Soap Box

I have so many random things going on. I need to vent, soap box, just write it down. Enjoy!

UPS delivered a great check today. Profit from our house sale. Wish they delivered these kind of checks everyday.

AT&T sent a rebate in the form of a debt card. Have you ever used one? I now know to spend the whole amount at once but GESH, how cheesy!

Allstate was cheap! Sorry USAA moving car over too to save almost $600 a year. Same coverage lots of savings. AND the savings because we no longer live in Florida is amazing. Auto is half as much a year and home owners is less than $800 for the year. I couldn't believe it that is over $1000 less than Florida and we had cheap insurance in Fl. Our homeowners went up to over $3000 one year with Citizens. No wonder there are so many foreclosed houses in Florida. Insurance went up from $700 to the highest at over $3000 in a ten year period. NUTS!

The federal law that will not let you get information unless your name on the bill is a pain! Note to self get everything in both names.

Mail lady gave Madison a lollipop one day, now all three want to wait for the mail lady to get a lollipop. CUTE! Only took once for all three kids to go meet her at the curb. The mail lady loves it! But all I got was mail?

Closing on the new house Monday, June 29th! UM that is only a week!

Free chocolate is cool. www.realchocolate.com every Friday!

Deep sinks, french doors on refrigerators, counter tops ~dare I say two different kinds! So trendy! Dishwasher that holds 17 place settings (wish I could afford that one).

Pool!

Pink, purple and NAVY? I have lots of painting to do.

Mermaids, pink poodles and space ships.

Oh and there is the grand piano AGAIN! Darn thing is always creeping up into the picture.

Really need to find a family doctor before someone gets sick. We are on waiting lists.

Finally found a church. Summit Crossing Community Church or SC3. Kinda like CC, but never will be able to replace CC.

Mom visiting in July, moving in July, Scrapbooking in July! Visiting family in JULY! TURNING ANOTHER YEAR OLDER IN JULY! July is looking busy!

I need to wash this grey out of my hair. Where did it all come from?

Nathan has officially stepped into the terrible threes. I will take two over three any day! Three to four is the worst! So far..... I'm sure they will have moments later in life too. Maybe that explains the grey!

I no longer own a Florida home. Bitter Sweet. Loving the savings in Alabama, but Florida will always be home. It really is expensive to live in Florida. Didn't realize that until we moved.

Come back often for house updates and such!

Hey girl,

We're home safe and sound.

I don't envy all those details of selling and buying. What will you do with all of your extra time when this is done next week?

I've got a package for the kids. I'll send it once I get all this laundry clean and put away.

Talk to you soon.

Thank You 2010

I try very hard not to base my life on my location, size of house, materials I possess, new cars or the latest fashions. It is not something that is easy for me or something I don't have to work on everyday. I have chosen my life to be about Christ and not this world. I try to understand this world in the point of view of Christ. This world is not about what, but who. Even if you are not a Christian it is nobel to do for others. I have chosen in my life to follow Christ. Not perfect, just forgiven. I chose to help organizations that are centered on the love of Christ. My main point this holiday season is to remember the who and not the what. I always thought it would be cool to start a Thank You Card movement. Not that I do things for a thank you. A thank you card just shows me that I did something for someone else that was nice, meaningful, worthy. Kinda like a report card. So my challenge to you is to get a thank you card in 2010. It doesn't have to cost you mon...

Southern Charm

We made an offer (low), the owners countered (expected) and they countered exactly what I thought they would. So, unless the inspector says the house should be demolished we will be the owners of a 1965, full brick, colonial style, bi-level house the second week of July or earlier. It is on a golf course, 6th fairway. It has a pool, fireplace, an original 60's kitchen (redo), hardwood floors, two car garage and much more. We know the process is long when buying a house in this condition. It's not in deplorable shape, livable in need of some updates. It is 44 years old and has not had major updates. This house is 10 years newer than our last house. It has character and southern charm. Not perfect, but perfect for us. Photos on the web are copyrighted. Not sure If I can post them here. I will try and do a link instead......

Dogwood

On our 13 hour car ride to our new dwelling place I had to drop Mark and Delta off at the Chattanooga airport to get his truck. He flew from Chattanooga to St. Pete to come home to drive with us to our new digs.  Chattanooga is the closest airport other than Birmingham (1.5 hours away) that flies directly to Tampa/Saint Petersburg.  The Chattanooga airport is two hours from our new house.  This meant that I got to drive by myself with the kids for the last two hours of the very long trip.  Of course all the kids fell asleep, which is not good when you are leaving your hometown of almost 30 years. First time on the trip it was quiet.  Most days that would be a blessing, but this Sunday was not the case.  I needed noise to keep my mind from thinking about all that was happening.     So what does any girl do in a time like this?  I called my mom. One of the few times I am thankful for the invention of the cell phone.  The drive from Chattanooga to our house is so pretty and there are so m...
