My own house....

To say that the last two weeks has been crazy would be an understatement. I have packed to move, moved out and in to a house in one day, left the next day to go camping in a tent in the rain, come home to more unpacking and now I'm getting ready to pack again and go with Brian to Boise for two months. THe first three weeks we'll be in Wendell for swimming lessons ( they were the cheapest) and to give BRian a feel for the new rotation. Actually seeing Brian might be a whole other adventure during the month of July. He is on call every third day and the call shift is 30 hours followed by a little sleep followed by another day of call and so on and so forth. The last week on July and August are a little better he goes to call every fourth day instead. From what the other 2nd year wives say the first year is the hardest. I've been told to live my own life with my children and if Brian can schedule himself in than thats great but to not expect it. Now that's something to look forward to don't ya think.
I have pictures of our camping adventure but they are on my new cell phone and I don't have the right wires to download them onto the computer yet. It wasn't camping to Zane unless we were in the tent. They had fun playing games the first night and Kate and Ty slept well but Zane was up constantly. Luckly we wern't to close to the other tents. THe next morning they tell us we have the afternoon to do what we want so we made the short trip in to Yellowstone Park. The kids loved the animals but were upset that they couldn't get out to see them closer or to touch them ( tyler wanted to touch them, Zane could care less) after that we went back to camp and ate dinner in the cold bitter rain and quickly loaded the kids in to the car again to go home.
The kids are loving having a backyard to run free in, a luxury they never got in apartments, I love that they go outside and play and now that Kate is in her own room she is sleeping WAY better. Lots of blessings. THe first sunday was stake conference and so we didn't get a chance to meet amyone and since we are going to BOise this weekend we won't meet them for another two months or so.
So I have decided to play things by ear and see how long the kids handle being out of our own home, I might come back sooner. Brian wants me to stay in Boise the whole time but I don't think I can be stuck in an apartment with three kids again after the freedom the house has given me. I"ll post pictures of the house as soon as I have things in order and boxes are gone.

Stress, stress, stress......

This week is the official move for us to Pocatello. THings are stressful with trying to get things packed and ready and Brian has started work this week so its even crazier. The news with the house is still in the air thanks to our less than great banker. I think she put off getting our loan papers put together and now we are trying to get things finalized and she is scrambling to get her job done. the frustrating thing is she has had two months to get things in order and to say the least and most politley, I am not happy with her. I would start over and change banks if it weren;t for the fact that we want to close this week. Very dissappointed with the possible outcome. We want to close on Wed. but we still don't know if they are going to give us the loan.
And to add to the stress Brian and Ty have been sick this week and so I am just waiting for Zane and Kate or myself to get sick right before the move. Not a good week, move on Thursday and have to leave everything on Friday and go camping of all things ( I don't like to camp) for the weekend with Brian's fellow residents. Not excited to take my kids camping, they don't sleep at home and there is no way in *&%#@# they are going to sleep in a tent. Oh well at least we won't be the only ones that pull an all nighter with my kids:)
Sorry to vent but thanks

Great website

Ok so like everyone else I am looking to save a few dollars whenever I can on groceries. I found a website that takes all the work out of shopping for me (which I love because I don't like shopping).
Go to http://www.pinchingyourpennies.com/ this website does all the work for you. All you have to do is put in your zip code, pick the stores you shop at, and wha la...... all of the best deals are in red and they even tell you which coupons, where to find the coupon and how to use the coupon. Like I said it takes all the thinking out out what to buy. Every Wed. is when the stores change their ads and they are usually updated on Wed. if not the day before. I love it because I can then make a menu based on what is on sale. And it works in all the states and on military bases.

Any who...... go check it out, you'll love it.

Oh ya its FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!
