We Are In Our New Home

Well, it is done. We finished cleaning our Wellsville home Sunday afternoon and are completely out of that home and have gotten everything moved into our new Nibley home. Last week I took Wed thru Fri off of work, to spend moving and cleaning. I cannot believe how many boxes we have to unpack. Our garage is full of boxes in no certain order. It's probably going to take me at least a month to empty boxes and organize and put everything away.
We couldn't have done it without all the help we got. Members of the Priesthood (of our Wellsville 7th Ward) came over Thursday night and helped us move everything out of our Wellsville home. For fear of missing one of them, I don't want to try and list them all. To them THANK YOU! We wouldn't have been able to get it done without you! And when they left it was very hard to say good-bye. Wellsville 7th Ward will always have a place in my heart!
And then on Saturday morning, Sara, Irene and Shanell (my friends at work) came and helped me clean the Wellsville home. Again without their help I would have never gotten it done! Thank You so much!
Also, I need to thank Allen & his family for coming over and helping us get the few rooms in the new house that needed painted.
And of course the obvious, but never getting acknowledgement...Ralph, Matt and Alex. All three were true troopers! Packing, moving and cleaning! and now they have to help me unpack!!! The joy continues!!! And it may sound silly...but thanks to Chris, Jason and Erika...continually encouraging me, over the phone , to de-junk, organize and pack. And now that I am unpacking, I am still being told that there is more that I can get rid of, so I will have enough space in our house for everything! Lesley came over Saturday night and helped me decide where to put a lot of my pictures for decorating. Now I know where I want to put a lot of them, it's just getting them on the walls!
And if I have forgotten anyone...I didn't mean to. Thanks to all that has helped me in the process.
I love our new home. It is a tri-level, which is the type of house I have always wanted. Once I get things in order or at least semi-order I will post some pictures.
As I close for today, just a thought that has been coming to my mind...now that the holidays are officially coming upon us...THANKSGIVING! I hope that all of us will truly take a few minutes on a daily basis and ponder our blessings and truly give Thanks to our Heavenly Father and to those around us that bless us everyday! Sometimes, we ponder more on our trials and problems that we forget what is truly important in our lives! Enough for now!
Again thanks to all that have helped my family in the move and just for being around.

Never mind...

okay so never mind, I still have to do some more experimenting before I try putting more on...sorry, we will have to get caught up later.
Have a great weekend!

Getting caught up on pictures...

I kind of figured out how to add pictures...just don't know how to place them, so hopefully you'll get the picture (no pun intended, well actually there was) I mean you'll get the idea...see the things that I have been blogging about...

In All Fairness

Last time I wrote, I was pretty down and negative. Then to top it off the Sunday School lesson I had to give to my 12/13 yr old class was "Be of Good Cheer". So needless to say I felt pretty guilty and realized that I truly am blessed. Even though we are having a lot of trials and challenges, I was reminded that my Heavenly Father does love me and is there for me. So I started thinking of the good things in my life. I love my family and am so blessed with the love that they share with me.
I actually was blessed to go down to St. George for 5 days. I got to spend some time with Erika and her friends down there. It was so good to see them and play with them. It was kind of interesting cus one of the days we went to Sand Hallow, a lake. And we got to get in. It was a tad bit chilly, but we had a really fun time. Then one day we went to Las Vegas. We went to different casinos that we had never been in before. It amazes me how beautiful they can make these places. Of course, we went and watched the fountains at the Belagio. We walked through Paris, Venezia and a few more. Even though it's considered sin city, it really is entertaining. I wouldn't want to live there but it is fun to visit sometimes. Again, once I learn how to post pictures, i will get some on of all these activities I speak of.
Then, Bailey had her 1st birthday this past week. I can't believe she is already a year old. I have been getting chances to spend with her everyday this week, trying to help watch her while Chris and Lesley get moved. Oh what a joy she is! She is always so happy and active! I just love being around her and watching her develop. The things she does and her facial expressions are so dang cute! I see Lesley put a picture of her eating her birthday cupcake.
Just a quick update on the selling of our house and the buying of the new one: we close tonight to sale our house, and then on Wednesday morning we will go and close on the new house! Then we will paint the few rooms that need painted on Wednesday, and then try moving all our stuff out on Thursday. Hopefully next time I will have pictures of the house.
So, yes I do question sometimes if the Lord really does know my limits, but even more important I do know that He blesses me too!
Until next time...Happy Thanksgiving. Be sure to take the time to count your blessing!
