October Already...

So I have to figure out what I want to do with blog. I have many hobbies, running being #1 and than baking which I have breakfast cookies in the oven right now. Also love to cook and find new recipes to tryout. I even tried my hand at CakePops. Those are a messy project. Then decorating and crafts for the kiddos.

I am going to start doing more with this blog. Also figure out what direction I want this blog to go. As always I will be with my kiddos. Got a fun weekend plan to celebrate my daughters 11th birthday. Happy Weekend.

Crazy Summer

As summer draws to a end as we are approaching Labor Day Weekend. School starts the day after Labor Day.

As the girls and I get settled into our new community. We are learning where everything is and where all the other kids are. My #2 daughter has started a dog walking business.
I have stuck with my running which has helped me.

How did I forget how much I hate earthquakes. We have had four since we moved back.

Getting into a schedule

It's been a month since we said good bye to Minnesota. In that month I have found many challenges and struggles. Relearning to co-habitat. 9 months is a long time to get used to doing it all on your own. I am liking having Chris back around. Nice not always being the bad guy.

The trip itself had lots of ups and downs. For the biggest one being the SUV is still in Arizona. The poor thing decided it was done driving. Next is having a house with very little in it. We only sent the Pod with beds and boxes, so we are starting over that way.
We are lucky we have the summer to learn the area and the library is one of our favorite place. Which is we are right now and I can post this blog. Since no Internet at the house yet. Its coming but they need to bring in a line to do it so its a huge amount to get it set up. Since the house is 40 years old and never been wired for Internet before. So I will get by until then. 
Other things not helping is the girls got sick with impetigo. A skin infections. No idea how they got it. But now it is gone. Woo hoo.

Then the most irritating things is my phone is acting up. It hates to charge and geek squad lost my protection plan. So waiting for that to be fixed so they can fix my phone.

But I am happy with my new home and my new city. It is a work in progress and I am getting there.


Have a wonderful Blessed day.

7 States Down.....

Day 4 of our epic roadtrip /moving trip. We had a great time in Chicago visited great friends.  Bob was the best tour guide.
Even found Wrigley's stadium trying to  dodge the crazy Chicago traffic.  After 2 days in Chicago we said goodbye at night time to Chicago and promised to go visit again.
Then we had the a 17 hour drive ahead of us to be in Fort Worth Texas.  I was informed there is a difference between Fort Worth and Dallas.

We did little stopping through the night to get to St. Louis we did pull over for photo open.  The Archway is cool. After many hours of driving er took a small detour into Kansas yo get another state.
Well Kansas sucks from Emily which I  agree with that statement. We wanted to try a little diner which was only 5 miles out of way.  The Diner  was showcased on diners. Dives, and drive-ins from the Food Network.  No menu food just buffet so we left and got Sonic. 
Back on the road got lost trying to get back to Interstate 44.  Oklahoma was a long drive. Girls got a little restless in the car All day.  Then just wanted to get to Texas so they said no big stops lets go.  It took us about 20 hours from Chicago to Fort Worth Texas... not bad for four girls.

In Texas we have had the best with our old neighbors  and dear friends. Swimming and laundry was my plan. Even got a run in.  My body was nit used to running in 90 degree heat.  Only did 2.6 miles
Run is a run so I am proud I made time for run. 

More on the road later as I snuggle into my hotel bed.
