Together Again

As it turns out...

Moving to OH is not in our future for our family at this time. Husband is driving home as I type this. Job was not what was introduced or explained to husband and after talking to his old workplace whom will happily take him back, we are staying in FL and will make the most of it!

It's all in God's hands.

Going Backwards.....

Big exciting news!

If you have been reading my blog for some time now than you know how we felt about leaving OH about 5 years ago...our house, family and friends....due to the economy, job loss and many of you were going through your own situations that made you stronger in the end.

Almost 5 years later and we have the chance to go back!

My Husband has received a wonderful job offer that we will be accepting and moving back to cooler temps, changing seasons and white Christmases!

We should be settled into our new house by Thanksgiving!

We are beyond excited for another chapter in our lives to begin!

If any of you are near the Central OH area Please share your fav. Country decorating store with me, I have a house to re-decorate!

Welcome Home

Welcome home..

This Summer 2014 we signed a lease on a great house. Even though it's a Rental it's in fantastic shape plus it's in a great little neighborhood that is within walking distance to a lake/park.

We are fully moved in and have been here for about 3 weeks. So far all 3 kids have made friends and most nights can be found riding bikes and playing legos outside in the driveways until the streetlights come on.

It's been so nice being able to tell the kids to go play and have fun but to come inside when the Streetlights come on in the evenings, We've never done that before.

Yesterday I was busy getting the 2 younger kids enrolled in their new School and Crystal is getting ready to start her Virtual schooling on-line. School starts in another 2 weeks and I will be getting those school supplies bought.

I hope to have a few rooms and vignettes to share with you very soon. 

Enjoy your Week!

New Zip Code- We've Moved

We've moved!

We are unpacking boxes and setting up a new house that we are Leasing.

After 2 years in an exceptionally small house, It was time to move forward.

I'm very excited to show you our new space and all the decorating options that I now have.

It's been a very long 2 weeks of packing up the old house and car-loads back and forth from old house to new house. We are in the home stretch though with minimal cleaning at the old house.

For now I will be putting up my feet and enjoying the rest of my Sunday.

Stitching With Love

It's not a very good pic, taken with my Iphone but it feels so good to be stitching again after taking the year off.

This took me all day while breaks were taken with the kids, tonight we will resume packing..We have found a small house for rent that gives us more of the Country feel that we have been missing.

More updates to come!

Country Mouse and City Mouse~ Part 2

Hello!! It feels like a lifetime ago since I sat down to post. How is everyone doing? We are finally settling in here. 

After thinking we were going to move to Washington D.C. for a new job Richard received a call from Nemours Children's Hospital here in Orlando FL. They are opening up a brand new Hospital and saw Richards resume online and called him to come for an interview, he informed them that he had already accepted a position but was open for talking so he went and was hired within the week.

So we had to find a house in Orlando and move with less than 2 weeks...We did it!! We still need to go back and clean up our farmhouse and rent a U-Haul for some leftovers in about 2 months. My Mom has moved in with us and she still has to finish moving too but really we are having fun setting up house.

This is NOT our house but very close to it, I'm charging my camera now for pics later. It's in a lovely gated community with private boat dock and a Elementary School within walking distance. There are so many kids playing outside in the evening and my kiddos love it. It's a huge change from our 6 acres and no noise but we hope that this will start to feel like home very soon.

Before we left OH we donated HOSS our Horse to a rescue that gives the horses a Forever home. We brought our dogs Coffee and Sniffer and they traveled pretty well in the car and slept in the hotel okay, we could tell Sniffer was very scared but Coffee went along and after getting comfy, she snored!

Richard starts his job tomorrow and we are wishing him the very best and I'm hoping to have most of the house unpacked and done when he gets home. I hate the feeling of not being able to find my stuff around me...hahah..Later this week I need to get all 3 enrolled into the school here.

I do need to revamp my decorations as all of my farmhouse decorations simply looks odd in this FL style house. If you have any ideas Please share!!

Country Mouse and City Mouse~ Moving Announcement

That's how we feel right now, I waited till we were truly positive that this was going to happen and it Really is!!

We are moving to the Washington D.C. area!!!

Richard has received an offer for a big company that we simply can not pass up due to the Awesome Health Insurance, Full time work NOT contract and relocation package, pay aint to shabby either!

We have lived here on our almost 6 acres for about 4 years and even though I do love it, Richards health is not what it used to be and its alot of mowing and fence upkeep and the Winters are so hard.

We have found a great rescue for Hoss and he will be leaving within the next couple of weeks, We hope to find a rental that will allow the 2 dogs, even if we have to pay extra. My Mom wants to move along with us, She really hasn't been doing well either Health wise since my Dad passed away. She will follow about 2 months after we get settled. The kids are getting excited but sad to leave friends and school. The slow going friendly country is all they've known.

We are in for some huge changes and hopefully we will adjust to City living in time...I'm not used to close neighbors but it will be so nice to be close to the grocery store. We will be working with the Realtor to find a nice house around Washington DC and not in the busy part, Richard can ride the metro into work!

I am excited to decorate a new house again and might mix things up in the new house...I've been looking thru tons of magazines for ideas....What kind of decorating do they do up that way? I'm just a bundle of nerves....

Richard will be leaving first and then we will follow in about a month.

Wanna see pics of me packing?  lol
