Change, Hard Work and Blessings

So here it is the blog that tells you where I disappeared to... in more then one way for those in Bullhead we were there one day and gone the next. Then I was off facebook and not returning many calls... I didn't just run off I've been very busy.

As I said in the last post we moved. It was a last minute thing and it was so quick we didn't get to say goodbye to the friends we left behind. We got here and were basically homeless because the place we were moving needed a lot of work before we could move in. Fortunately my sisters family took us in. We spent the first week while Scott was still in Bullhead making preparations and getting ready for Thanksgiving. We had an AMAZING thanksgiving day with so much food and even more family. But when it was all over it was time to get to work...

We had to get my parents basement ready for us to move into. We were trying to turn it into a little apartment for our family but it needed so much work. It needed to be cleaned and repairs made. New paint and carpet came next. It was a ton of work at first I was a little overwhelmed by it all. Fortunately we didn't have to do it alone. My dad and brothers were there everyday and my sister came down to help. It took us another week and half to get things cleaned, painted and carpeted.

After it was all done the difference was incredible! We are just finishing moving everything in but have a lot to be grateful for. It hasn't been easy on the kids they have been in three different homes in a matter of weeks. I think they have finally moved past the "we are ready to go home" stage and are starting to accept that this as our new home.

We have received so much assistance and help we are so thankful for. Family and friends have helped clean and paint. We have had wonderful babysitters. Thanks to donations from my sister and brother in Germany and my uncles family along with some other friends my boys have a completely new warm wardrobe. Including boots, hats, coats, gloves and a yo gabba gabba shirt my Brayden would live and die in if I let him wear it all the time. Its going to take some time to adjust to the cold but we are happy to be here! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND LOVE!
