Well I didn't blog last night--I didn't have alot to blog about--I went to dinner with Melissa and we chose to go to Skippers--which I am glad we did, B/C Skippers in Moses lake is closing , so today is their last day, I guess Melissa and I were the only people that liked that place--hmm.. I don't know why it didn't make it.
SO last night Melissa and I tore the wall-paper off of the last wall--- And I finished painting it this morning. Rob has started putting up the trim and molding , so that should be done today ( the downstairs anyway) And he is making a trip to the dump as we speak so we can load up the trailer for another trip to the storage unit. And tonight while Rob is down working at the shop I will take the kids to the laundry mat for some Great Saturday night excitement! Anyone want to join US??I will be happy to get a new washer--it just seems crazy to go buy one now cuz then I would just have to move it--so I will wait until we buy another house and then have one delivered. All of the painting is done except a few touch ups here and there. SO now it is just cleaning everything and getting Rob packed to go. And some bigger jobs that we need to have Rob do on his limited amount of time before he leaves us! He starts his new job on Thursday. We had another realtor come out and look at the house and she appraised it higher than the last guy --so I am happy about that, of course, she saw it when it was halfway done with all of the work--so we are going to make almost double what we paid for it! Yikes! That is so exciting!

June 28th
Well, Today I am at work! I called a real estate agent and she is coming to look at the house tonight or tomorrow. She is a really nice woman and she was our Agent when we were looking--so I wanted to return the favor to her --b/c when we bought our house she didn't make one dime off of us. She already has someone who may be interested in our house b/c they put a bid in on our neighbors house--our neighbors had 5 bids on their house before it sold a few weeks ago. Amazing! We are going to be struggling to get everything done this weekend --But my-co-worker is coming to look at our house on Monday at 6:00 So hopefully it will look OK . I spoke with our financial officer and he doesn't see any problems with us financing a new house --it will just be a matter of us selling ours--so I need to start looking at homes in Spokane so when ours does sell I will be ready to buy one. I can't believe how quickly all of this is happening but I know God is AMAZING and he is looking out for us every step of the way! So other than all the cleaning and last coat of paint I have to do tonight--That is all I have to say for today--Hopefully tomorrow I will have more info.

My Day off! wooohoooo!!
HI ALL,
Well Today I had the day off--and I feel like I am in slow motion...I woke up and Melissa was here so she took Clarissa and I to breakfast. After breakfast we came back did a 2nd coat of paint in boys room and then Melissa went home to work on her house a bit. I decided to watch a bit of TV while waiting for my kids to get home--I fell asleep--so much for getting anything done right? so I woke up just as kids were getting home and I gave Clarissa some lunch. Then Rob decided I needed to go to home depot for some supplies so he can start working when he gets home and the kids have been dying to go to wal-mart since Grandma gave them money over the weekend! So I braved the wild and took them--Oh my--I am sure people thought we were crazy--I had kids everywhere trying to decide what they wanted--so I had to shop around a bit and wait b/c they had a line to have paint mixed--so it took them about 45 minutes to get my gallon of paint ready. Oh well--I went thru the home fashions and started dreaming about what colors I would like in my new house......and the kids decided what kind of decorations they want in their new rooms--the boys all want camouflage and Jeri picked out some really GROOVY patterned flowers--and bright kind of colors--they were really cute and Clarissa picked out the cutesy flowers and light pastel colors that I love! SO anyway--I have an idea of what the kids would like in their rooms when we start all over again.Today I finished painting the boys room and I have 1 coat of trim done--so tomorrow I will finish trim . I will finish taking down wall paper tonight on just one wall--in the family room and start painting , so that will be done tomorrow. Rob has to finish a car--that he is fixing on the side. which I hope will be tonight because pretty soon I will be done with my projects and I have no idea how to do some of his.

June 26
Well today--I am back at work! I like my job however--it is difficult to be here when I keep thinking of the million things I can be doing at home. It is hard when you have such a huge project that needs to be done to leave it and tend to other duties. We have 2 families interested in our house now and I am scared b/c it is not even ready to put on the market yet--and they are really wanting to get in and look and I am afraid if we sell our house that fast that we will be homeless b/c Rob has a 90 day probation period at his new job and the financing company said he will have to wait until that is completed before we can finance anything--or the company he is working for will have to write a letter stating he will be a permanent employee. So Pray for us!! I am afraid of what is going to happen , I know God is making all of this possible, and he is taking care of every detail for us. It is all in his timing!
SO today when I get home--I am going to start painting the boys' room--I am just now getting to that! and then I have to peel wallpaper off of a wall in the family room and paint that wall--I think by tomorrow I will have all painting done--then we just have trim work to paint and cut. We also have to make a trip to storage again tonight and then we will load the trailer for another dump run. So hopefully by this next weekend --our house will actually be ready to show???maybe!!!

Hi
Hi everyone,
Well we are still in Spokane we have had a great time! We came over Friday night and stayed with my Aunt--then we got up Saturday morning went out for breakfast then off to silverwood--we spent the whole day there riding rides,swimming and just having a great time! then after Silverwood, we drove to Bonner's Ferry , Id to see Great Grandma Shirley b/c Saturday was her birthday, so when we got to her house at about tenish--we all lined up and sang " Happy Birthday", She loved it! She is the sweetest person you could ever meet , and I just love going to her house b/c she tells us off all her stories when she was young and when she was raising a family and she is just sharp as a tack and when she was raising a family she certainly had struggles and she made it through happy and strong and just very loving ! I hope that when I am as old as she I will always think of this season of my life the way that she does and also have a strong faith, as she does.
Then Sunday we left Bonner's Ferry and drove back to Spokane,Wa to get to my family picnic just at the right time. I have an aunt here from Minnesota and I have 2 cousins that are due to have babies any day and they are so cute! So I am sure the next time we get together my family will have expanded quite a bit! One of my cousins is also due to be home soon and he will be here for a very short time before he will be stationed in Iraq. So Everyone Please pray for him as he has a new budding family and he is very brave and we love him so much! ( please also pray for my aunt as I am sure it is very unsettling to see your son off to teh war--I can't imagine!) The family picnic was nice and fun and it is nice to see we can all start gathering together through all of our tremendous communication issues and hurt feelings.
We decided after the picnic we would take our kids out for some more fun b/c as a family we have been focusing on getting our house ready to sell--we haven't had an FUN for awhile--so we went to Wonderland. Jeri stayed with Aunt Kristie b/c her favorite show was coming on --and she didn't want to miss it--this is a problem----a TV show comes before fun??? I just let her, it was her choice to miss out. Wonderland was so much fun--we played mini-golf, go-carts and then games--it was much needed fun time! The kids couldn't thank us enough on the way home! I felt sort of bad that we haven't been able to do anything with them--but money is tight and we have so many things going on--I kind of lost sight of it --I guess! So we stayed the night at my Aunt's house again --and now it is Monday and we are going to take Rob to the dentist and do some light shopping and head back home--so we can start working all over again tomorrow!

Thursday
Hi All,
Today I am very tired! I am not sleeping well! I hate this! I have lost Charisma somewhere and I can't find her--someone please help me! hehe
I am usually so exhausted, once I hit the pillow i just fall asleep--but lately I get to my bed and I Ly there waiting for sleep to find me--the only good part about that is that I find more time to pray! Cuz what else am I gonna do while I am lying there?
I just got some more boxes so my packing may actually get done tonight and I have been reading up on hydro seeding this morning--so I can better water my lawn--for the next week or 2! Hopefully we haven't ruined our lawn--we are water a couple of times a day, however--I just want to see some progress! Patience is a virtue--I know, I know! I am just missing that one!
So the plan for tonight is to finish packing sewing room, mow the front lawn, and fix the 2 downstairs windows that our lovely children broke( we usually find out after they broke it and then none knows how it broke--until months later after the parents have calmed down) It seems every summer we have to replace a few windows--and most of the time they are broken from the inside?? wonder why??
and then I have to pack our clothes for the weekend b/c we are going to Silverwood on Saturday--I can't wait to have some fun!

Another day in Ephrata
Well Today We were supposed to hear something but the company told Rob to call back on FRIDAY! Geez---the suspense is killing me! I just want a time line!
Rob is working late the rest of the week--I can't wait until he doesn't have to work until midnight anymore just to make a few bucks! SO I cleaned out our entry way closet and packed everything except a few light jackets that we may need thru the summer. I started going thru the sewing room--for the last 5 months it is has really just been a storage room--shoving things in there here and there--so Melissa and I were a bit overwhelmed but we went thru a few things--and I need to get some boxes b/c I have used all the ones I brought home already--which seemed like alot! after I get the sewing room packed with all of the things i can live without for a while--then I am going to put my scrapping tables in there and my sewing table so that I will have some things to do while I am here by myself with all of our kids. I cant pack up everything! SO I guess I better sign off --so I can get some more cleaning done! I hope everyone has a great night!
