Moving with a baby strapped to you is tough.

October 3, 2010

but we did it!! We officially flipped our house and sold it for a profit…and were able to pay off a bunch of “bad debt.” SOOO excited about that. Feeling really blessed right now..and at night ben and i pray for all those trying to sell a house because it is TOUGH. (stressfull…exhausting..you name it. haha.)

It was so funny because we moved out the day we closed…and went straight from loading up the truck to closing…sweaty, completely exhausted and pretty much not great looking haha… but our buyers who we loved showed up all cute and excited. on the way to closing we started laughing because they were in suchhhh a good mood.. and we…were not. haha. we were so tired. We are so happy a cute couple ended up buying the place. yay.

and thank goodness for my baby bjorn! this is the only thing that kept us moving forward packing up with a snuggler like sienna! :) she’s my little koala. (excuse the un-showered tired photo.)

this is how i survived moving day…..
 i hid the rest from the photo so i didn’t look like a piggy. haha.
not a wise tip from the busy budgeting mama….but a yummy one!! :)
i’ll be back into the blogging swing soon..i promise. i miss you blog world! ;)
focusing on my girls right now and getting settled. we are in the transition time before we move into our next place (update: walked away from buying house…decided to rent….first place fell through..searching for plan b…didn’t have a plan b before we had to close and move!) but last night as we slept in a hotel with our two snoring babies ben and i were loving our crazy life. enjoying this adventure….stress and all!
most of the time… hehe. pray we find the perfect place! (maybe not perfect, but perfect for us.) 

things are coming together. trying to trust in God and His plan for us.
soooo thankful for ben’s fabulous brother & sister-in-law who are putting us up this weekend. sophia has been loving playing with her cousins.. at least she has some familiarity during the craziness :)

    I know how you feel now! We moved back in April and oh boy…!! Lucky for us my hubby’s cousins arrived a few days early to “visit” but they ended up “helping” instead!!! :)
