! I am really looking forward to being able to take her to play-dates and Moms clubs and not have to worry about leaving early to go to work a few days a week. We get to learn the town together. Of course, this will be re-evaluated after a few months of not having any of the extra money we were used to.
