We have settled in our house in Virginia.  By far the largest we have ever lived in, 1900 square feet!  There is so much to do here, I'm sure we'll be busy for the next few years.

So far, the boys like school.  Chris is in 5th (last year of elementary here) and Josh is in 1st.  Chris joined the band this year...he is playing the trumpet.

If you have facebook, please look for me on there and add me as a friend.  When my blog renewal comes up in March, I will not be renewing it.  I hate to end it after six years, but I no longer enjoy blogging here.  I have recently found out that certain people are reading it, not because they truly care about what goes on in our lives, but because they are looking for lies to spread.  I say lies because when things get back to me that I allegedly write on here, it is never correct.  How very immature.  So anyway, photos and musings are now posted on facebook regularly.

We fortunately did not feel any affects by the current economic situation.  We had three offers on our house within the first two weeks.  The third one, we made a counteroffer which was accepted.  On one hand, I was sad to see it go for two reasons...1)  It was our first home that we purchased.  2)  I really liked the new neighbors, Barb and Richard.  Of course, I was very happy to see it go because of the old neighbor.  Small update there.  We didn't renew the restraining order this year because we were moving out of state.  God willing, that horrible experience is behind us permanently.  There really isn't much else to update about that as I'm not going to list dollar amounts.

This is the "update checklist" as I call it:

1. sell house
2. leave Kentucky
3. visit family in PA
4. move to Williamsburg, VA
5. avoid being killed by the maniac drivers down here
6. be disgusted at every box that has to be unpacked

Ok, seriously.  I will post a real update later!

We finally signed the paperwork yesterday to list the house.  I'm very happy, the asking price is 13k over what we bought it for a little over two years ago!

Josh had tubes put in his ears for the second time this morning.  The surgery went well.  As soon as he woke up, he said he could hear better so I'm very happy!  Maybe it won't sound like I'm constantly yelling at the poor boy whenever I talk to him from now on.  I should have taken him to school right after though.  He's been running around the house like a maniac since we've been home!

Really, there isn't much new here.  The house is coming along, slowly but surely.  Very slowly.  I shudder to think how far behind we'd be if my mom wasn't here helping out.  I'm still stressed.  Ask James, he's caught the brunt of it.  Originally I planned on putting the house on the market today.  Now the goal is June 1.  We are allowed 11,000 pounds when we ship our household goods.  So of course I'm worried we are over that.  We've never been before, but then again we've never owned a house before so just the amount of James' tools has doubled since we've lived here.  So anyway, I'll try to update more often on our progress.
