Packing!

Packing for the move is overwhelming but I keep trying to remind myself how nice it will be once we are finally moved.  Our lease starts next Wednesday, October 15th and we are getting more and more excited about getting into the new house.  Our landlord has given us a lot of room to do things the way we want to.  He tells us that it's going to be our home and make it the way we want :)  He is an older man who is a customer and also goes to church with us.  Hubby is going to rip out the carpet in our bedroom and in the bedroom that Little Man and Baby Man will share and laying laminate flooring.  We are also going to have the main areas and our bedroom painted right before we move in.  Right now those areas are a shade of green that I cannot fathom looking at every day :)  So we will be painting those rooms/areas a tan color.  I am so excited to start over in a place that is ours.  We have been living in the house Hubby owned with his ex wife and it is time for a change.  I am really looking forward to making this new house our home!


This is a busy week.  Best Girl has a cross country meet tomorrow.  Little Man has a field trip tomorrow.  Best Girl also has a football game to dance at on Friday night.  Little Man and Princess have a Bible Quizzing competition on Saturday morning.  Tonight they all have youth and their various clubs at church.  Plus we are packing and trying to get ready for the move.  Baby Man is teething and into EVERYTHING!  I have given birth to six children and never have I had one who is as advanced in development as this little one!

New beginnings!

Welcome to our blog!  We are a family embarking on a brand new adventure.  In a few weeks we are moving to a different home on two acres and are very excited to be able to garden, have chickens and just live a little more self sufficient lifestyle. 




Let me introduce you to our family.


We have been married for four years and are a blended family.  Hubby owns his own auto repair business and I am blessed to be a homemaker and full time wife and mom.  Together we have nine children.




My husband's oldest son is 21 and married to a beautiful girl and they are expecting their first child in January.  We are very excited to meet our first granddaughter.




He also has two daughters who live with their mom.  They are 16 and 13.






My oldest daughter Best Girl is 15.  I also have a son Buckaroo who is 13.  Another son Middle Man who is 11.  My next daughter, Princess, is 9. Little Man is 7.  Finally we were blessed with a child together this past March.  Baby Man is 7 months old now and the sunshine of all our lives.  We currently live in Western Maryland but in the next few weeks are moving about 20 minutes away and will then live in WV.




We are looking forward to sharing our adventures as we begin this new chapter of our lives.
