Hey everyone! well we are in the TEENS of moving!! we only have 18 days until we will have loaded our uhaul and said our goodbyes! Its a sad, sad thought! Its also an exciting new adventure. Moving to a place where we can explore, is something i am looking forward to! Traverse is somewhere we have visited, and its where brian proposed, but to live there is a new game.
Brian put in an application on a house yesterday! its in a small town-- which we love! its on the outskirts of traverse, but close enough to enjoy the "city" but far enough out to have some peace and quiet! We are kind of excited about this house, because the landlord is going to let me paint, the bus goes by for slade, it has a big yard and a deck (slades SUPER excited about the deck) ! All things will happen the way they should, we just have to wait it out. Plus, we will know our neighbor! out of all the houses in the traverse city area, we applied for the house next door to someone we went to school with. Its the ONLY family we knew of that lived out that way, and its pretty funny that out of all the houses, we will be next door.... that is IF we get the house. we should find out in the next few days. If not we have a couple of other options, but not one we WANT to go for, but if we have to, we will. We are on a waitlist for an apartment, but it doesnt except pets and we didnt know that until just recently, so that is out of the question. Then brian got shown some trailers yesterday...... Its not what we want, but it will be a house for a small period of time, until we find the RIGHT house for us. At this point, we just need something, and this house that came along is perfect.... so here is to hoping!
I have to point out that Brian is amazing. He is taking on the house hunting, which is something he doesnt normally do. I trust him with all my heart, and he knows what i like, so if he says i will love it, i will love it. Plus he is taking some of the stress off of me, which is nice. I tend to FREAK out and that just causes tension, so i will let him hold the reigns for once! ha! Plus i have alot to stress over right now!
So we had a lot of drama here in housing and it happened the night before brian left for this detachment. it was a domestic situation that led to a shooting.I know its not my place to type about it, because i do not know all the details, nor is it my business. I feel terrible for being paranoid, but it was my wall to wall neighbor and her family. They are REALLY KIND people. It was a fluke thing, so i know that my anxiety got the best of me. Anyways, for the first week, i was scared that someone was going to come back and my nerves were "shot".... there has been alot of commotion and its sad to say that she moved out, and now i feel this sense of relief, and worry is off of my shoulders. I know that is a horrible thing, and i never felt any differently for her, if anything i felt sorry for her and her two kids..... because she was/ is a kind woman who has just been through, A LOT!!! my worry wasnt with her, my worry was with the ex husband/friends. Now that her moving is over, and i have an empty house next door to me, i feel a little safer. I know that is a horrible thing to say, but its true. Like i said, i have no ill feelings toward her, only sympathy....... But this pointed out to me, that no matter how safe you feel, something could ALWAYS happen!! Now i am not losing sleep over loud banging noises, and being paranoid, but now i am losing sleep over a damn bird nest with babies in the gutter below our bedroom window, and mice in the attic of either our house or our neighbors. Called housing to get rid of them, so lets see what happens! I guess what i was getting at with all of this, is that i can't wait to sleep SOUND again, when brian is home! I don't own a baseball bat, but i have a heavy duty curtain rod next to my side of the bed, so burglars better watch out ;) bahahaa....
Kendal is potty training right now. And i forgot how TIME SUCKING and frustrating it can be! ITs also REALLY rewarding of course!! She is in that stage where its hit or miss on the potty, and if she doesnt potty while she is sitting there, she is sure to pee in her undies less than five minutes from getting up from the potty. we go through about well 14pairs of undies a day... hahaha. Glad its my last potty training run through...... haha. Its all worth it, but at this point I am fried, and i am ready for an extra set of hands to join in and help!
We have so many fun things going on in the next few days that im looking forward to it so much!! on Saturday we are having a yard sale.... also on saturday brian comes home in the afternoon, and later that evening i am going on a girls night for appetizers/drinks and MAGIC MIKE! Im sooo excited for that. Then on sunday we are going to motor world for a reward for sladen being great while bri was gone. then Tuesday night we have DATE NIGHHHHHT!!!! and wednesday is 4th of july, so we are having a bbq with friends. Brian has a 5 day weekend....... its just alot to look forward to and im excited!!! Not to mention sissy turns 2 in a couple of weeks! like 16 days!! wow!
Well lets see, i think i have run out of things to say! i know there is more i wanted to type about, but its nearly 11 and i am not showered and i am still in my jammies and sipping coffee. Talk about LAZY BUM! need to get my biscuits in gear!
Have a WONDERFUL rest of your week!!
