Been long time...

WOW has it been a very long time since I have blogged.  Lots has happened since that last blog and I will try my best to get it all documented on this blog.  Moving can really take a toll on a family especially when that family is in two locations for 3 months.  Lets back up to the beginning.  Reese got a new job - Yeah - in Michigan.  He started his new job on March 2 and the girls and I stayed back to sell the house.  We were in the middle of a Master Bath renovation, a down to the studs renovation.  We had to wait until the Master Bath was done until we could put the house on the market.  Talk about stressful!  The house went on the market mid March and we had a full price offer three weeks later.  All was going great.  Reese was coming home on the weekends and we were in full gear looking for a house in Michigan.  We put an offer on a house and an hour later the offer on the Indy house was rescinded.  Talk about STRESS.  We walked away from the offer on the house in Michigan and I got our house back into showing condition in a matter of 6 hours.  Thank goodness for amazing friends who helped me that day.  Bev came and took Sage for the whole day and Patty took Quinn for a few hours.  I was able to clean the house and mow the yard for two showings that day.  It was only five days until we had another offer on our house.  The girls and stayed in Indy until May 17.  We had Sage's Pre-Kindergarten Graduation on May 15 and then a weekend with friends and we were off.  Reese to work and the girls and I to my parents.  We stayed at my parents for over three weeks - thank you!  They kept the girls so I could go to Indy and meet the movers and supervise the packing of our house.  Makes the move so much easier when you don't have to pack it all yourself!  It was a fun few days in Indy, I had lots of dinners and drinks with friends before I left.  A little weird being in the house all by myself and it not feeling like my house anymore.    Fast forward a few weeks and my parents kept the girls again so we could close on the new house and paint.  They brought the girls down and helped us get settled.  We appreciated all the help.  Within a week we only had a few boxes left to unpack in the basement and then the garage - not to bad!  We have been busy getting settled into our new house and making it a home.   I will go back and try to blog the last few months!  Here we go!
