Moving!
Raise your hand if you cannot STAND moving!
My house is a total mess - I am trying to sort thru what we need vs yard sale stuff vs what to just throw away. I know I could donate instead of throw away but after it was a yard sale or hand me down item to begin with, which most of our things are, and its been used by 7 kids its trashed anyway.
(every room in my house)
Told the landlord we are moving and she wants to start showing asap....um hello - totally messed up house - 7 little kids- ......give me a few days!!
I have had a couple people offer to help but with me sorting out for a yard sale and the idea of not knowing whats packed where would make me go a little mad.
I cannot WAIT to be done and start on all the projects at the new house!

Ok - cant stand it.... More Pics!!!
I know some of you will think that I am crazy but oh well :)- As soon as I saw this house I knew it was perfect for us. I stayed closed mouth about it to family and friends for a while because one it was 60 miles from where we are now, didnt know if they would go down on price, and our taste isnt like anyone elses.
To tell the truth I totally had my hopes up.....its all I can think about! I tried to act like I didnt care one way or the other but John saw right thru it. We have looked at so many the last few years with no luck.
So heres the house....
Living room #1
Living room #1 view to kitchen
Kitchen view from dinning room
Dining room looking to kitchen and living room #1

Nevermind!! Found it!

Great News!!
So we have been looking for a house for a long time - We rent here and it has been great but 1.) we are just throwing our money away, 2.) we live on a VERY busy highway and have lost pets :( The kids cannot just go play in the yard 3.) we cannot do anything here to improve the place. 4.) we live on everyones way to town and people just stop in ALL THE time. I can go on and on.
Well - I finally got fed up and stopped looking a few weeks ago. We have a limited budget (one income, 7 kids) I would rather move closer to the church we want to go to. The only problem is Johns job. He works for the highway department and his highway barn is only 5.5 miles from our house. If we moved to the area where we have been looking he would have to drive 120 miles a day for a while....Like up to 2 to 5 years! Well we found out for the head of human resources that they are opening up transfers again starting in January thru March 2013!! That means only 5 - 7 months of driving!! We can handle the extra gas that long!!*****Update**** Just found out that it may only be about 6 weeks or so!
Now we just need to find a little running car.....
Oh and did I mention we found the house, just by chance.....Its AWESOME! Pictures coming soon but heres a few of the out buildings....
Laundry room....
