Falling into place....

Things in our life finally feel like they are beginning to fall into place. We officially sold and closed on our old home...which I feel good about....and have closed on our new house. Jeremy already got all the flooring tore out upstairs, trim and doors off, and the bathroom gutted. So, as soon as we get our updates/fixes complete we will move in. My goal is to be in there by early October. Don't get me wrong, hotel living has gotten a bit better as the boys have adjusted somewhat, but its not home and I don't want to be here any longer than necessary! I can't find my connecter thing to upload pictures since we moved, I probably packed it, so as of right now I can't upload pics. But, I will as soon as I can! Payton's doing well, no big news on him, except he has taken to pushing Parker when he gets mad.....yea...we gotta stop that. Parker on the other hand has gone from my great sleeper to my wakes up and screams bloody murder twice a night. Crazy for a kid that has slept thru the night since like 10 weeks old. I don't know if its the enviroment, that he hears everything in the room, as we are all sleeping in one bedroom, or if its a phase. He doesn't seem sick or in pain, so I don't know....ugh. Makes for a sleepy mommy and daddy. In regareds to school...I will be teaching my first lecture at Mount Mercy University on October 4th and am really excited to begin actually teaching (I am student teaching). Nervous yes, excited yes! Jeremy has been sooo busy with closing up lots of deals lately and then having a Parade home he represents, so thats good, but we miss him home every evening! All in all, everything is good, teh days ahead look great, and thats all for now!

Home.Sick.

Well, we have officially moved out of our house and into the hotel awaiting the closing of our new house. Not ideal, let me tell you. If the stupid mortage company would have just closed on our new house before our old house closed we wouldnt be stuck in a hotel for the next six weeks awaiting the closing and necessary fix ups before we can move in. I am so frustrated. I have been really sad all of a sudden about not being in our house anymore and I think its just because a hotel doesn't feel like home, but I am excited to have our new house and put our personal touches on it all the while not paying out the butt on our mortgage like we were doing! Its just so stressful with two kids, school, work, moving, ughh...I am just stressed. At least our room has a full kitchen, living room and seperate bedroom, but we are still all sharing one room for sleeping which sucks. Our boys are loud sleepers which equals no sleep for mommy! In other news Parker now has 4 teeth in on top (and still only two on bottom), he took one step tonght and stood by himself a few times tonight as well...he is getting so big! Payton is officially 22 months tommorrow and I can't believe he is almost 2 years old! Both boys have had a little cold the last few days but Payton has been down right crabby the last two nights, which a change in enviroment can't help that I'm sure. I just hope we can find a routine and make this our new normal for awhile...I just have to tell myself this is for the best and our current living situation isnt' forever. Don't get me wrong if it was just me and Jeremy, this would be like a fun little vacation, but that is what I am going to tryyy and make it for all four of us. Well, enough whining....better days ahead!
