Looking through my blog that I tried to start, found out that it was February of 2012 that I started writing again. It's been almost a year since I brought home that old typewriter.
Wow. I'll try harder this year...maybe.
I tried writing my testimony from coming out of Oregon City, where God led us, etc. I almost have no interest in continuing this path. I feel it's something not everyone needs to know, probably offensive to some, but I could share if I needed to. God is working in my life daily, and my testimony changes all the time. Each day is a new beginning...
So...on with the NEW!
Lot's of new things come with February. Melting snow, warmer temperatures, but most prominent is our new life in Idaho.
Again.
Yes, we've moved to Nampa, back into our "rental home" that we originally purchased in 2001, when I was going to "die" here. Meaning I was tired of moving, I wanted to stay in this house, raise our kids and die an old woman, in this house...Back when we had two little boys and a baby girl, we fit perfectly.
But, that's before we moved up to WA, and were landlords 500 miles away for 10 years...
A TOTALLY other blog post...for some other time...
We moved back in to this house over time. My husband relocated in August of last year for his job, and the kids and I tied up business/loose ends in WA...finally moving over (minus Lucas) in October.
Lucas finally had enough, finished his first semester, and moved over here in December, and now, we're all together again. With an acceptance letter from a college he'd love to go to...onward to Graduation!
So, where do you begin when you come back home?
Well, it started by getting the kitchen set up, as it IS the heart of the home, right? Reorganizing all the things my husband had while living here, adding the items we were able to move over, while leaving a few behind for Lucas.
As of this day, I have my old toaster and microwave back...I'm a happy mama!
Cramming 6 people into a one bathroom home with almost 1900 square feet is a challenge...Organizing the linen closet by color of towel per person, and labeling shelves for each family member is a start to organized chaos!
I've wanted to live in this house for over 10 years, so I'm giving it a go!
Plus, it's a fraction of the house payment we had in WA! Remember that college bill we have coming soon!? Save, Save, Save!
I'm painting, organizing, decorating and "making" my home...
I'm enjoying living closer to my niece, and her son...
I'm figuring out my way around (again)
Found a wonderful group of ladies at BSF, and didn't miss a class!
It feels good to "be home"... Again...
Until next time...God bless.
