Moving.......................again

Yes, you read that right. We are moving again. I am never surprised when Cory says he has applied for a job. He looks all the time just to see what's out there, not necessarily because he wants to leave the job he has. Just to make sure he isn't missing out on anything. So when he came and told me had applied for the West Plains job I just shrugged it off. But when he told me he had an interview and was going, I was surprised. He was excited and hopeful. I was a little confused. I thought we were happy in Summersville. He had talked about being there for a while. There had never been any talk about leaving or that he was unhappy. This we had to talk about.

Let me just say, it's truly amazing what a child can do to you. He said that since Morgan came along he wanted to be home more with us and not have all the stress. He realized how precious life was and exactly how precious she was to him. There were a couple more factors in his reasoning but Morgan was the main one. So we are moving to West Plains, MO and Cory is now the assistant basketball coach. He believes his head coaching days are over. I on the other hand am not so sure. I think maybe they are for now, but I think in a couple of years he may try it again. I am happy that he will be home a little more and won't be so stressed.

We hate to leave the basketball boys in Summersville and a couple of our friends. Although we didn't have a good season the boys worked so very hard and had great attitudes the whole time. They have some good seasons ahead of them and we wish them all good luck.

Now to find a house and get moved. I don't have a job in WP yet. I have called all the local schools and nobody has any openings. As of now I will be driving back and forth from Summersville. This is not ideal but I have to have a job. Praying that a teaching job comes up and I won't have to drive. I hate moving!

Few and Far Between

I may be few and far between posts here the next couple of weeks. Since we are in the process of moving our schedule is crazy!! This weekend we are doing a garage sale with some friends of ours who are also moving. Cory's parents are coming for lunch and fishing on Sunday, and Sunday night we have our last small group meeting. (the last one WE will be attending) Sniff, sniff....... Monday Cory and I both have dentist appointment. Cory told me last night his tooth is hurting him. Hoping it's just a cavity or something little and not a huge ordeal. Tuesday we are going to Summersville so Cory can meet with the old coach, meet the boys, have an open gym, and I can interview. Wednesday night some friends of ours are having a going away party for us. Friday and Saturday I am going to a National Scrapbooking Crop. Sunday and Monday Cory and I will be at his mom's house. Tuesday is the last day of school. Friday some more friends of ours are having a going away party. In between all of that we have to pack! Thankfully we have been packing everyday this week after school. A little at a time.

OH and someone dropped off 3 puppies and a momma at our house. Neither of us are too happy because we can't take them with us and we can't find anyone to take them. Hoping we get rid of them soon.

I'm so ready to get to the new house so I can clean, paint, and get my house back in order.

Moving!!

So I told you earlier that I would update you on the whole moving thing. Well...............we are moving! I'm super excited, as is my husband! To make a long story short as to why we are moving, my husband is a basketball coach. Enough said! I will tell you that while we have many enemies and have had some rough times here, we also have some pretty amazing friends, church and memories!! I can't believe I am saying this but I am kind of sad we are leaving. We have lived here for five years. I know this place, where everything is, what's good to eat and what's not. Who people are, lots of friends to hang out with, and we love our church. So I guess the sadness is not only because we are leaving such special friends but also the normal. You see, I thrive on normal and comfortable. So this whole moving to where I don't know anybody, where anything is, will they like me kind of thing freaks me out a little. But then I remember the rough times we had and then I'm super excited to get the heck out of dodge!!

I'm in the process of packing right now. It's slow but there isn't really a rush right now. Just thought I would go ahead and get started. We probably won't move until the 2nd week of June. Oh, and another awesome thing about this job is that the school has a house for us. You see, the school built it and then let administrators live in it. A couple of years of ago he/she didn't want it so they let the coach use it. It's just a small 2 bedroom/1 bath house, but that's all we need right now. And IF we get pregnant soon we will still have a room for the baby. Having a house already is amazing because it takes away the stress of finding one! That is always a pain!! We don't want to buy because a coaches job is never forever but trying to find something to rent that is descent and affordable is very hard to find.

Now that my husband has a job, we can move onto finding me one. There a couple of positions here and there so hopefully I can get one of them. I could be looking at starting my first year as a teacher!

Only 2 weeks of school left and then summer, here we come!! I can't wait!!!

A Little Crazy

Ok, ok so things have been a little crazy around here. I haven't had much time to blog. But here I am with a few minutes to spare.

 First of all, Easter has come and gone. We celebrated with a Easter lunch with Cory's family in Corning. Oh my, it was soooo good! I loved getting to watch the girls dye Easter eggs. Made me miss my Kobi man, who I didn't get to dye Easter eggs with. I think this is the first year we missed it. Oh well, I think it was more for me anyway.

Then it rained for about a week straight. We were out of school for a week, which was nice but we now have to go to school for 3 extra days, tacked onto the extra days for missing because of snow. Only three weeks, we can make it! I hope! Back to our flood, we had roads closed, houses flooded (not mine, thank goodness!) roads washed out, tornado watches and warnings. It was not too fun. But we made it through and survived. Thankfully Doniphan was never hit with any actual tornadoes. For once we are all praying for no more rain. Course in a month or two when we haven't had rain since April, we will be wishing we had some. Funny how that happens.

I took a pregnancy test on Tuesday, negative. Started last night. I did not cry. Very proud of myself. But I was secretly praying that I had just taken the test too early and promised myself that if I had not started by Sunday (Mothers Day) I would take one that morning. Glad I started before then because I probably would have cried. It would have been so neat and special to have gotten a positive pregnancy test on Mothers Day! But it will be special on whatever day it comes. I have told myself that it is in God's hands and when He wants it to happen, He will let it happen. I have prayed to Him to hear my plea and beg of Him to grant me my desire. It is in His hands and that is all I can do right now.

On a positive note. We are MOVING!!! Yes I said MOVING!! We are super excited, you have no idea! More on that later!
