new fave...

Blog!!! My bishops wife told me about Knock Off Wood. Bestest ever! It's on my blog list...check it out. It definitely makes attempting your own furniture building less intimidating.

Moving again...

We found out we are able to get into on campus family housing as of April 16th, so we will be moving...again. It'll be a good move for us, as the new place includes all utilities and is $150 less monthly. So we are estimating a savings of about $400 per month! But we will have less storage space, less space overall and one less room. Sacrifice brings blessings, right!?

The weather outside is frightful...

The snow is SOOOO delightful. We were able to take the kids to BYUI today and go sledding. Ava had a blast. Teegan was tired, so, he just sat in a daze as the snow blew into his little cold face! Unfortunately, we forgot our camera. But not to worry....it's still snowing, so there will be more photo ops.

Snowing!!!

We came out of the local library this evening and it was snowing! As in, our car was COVERED within 20 minutes. Holy smokes! Well, this certainly isn't California! We do like it though. It's nice in it's own way.

FRUSTRATED!!!

I am looking for housing in Rexburg and getting SO FRUSTRATED!!! People aren't even responding to my emails when I say that I'm in California and relocating. When I leave out that little detail, they reply....the same listings! Argh! Any suggestions?

Big Things!!!

We have so much going on right now! And we are dang excited about it! Firstly, as you all know, we are moving to Idaho via Utah. We still don't know where we are going to live or if we're going to work or not while Ryan attends BYU-I, but we're excited to get going with life. Secondly, I am getting ready to launch an online business making and selling cloth diapers and wool covers. I am SUUUUUPER excited about this! I am very passionate about cloth diapering and the pants, shorts and soakers are A-freakin'-mazing! (if I do say so myself.) Just wanted to share the fun stuff and keep people in the loop! Oh yeah....my website is ekologybaby.com...check it out!

What an Idiot!

Me...seriously! I have been referring to my kids on facebook as A & T...as in T &A. Hello...what parent does that?! Why in the world didn't we catch that one when we were worried about possible nicknames and possibilities for being teased?! Steven Freebairn pointed this one out to Ryan at church this morning. So nice...the bishops son has to point this out to us!

INSOMNIA SUCKS

I am so frustrated! I can't sleep! So, I might as well be a blogger, right?! Anyway...as of today, my family is completely outfit for the snow! Boots, jackets, pants...check! Snowsuits for the kiddies...check! A way for all of us to move that we can afford....hmmmm. I'll have to work on that one. Anyway...Just had some time to kill...night all.

Moving on the mind

So, we basically are gearing up for moving to Idaho in November. I am SUPER nervous. I've never lived anywhere but Sonoma County and now I'm moving in the middle of winter to Idaho. I'm not quite sure what I've signed up for. Anyway, Ava is excited to be able to go to school, so is Ryan. Teegan and I will just freeze our fannies off! Anyway, We are in the process of taking pictures of everything and posting them to our blog. I had to buy an external hard drive because we had 32 mb available on the laptop...I couldn't even transfer the pictures I had taken of things to sell! Anyway...dejunking is good for us, but I am having VERY mixed emotions. Happy, sad, excited, nervous...you get the idea. Anyway...that's just what's been on my mind!

Idaho or Bust

For those of you who don't know yet, Ryan has been accepted at BYU-Idaho for the Winter/Spring track. We start school in the beginning of January and will be in school in Idaho through July. At this point we are planning on moving out at Thanksgiving because we are going to be in Utah anyway for Sprout's blessing. (BTW, R&J, I think Oscar might be ok...oldish sounding, not ending in an an, in, or en, or on for that matter, and doesn't sound weird with Mann....in my opinion...) Anyway, so if any of you know of a place to live in the metropolis of Rexburg, please pass along the info. Also, if you know of anyone out in Santa Rosa that is looking for a month to month rental, or a room on a month to month basis, we will be renting out our house when we leave. We also have a new blog called Idaho or Bust that we will be posting our stuff that we are selling, so check it out, have friends check it out and whatnot...thanks all!
