Changes...

Ok so remember a few post back I was talking about BIG changes...

well..
we are moving...

Yep you heard me right..

We decided living a very secluded hermit like living was just not for us. And Dang it all it was hard keeping up 10 acres w/ as big of house that we had especially me being in nursing school. Nursing school has been tough.

As much as I loved the outside of the house and the land, I didn't like the inside of it. I never did. I bought it so it would be big enough to fit us and other family members. We settled on that house to make everyone happy. And you know what... in the end we were not happy with it. WE loved the schools, the ward, and everything about Enumclaw..just the house was not what we dream we'd would live in long term. Plus it was a FREAKIN money pit. OMG was it ever. SOOO we did the hardest things we could do and decided to move.

This new house is beautiful..no it doesn't have land..and yes it back in a neighborhood but its in a more secluded neighborhood WITHOUT houses in front, back, sideways, vertical, horizontal, upside down like the house in Covington had. lol.. There is a nice path to walk across the street and it very quiet. Although we miss our enumclaw ward family. The ward has been wonderful already. We have 4 families from the ward that lives on our street. Who could have asked for a better situation. :)

Plus Tahoma school district is #2 in the state and top 10 in the nation. You should see the test scores for this school.. Just go to the individual school and you see the school reports.. its amazing how well this district does according to the state standards. I dont know why the difference. hmm Anyways.

I am already seeing a change in our family. EJ and TJ are out playing basketball w/ the kids from neighborhood. AJ, Rae, and CJ have been out riding their bikes and playing with all the other kids. This instead of sitting on there butts playing xbox all day long. :) I am beaming.

AJ went down to half day kindergarten this week and he is loving it. I have been walking up to the bus stop every day to pick him up and then we spend time together just doing things such as shopping, reading books, dancing to music etc. It's nice to have my baby back until september again. I am in heaven. :) So walking back and forth to the bus stop to drop of kids, pick up 2 sets of kids has been great. With that and the path right across the street I have gotten tons of exercise this week. lol...

Another thing is James and I started to train for the Ragnar race. Yesterday we ran 20 min and let me tell you my whole body ached cuz we ran outside lol.. Tonight we are go to the gym to work out. Sign I better take some motrin now lol... anyways..

Another happening... I just found out that the school could not fit me in for clinical in spring quarter so I will be off from school this next quarter. I will be doing clinical this summer..grrrr. As much as I say grrr it is for the best because AJ is not full day school anymore.

BRRRRRRRHHHHHH... Dang I had alot to say.. lol my post sounds like a big run on sentence lol..
