MOVING

I have been soooooo busy the last few days. Mike told me Thursday that we got the single wide! So ever since then I have been packing and trying to take care of everything I needed to on this end of things. I am picking up the uhaul today and we will get to start putting things in it. I still am not quite sure if we are leaving tomorrow morning or Thursday morning but we will see what dad wants to do. Either today or tomorrow M will be able to get the keys to the place. In the midst of all this my in laws are prepareing to go to the Oregon state fair and putting up peaches. On Sunday we did my box and were able to get 21 pints out it. I was a little ambitious and made peach cobbler this morning. My mom has a great recipe for it and I had about 5 peaches left over that I wanted to eat but now I just want to use them up.



With all this activity V knows something is going on, he just isn't sure what it is.



As a side note we get to take the animals with us. This trip is going to be very interesting. An old dog spread out on the back seat of my car and a cat in a carrier. Plus a 0ne year old in the middle of me and my dad. We have to get at least one hotel room that will allow me to bring the animals inside. Which I think I need to look into. I am nervous about the actual traveling to move. But I am excited to be back with M.



On a sad note I don't really want to leave all my family in Fallon. Plus there is so much here that I am familiar with. I grew up here when I go to church I get things like I know your mom and dad, or I remember when you were little. I wont get that in North Dakota. But I am excited for it at the same time. I am looking forward to the new experience it will bring.

Going on a ride.

I think I have been a touch lazy. Things are happening everyday and I haven't posted anything in a while. I guess I have been stressing over the whole situation my family is in. V and I have been busy with life: shopping, running around, going to appointments, wedding receptions, and church. His two cousins are a day apart and thier birthdays were last week. We didn't go to them because one was kind of later in the evening and the other was three hours away. No thank you. So we had a restful sunday instead. Well execpt for the part were I bawled during sacrament meeting because it hit me like a ton of bricks. M and my's anniversary is this up comming Monday. SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!! And we wont get to spend it together. What a crummy week. Other than that I've been trying to stay busy. I am working on M's horse Speedy. She is almost 4 and has never been ridden. So that keeps me busy.

As for the whole moving situation. M is supposed to go look at places today. I am praying that he finds what we are looking for. We almost have the money we need to get up there. The only hold back is that he is still staying with his friend and sleeping on the couch. It has started to affect both of us being appart this long. I am irritable and cranky and unfortunately I take it out on him. In turn he is on the defensive in case I lash out at him. We seriously need to be together it is wearing on our marriage. I don't like it.

V is getting closer to walking. I can stand unsupported when he wants to. And he can almost go from sitting to standing without much need to pull on something.

Tuesday we got stuck out in a rain storm and V thought it was great. He also liked when the big draft horse morgan took us for a ride. I was holding on to his lead rope and he thought he would go check out the mare horse. Because he is about two feet taller than me and weighs about a ton more than me he jerked us along. I couldn't stop him. But V was laughing. So that was good that he didn't get hurt.

I am trying to teach V to say hello and he almost has it when he decides to copy me. Also he says gross when I tell him that the bird tray he is sitting in is gross. OH how smart little children are.
