I will admit that I have been neglecting my blog recently. It's not purposely or intentional but rather of lack of energy or hours of the day to devote to it. This is a very busy time of year for us, especially with a new move on the horizon. We did not plan on moving this quickly, in fact we thought we'd be here for an extended period of time. I guess that even though we like to plan things accordingly, God has a purpose in every season and this is perhaps the best outcome for many reasons. We found a home very close to where John's job sites are. Right now as it is, he has been driving upwards of an hour to work every day. This was not how it was supposed to be. We moved here with the intention of being closer, not further from the places John would be working but his job apparently had other ideas. It's wonderful that John has been given this opportunity to make a tremendous amount of income in the next 2 years. I love that We're finally able to save money like never before, that part is great. I do miss him being home though and the kids miss him a lot too. The nice thing is, when he is home he is home for a week at a time which allows us to take many mini vacations through out the year and spend many days together doing fun things with the boys. We are planning on going to Disney this year once again so that we can take the boys to parts of the park that we missed last year. This was their request since we ask them what they want to do for their birthdays. They both responded with, "visit Mickey Mouse's home."

I have resorted to packing only the necessities this time and getting rid of anything else I don't want. It's hard enough to move without packing and unpacking things that I don't feel we'll ever have any use for. I'm quite certain that this move will be for at least 2 years, possibly more. I cannot believe we're doing this in the cold again though, that part sucks. We did the move last year in the winter time so hopefully we will be able to plan better for next time. :( Well I'm off here to get some packing done. Since we now have the gas turned on the heat is making it quite comfortable. At least I won't be freezing my butt off while trying to get things done. :)
