Yesterday we moved into our new house! But better yet last night we officially adopted a new friend. Her name is Molly. Right now she's hiding back by the garage door she came in through. I think she really misses her rescuer's home. But her rescuer had something like 11 dogs in her care. Molly … Continue reading New House, New Family Member

House
We signed for a house today! It's a decent size with a big front porch with an ocean view and a screened in back porch with a mountain view. We will start clearing out of the hotel this weekend and will completely move in Monday after the rental furniture arrives that will tie us over … Continue reading House
L’s Last Day
The movers come to start packing our house tomorrow, so L's last day with us is today. Her coordinator will be picking her up today. Having an exchange student has been a wonderful cultural experience, and L has become family to us. We wanted to take her out for a nice lunch, but the car … Continue reading L’s Last Day
Busy Day
I got up at 5 to drive to another city to drop the car off for shipping. It didn't take that long to get there, but driving on the highway makes me nervous, and if I'd left at the appropriate time, I would have hit traffic. So I left while it was dark. Since I … Continue reading Busy Day
Wonderful Weekend
My Mother's Day weekend has been a joy! Yesterday, my husband C took us all to a fun event in the city. Then we grabbed lunch and dessert at The Cheesecake Factory. Today I woke up to a wonderful gift, we watched church, and then we got pizza for lunch. After that, we tie dyed … Continue reading Wonderful Weekend

Museum, Glasses, Help
We've been busy today. We met L, our exchange student's, cousins in the city for lunch. Then we went to a science museum. Now we're back at home resting. L is still in the city with her cousins. I've posted 3 Youtube videos. I'm still finding my voice, and I haven't shown my face. But … Continue reading Museum, Glasses, Help
Careers Are Unnecessary
I have never had a career. I was working when I met my husband, but it was just a retail job. It was very easy to walk away from, and as soon as my husband and I were engaged, with his permission I quit. Careers are overrated. Unlike a husband or children, they don't love … Continue reading Careers Are Unnecessary
Busy week
Our visit with my parents last weekend was fantastic. Seeing them warmed my heart. I was runnning on very little sleep, but I still had a good time. Tonight, A is going to spend the night at my sister's house. She's super excited about it! I'm so glad she has her aunt back in her … Continue reading Busy week
Great Day
My daughter A had the day off today, but my husband and our exchange student did not, so it was just A and I. So we bonded! We got Taco Bell for lunch and then went on a shopping spree to the fabric store since it's closing soon. I got so much fabric! I got … Continue reading Great Day
