Count down begins...

So our goal is to move on or around August first. That means the count down has begun. Only 71 days before we move. So far we have cleared closets and did all the laundry (Thank you Kalaree for the rather large stash of clothes from your room.) We have two GIANT and I mean GIANT boxes in the living room right now of clothes. One is for Goodwill and the other is for the garage sale. Chess if you need clothes still now is the time to let me know exactly what it is you need and in what sizes. The girls are slowly (turtle pace) working on their room. It will get done if I have to do it myself (which I probably will). I plan to go through the kitchen stuff next. Getting rid of a lot of stuff so if you have needs let me know. That will hopefully be on Monday since we will be back from or trip out of town and be able to get something done in one day. I am excite about our trip down there this weekend. It will be nice to finally see the town and see what it has to offer. Lots going on. The girls and I made a list of the places in Spokane that we want to visit prior to our leaving Spokane. So look forward to the future Best of Spokane posts coming in the future. I have so much I want to document, such as the hospital that Kami was born at. The place that we have called home for the last 7 years. The neighborhood park, our favorite restaurants and so on and so on. I know that this move will be great for our family but it sad too to leave behind such a wonderful place. Man I can't believe what an emotional roller coaster this has been. Well time for me to get back to work and get something done before the school year ends, which is going to happen way to fast. All our love.

It really does suck having to leave somewhere that feels like "home"! I'm dreading it in the end too...maybe that's why I'm dragging my feet???!! I'm ready for new adventures in a new place though! I'm sure you guys are too.

I'm a 22 on top. 16 for bottoms... go figure... anyway, I'm glad you are excited about moving, It's going to be weird having you so far away! The camp trip is going to be hard for you isn't it? I wanted to volunteer to take the girls the weekend you move if you want I can come get them so you guys can get loaded, but I know your kids are a lot bigger than mine so they are prolly a little easier.... Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

My wish list

Now this is by no means a buy these exact thing list. I figured I would gives some basic ideas and you can run from there. I am really getting into the shabby chic look for my kitchen. As you noticed in a previous post I have gotten a few things but I have a few more things I would love to have. These are just few. I like the white and the decorative look. I am also into anything that would go with my new Iphone. I really could use a case and I would absolutely love a docking station at home with speakers so I could use it here. Plus, my music was lost in our hard drive crash so an Itunes gift card would be absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! Now I also love my Cricut and I have a ton of cartidges that I would love to have. The ones I am posting here are ones I don't have and ones that I would like to someday own. I am puting them in the order, with the most wanted on top. PLEASE DON"T THINK THIS IS AN HAVE TO GET ME LIST! THIS IS JUST SUGGESTIONS OF THINGS THAT I AM INTO RIGHT N...

LOVE CRAIGSLIST

Since the new house has a room for each of the girls we ran into a slight problem. Basically how do you make two beds into three and one dresser into three. So I jumped on Craigslist this morning and found two twin size mattresses for $10 each and then another person had 2 box springs for $5 for both. I also found two dressers, nice ones at that for $20 and $40. So I furnished two rooms for $85. We already have a twin bed frame. So I figured I will keep my eyes open for another twin bed frame and keep the bunk beds together so that we have a spare bed for visitors. YES, I expect everyone to come stay with us at least once, we are the cool people. Kalaree is going to refinish (paint) one of the dressers and the bed frame that we have now for her beehive project. How cool is that. Not only does she now have a dresser but she also now has her beehive project to do. WOO HOO!!!!! I am really quite proud of myself to get all this stuff for such a great price and now I don't have to worry...

LOVE craigslist.

I was doing my usual cruise through craigslist tonight when I stumbeld upon a find. A family in a neighboring town is moving and needed to get rid of their loveseat. Slightly sunfaded is how they discribed it but it was free. Well to my surprise when I scrolled down to look guess what I found.... Yup the exact match to our living room set. It is sunfaded, it even looks purple in spots. But hey ours is not in the best of shape either so who cares. So now we finally have enough seats in our living room to have everyone sit without someone being on the floor or a kitchen chair.
