Hailey, so happy to be out of her carseat! At a hotel in Helena, Mt.

Hailey. Manic from being in her carseat for 1,400 miles....

Most of these pics were taken by Hannah with her new camera. I took the one of her when we were stopped at a light.

I'll try to get some pics of our new place. Haven't had time to do that yet.

Blessings!

We're still busy unpacking and getting things in order. Our apartment is...how shall I say....cozy:) I "knew" it would be. But knowing it, and the reality of it are two very different things. It's definately tested my creativity! My step-momma calls me "The little old lady who lives in a shoe.....box." That just about sums it up:) Really though, I'm just thankful to have a place to live and it's really beautiful up here. I missed it. The apartment thing is temporary and I'm trusting the Lord to see us through all that's going on.

In other news, I'm back to my bargain-hunting ways. Tomorrow I plan on hitting Walgreens. If everything works out I'll get $40 worth of stuff for around $8. I'm still scoping out the best grocery store(s). Tomorrow night I'll try real hard to get those pics up that I promised you last weekend. We're going to a really cool place tomorrow and I want to add that in too.

We were going to start school back up on Monday but the kids and I are going over to visit my Dad instead. Michael's going to be out of town for training so we're going to sneak over there.
After that, we'll start school and I'll be looking for a job:)

Blessings!

We're here!

Well, we're here! We're slowly getting unpacked. My brother-in-law met us here on Friday and helped Michael unload the moving truck. Then he took the 4 older kids to his house for the weekend to allow me and Michael to hunt down furniture and get things in shape around here. They had a blast at their house and it was such a blessing for us. Next thing on my "list" is to find a p/t job. I'm also tossing up starting my cleaning biz again. We'll see.
Blessings!

We're off!

Well, as of last night. We stayed last night in Farmington, NM. Tonight we're in Salt Lake City. Tomorrow, Helena Mt. then onto Spokane. Please pray for safety and all that good stuff. We're all incredibly tired and a bit snappy with each other but have had a good trip so far. Hannah's been snapping tons of pics with her new camera that she saved up for. Will post those sometime next week. I've never driven through Colorado or Utah or Montana for that matter so we've been taking tons of pictures. Beautiful places:) Take care!
