It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas is over.

-
We finally took down the Christmas decorations today and the house is back to normal. It's always such a bittersweet time. This year even more so because we downsized a lot for the move. We went from 8 or 9 large tubs to 5. I have the hardest time getting rid of anything. I seem to think eventually I will use it again, even though it sits in a box year after year. Our move is really going to get my butt in gear to get rid of anything that is not needed. Why can't I take it all with me?!?! Believe it or not, I feel like I am more prepared for this move (at the moment) than I have been with any other. I know that is a shocker to all of you who know me and how much of a procrastinator I am! We only have a little over a month and a half to go before we put the house on the market. Fingers crossed we stay ahead of the game with the purging. (I feel like Rob Schneider is in my head repeatedly saying "You can do it".) Ha! :)

Well, this was kind of a short and sweet post tonight. I felt getting back to normalcy for the moment was a blog worthy moment. Talk to ya'll soon.

Hey y'all! My name is Lisa and I am a 40 year old mother of 3. Tanner (20), Brooklyn (7) and Rylan (5). Yes, I started all over after 13 years and had two more kids. Most people think I am crazy, HA! There are some days that I agree, but most days, it is amazing. My kids definitely give me a run for my money and I would have it no other way. I have been married to my wonderful husband Nathan for 7 years now. He is a truly good man for putting up with me. He is my rock and the one I love going home to each night. I currently work full time as an Assistant Director at a private preschool. I absolutely LOVE my job! There are days it is very stressful and I want to pull my hair out, but then there are those days where I walk down the hall and am tackled by a group of kids needing a big hug. As of two weeks ago, I gave my notice at work and will be leaving in April. I never thought giving a four month notice would be so hard. My bosses, friends and co-workers are like family to me. So...

Purging

Last night we starting purging. We started in the kitchen. Who knew you could have so much crap in there that is NEVER used?!?! We aren't even close to being done either. It doesn't seem like there is enough time in the day to start clearing out the house before we put it on the market. Reality is really starting to set in and it's making me a little sad. I love what we have and where we live so much. Our neighborhood is full of very special people we have grown close to the last 3 years. We have a church and church family that I have made so many new and forever friends with. Like I said in my first blog, my mom and my son.... All of our family here....I am going to miss it all SO much. We are just ready to start living a little simpler. We don't need all the things we have. It's just materialistic stuff, right? In my eyes, so much of it has a meaning behind it, whether it be from somewhere we have traveled or it's something from my mom. We honestly have more t...

What has been going on in this crazy girls life?!?!

Hey friends! It's been a little over a month since I have posted, but I am back, well for the moment at least. I should be cleaning, BUT I don't want to. Today we went and bought our fifth wheel. It is really OURS now. We haven't brought it home yet since we don't have a place for it at the moment. If you are in the market for an RV, I highly recommend you go talk to Terry at RV Station in Tyler. He was amazing to work with and he didn't hassle us for a sale. He was VERY professional. We went with a Montana High Country and boy is she a beauty. I can't wait to give y'all a tour of the inside. I thought a little suspense was needed, so I won't share yet. (insert evil laugh) I knew this was all meant to be today when we were doing our walk-thru and a lady bug flew on the front of the rig as we walked up to it. Pretty cool if you believe in that kind of stuff. We got our truck to pull the rig as well. A 2016 Ford F350 Dually. It's a mean looking truck. ...
