Setteling In

Oh the Joys of a new life!
Gary is working hard to put his 2 homes in order. NOT a small task! He is working hard trying to get his agency to grow. He has come "home" to Vale to see me and the kids every weekend this month, and we work him so hard with home repairs that I think he must be glad to get back to Prairie City and enjoy a little peace and quiet. This weekend he made it so we can use the shower, so we are no longer bumming from family members. Yea Dad!

I got a part time job working for the Vale school district as an LRC aid (helping a special needs kid). It's part time and the same schedule as the kids, so wheew. The kids are excited for school to start. As is Mom now.

We are still working to get settled into the house and get things put away, all who really know me realize the humor in that. Heaven help me! The kids seem to settling down a bit, they have been loving their time with cousins. And mom has enjoyed the breaks.

Well I think I will close for now, since my net time at the library is limited.
Take care and love you all, Colie

I Love Moving (not!)

OK well time for another update!
Today is Friday the 1st of August! TGIF and that July is finally over. What a nutso and nightmarish month. Today is payday and so moving day. We are going to be in the office till closing time then take off for Vale. Thanks to Gary's dad the trailer full of heavy stuff is already down there and all we have to haul is the food and light stuff. It has been a real adventure trying to sort the house into 2. What is Daddy going to need to keep and what are the rest of us going to need? Who gets which CDs, DVDs, Books ect... We still haven't sorting the kitchen, naturally Gary thinks I should just take all cooking stuff with me and he will load up for the next week when is in Vale and make it through the week on leftovers, what a nut.
Alexis is happy to announce that there are only 7 days left till her 10th B-day! (how did I get old enough to have an 11, 10, and 8 year old?) I thought I was still in my 20's ;).
We had to close the office yesterday so that we could stay home and fix a broken pipe in the bathroom. It would be nice if Murphy's law was not so far reaching.
Have a great day! love you all,
Gary, Colie, John, Alexis, Verronica, and Chad
