Changes!

What is a New Year without making some changes... Some changes are made by choice while other changes are not by choice... but in the end, things all worked out!

New Job...

The biggest change of all this year is Scott's new job. So far so good! It has been different having him home, but I think he is having the hardest time adjusting. Scott is not used to being home all the time. He's getting stir crazy! Being winter, it is even harder... we can't go outside, we are cooped up and that isn't fun! We are still in transition, but this was the best move for the family. The kids love having him home. Emma has another person to run to for a shoulder to cry on. I have to say, what a huge burden taken off my shoulders. I feel like I can relax a bit and laugh at my kids instead of yelling at them!

Closet Organizer!

I love my house, for the most part.... I hate that we don't have a basement or place to store things... After 5 years in this house we've collect A LOT of things! We decided to change some things around here to so we don't feel like we are living in clutter! First, we are finally using our crawl space. We've put toys and baby items down there... Also, we are utilizing our HUGE walk in closet. We contracted a guy to build an organizer with shelving, cabinets, and a work table. Still a work in progress... pictures to come!

So Long "Black" car...

Taken back in 2006.

Scott's dear sweet Focus has met an untimely death! On the way back from dropping his parents off at the airport he slid on a patch of snow and hit a barrier. He had this car long before we met and lately all it was used for was traveling to and from the airport. Now, we are a one car family. We thought we would try it out for awhile and see how long before we have to find something else...

Computer...

We moved the computer from upstairs to the downstairs office... So my access is now more limited... It is very good thing for me... I noticed I've been on the computer a lot more lately and I need to find something else to keep me occupied... perhaps a book, a puzzle or maybe I can finally get back into scrapbooking!
