Thanksgiving eve!

I cant believe its already Thanksgiving!! Now if it were just a few degrees cooler it woud be perfect. I have everything ready to go home tomorrow all thats left to do is packing. Its been a long week and I'm ready to relax a bit. Hannah is super excited she has made everyone a boquet of flowers although the flowers are from my arrangement that Bubba gave me on our anniversary a few weeks back, so needless to say they are all dead.. Its the thought that counts though.. Right! She thinks they are great. Having children is hardest most rewarding job that I have ever had or ever will, I feel so honored that GOD has choosen me to take care, look after and love his children as they are my own.They grow up way to fast so for me every second counts. The trip home tomorrow will be fun , I cant wait to see everyones faces, and eat some good food. Putting Christmas decorations up next week!!  Happy Thanksgiving!

Things are great!

WE are finally settled in!! I have been so busy! But its starting to feel like home at least for now.... We are going home for Thanksgiving on wed. the girls, well hannah at least is excited to see everyone although the only person she has talked about is her friend David? She is so cute, a little mature for her age at times but she is wonderful! Riley has been on the move for awhile now crawling around everywhere and pulling up on anything she can!!  She will be walking very soon... As for Bubba, the poor thing he has been working soo hard the past few week not gettin home until 9 or 10 sometimes. We are enjoying the time away from everything and learning our way around statesboro, its a cute town not too much to do but nice, quite. As for me, I enjoy staying home with my girls, its a full time job though, I would not trade it for the world. I am typing this early before they wake up so I can get it in just like my shower and morning coffee, no time for mommy when they are awake! Its busy busy..haha.. Off to get in some mommy time while I still can.. 

Lots of love and heavy boxes!!

Yesterday was a loooong day!! I will be so glad to have everything finished. Tomorrow is my last day of work!! I'm very excited. I have taken exhaustion to a whole new level, with all the packing Ive been doing along with working and taking care of the girls I need a break! but sadley I will not get a beak until the move is completed those two keep me on my toes! However I did manage to take the night off from packing last night Hannah and I watch Disney Channel Halloween specials and curled up in my bed, she loves sleeping with her momma.

She went to Gatti Town with Pa last night and here she is with her new friend, this thing had to sleep with us last night!!

So I'm not the most crafty person in the word so when it comes to carving pumkins I let Bubba do the dirty work, but since bubba is not here at the moment this was the best I caould come up with...

I mean this is cute right!! Hannah loved it and it was an easy and fun alternitive to carving, hannah helped put it all together, I found this at AC Moore that place is AMAZING!!


There are no words to express how much I love my girls! They make my heart smile just looking at their little faces.  I hope this move will bring us all alot closer than we already are!!

Lots of love and heavy boxes!! MIchelle

Ok someone grab me the tissues!

It has finally hit me today that we are really moving. I guess I haven't given it much thought other than we are just moving to another place in another state. I went to pick up Bubbas last pay check from DHP today that was nice seeing everyone before we leave. Then I started to think about our house we have made into a home and how cozy it is and how much I absolutely adore it, its not the biggest or the nicest house but its mine and I will miss it terribly. I fear the unknown, I fear not knowing anyone and meeting new people but at the same time it seems exciting. I may make the trip to Ga tomorrow with Bubba just to check out where we will be staying and try to get a feel for the area, My eyes are swollen from crying not because I'm sad but my emotions are just getting the best of me. I need Bubba , I miss him during the week not being with me, so do the girls. On the other hand I get to put my 2 wk notice in on Monday which should go over nicely...... 

Tomorrow will be a good day!!

Not only will tomorrow be Friday, but Bubba will be home! This will wrap up his first full week working in GA. So far he says everthing is going great and everyone is very friendy.  I have to say I am getting  excited,scared and nervous more everyday,  I was looking at halloween express today for costume ideas for Hannah and Riley they have good ones, I cant see paying $50 for a costume though, I guesss I'll be winging it this year, Riley can use Hannahs old one, and Hannah, she is hard to buy for, last year she had at least 4 different costumes and didnt get to wear one of them because she was sick. We will see what she picks this year , something CRAZY I'm sure!!  I am planning on making this weekend as eventless as possible :) needing some much need R&R with Bubba before he leaves again on Monday for another week.. As for me I'm working as usual then off to pick up the girls, go home do a little laundry , a little dishes, then off to bed!! Tomorrow will be a good day!! :)

HALLOWEEN at Skin-a-Licious

This lady is awesome!! Check out her Halloween soaps and her other yummy soap creations!!

Just another day...

I woke this morning at 4am. I cant sleep well when my hubby isnt home, however he is doing well in Ga and liking the new job training so far.. Me on the other hand, I'm tired and I have the joy of having to console a crying and very emotional Mother in law, my mother however is cool with the idea of us moving out of  state. We keep telling people and family members we will be back in a year but that may not be the case. My girls one of which is only 6 months and my oldest is 4 yrs are fine with the idea. I will be making the trip to Ga myself in the next few weeks to help hubby find an apartment for us , I just hope we can be settled in before the holidays. I will finally be able to spend those cold days all warm and cozy with my little angels watching all the holiday shows and making cookies and crafts, I have always wanted to scrapbook so that may be my next hobby.. This seams so sureal to me right now like its a dream.. GOD works in mysterious ways and maybe he is finally answeing my prayers for my family and I...       Today at work I feel like slacking but I will try and keep up I only have one more mont here so I might as well give it all I got so whoever fills my place will not be left with a mess...


I took my girls for a walk around our neighborhoold last night and the air was so cool and children in the neighborhood were out playing with their hoodies and caps on I love this time of year!! It made me realize how much I would miss our house and neighborhood that we have known for the last 4 yrs. I hope wherever we end up is just as great a place as where we are now...

Happy Fall!!

Things I'm loving right now!!!

As the seasons change from summer to fall and from fall to winter, there comes different scents with the different seasons. I absolutly love Pumkin spice, apple crisp, french vanilla scented candles this time of year!!

I am also a coffee fanatic!! And dunkin doughnuts has the best French vanilla coffee.
Its something about this time of year when the leaves are starting to fall and the weather starts to cool that makes me feel warm and festive inside!! It reminds me of being a child again..

I also LOVE to wear scents of the season.. My favorite at the moment is anything brown sugar vanilla (of course!!)

And of course warm fuzzy blankets, hot cocoa, and my darling little angels curled up with me on the couch..

Dont forget about you lips his season!! They need love too!! The brand Chapstick is what I like to use in any flavor, it is so moistureizing! Nivea has a good one also..

Having a BAD DAY???

This is one of my favorite youtubers, her name is kandee Johnson...

Keep it Fierce!!

Everything we do in life should be done with fierceness. Love fiercely, serve fiercely, fight fiercely...pick your verb and do it fiercely! It brings passion into everything, and that's the only way to live.

Geting ready for the big move!!!

One month to go!! I'm so excited, scared, nervous... Moving away from home, friends and family its going to be hard at first but I'm sure we will be ok. I'm worried about my oldest daughter the most. For the last 4 years of her life all she has known is being with her grandma everyday while I was at work, its going to be a shock for her, but it will give she and I the time we need to become closer. She will also be starting school next year. Uprooting my family and moving away from the only place we have ever known is scary. My husband accepted a job offer out of state which promises great oppurtunity for our family and I will get to stay at home with my girls (finally) . My girls mean the world to me..  So with all this comes a lot of work to be done before the BIG day.. I still have to tell my boss that I quit!! That is going to the best feeling ever!! Then comes the packing! (uggh) I wanted to start this blog for a few reasons..


1. I will be needing something to do with all my newly found freedom
2. I've always wanted to blog but never had anything to talk about.
 
While my husband is staying in Ga working (this is where we will be moving to) the girls and I are on our own for a month, so getting the bills paid while I'm still here is on the agenda for the day today...


More blogs to come in the following days on packing moving and settleing into the new place...
