Were HOME!

Ok so we finally moved in. What a long butt week and a half! We finally signed on friday the 9th, Don worked his butt off and we started moving in on Monday the 12th. Well we didnt start loading the uhaul until like 4pm, so by the time we got back to odessa with the truck it was dark and SO cold, it was about 32 degrees. My mom kept the boys all night, thank goodness cause it would of been really hard to unload with them as it is we didn't stop that night until 3am. We woke up and finished it. I think we were both so darn tired that we were not sure what day it was lol. It was just Don and I unloading =() that was so not fun. But we did it, I'm almost done with box's now. The boys started school and had the best day ever, they couldn't wait to go back the next day. Everyone up there is so nice and of course they all know Don from when he went there. The little ones are so happy and never want to go anywhere except our "new home". Joshua started speech last week and Patrick was finally tested for his R's. His other school didn't see a problem, so I'm so happy that his teacher now saw a problem. So he will be going to speech as well. I will post some pictures as soon as the house is ready, right now its a cluster mess, but its getting better. The best part of it all?? Ryan and Amanda and the kids got here last friday night!! Andrew already stayed the night with us and they came over and saw the house, I think I'll kidnap him again tomorrow for a couple days =) The boys dont have school on wed for thanksgiving break, so they dont go back until Monday! Sit down everyone, I am having thanksgiving at my house this year!! Amanda is going to come and stay the night and were going to make dinner together, so it should be fun!! Yesterday was my Riley girls 5th birthday! I cant beleive she is 5! Thank you baby girl for waiting until I got home from my honeymoon to be born lol!! Anyway, thats about it, I will post pics soon, promise!!
