The BIG move.......

Blake and I decided it was time to make our big move to Osawatomie to be closer to our property so we can start the building process. It was past time to move and it is exciting to start the process. We thought it was a perfect time for the kids to make the transition to their new schools. Bailey is at Swenson Early Childhood. They have all pre-schoolers and Kindergarten in one building and then she will join her brother next year at Trojan Elementary. Their first day was a little scary for all of us. Bailey actually did GREAT. Since she did great i did great. I didn't cry at all. We really like her teacher and her new school. As some of you know we had a lot of problems with Bailey's old teacher. :( We were thankful for this wonderful change for our baby girl! She is MUCH happier!!! Brooks on the other hand was fine till he had to go into his class. He broke down therefore i broke down!! I didn't want to leave him! Called later in the day and he was doing great! Fitting right in like i knew he would!! We moved all the big furniture and big items to new house 5 days before Christmas. A BIG Thank you goes out to Grandpa Kently for coming up and helping, TWICE!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! We settled into the new house for our Christmas,trying to make the holidays as normal as possible for the kiddos! Blake and I then took the next week off and of work and finished up packing and moving with a moving truck. We put a lot of it in storage, made many trips to Good Will and rented a dumpster and filled that baby UP!!!! It felt good to go through everything and get rid of so much stuff. Sold and gave away a few things as well. We are happy with our choice to move. The new house is in town on Main St. and so all the parades and activites are right in front of our house! The kids love walking everywhere. We are enjoying trying all the local restaraunts. All very good so far. People are very friendly. Joined the YMCA. Kids have enjoyed having the indoor pool. Blake and I plan on starting to work out more. Well i am... I am going to have to talk Blake into it i think! The man never gains weight!! Grrr!!! :) We are hoping to start on the bridge going across the creek and our driveway. Clearing out trees where our house will sit! We will keep you all updated from here on out of our new adventure!! here is our new address if you don't already have it... 327 Main St. Osawatomie, KS 66064
