2016 Indiana Move:2 Month Update

Hello friends! I hope you are having an amazing Fathers Day. Scott and Zane have been on the golf course which is giving me a little extra time. I feel like I have so much to catch up on. In case you haven't seen it yet, here is a 2 month Indiana update. I had so many worries and concerns moving back home, so I thought some real life updates would be kinda nice to do. Hope you enjoy.

Life has been going better than even I expected. The weather has been so pretty and it's been nice getting out more. We still want to get out and have a little more summer fun but school starts soon actually and there is so much already going on. I stay busier but I am not complaining. I love having all the kids with us. Each of them has something going on right now and it feels good to be here to experience it with ALL of them. We have some amazing kids and I am so proud of them all....they are the reason we are here and for that alone I am so very grateful.xx

New House Tour | Indiana | → Video!

Hello friends! How is your Thursday going!? Mine has been so productive. :) So as you can see, I am finally sharing our new house tour. I debated on doing this for a long time. Should I share our home. Should I share the outside? Well after really thinking about it, I decided on just going ahead and showing you our home. I am not sharing our address or even the city. Here's a peek inside.......hope you enjoy! 

Scott found this home when he was up here before we were. I wasn't really sure about the house, the location and the neighborhood. However, God blessed me...us. Because after living here for a few weeks now, I really love the house, the area and yes....even the neighborhood. This little friendly neighborhood is in the middle of nowhere really and I actually feel secure here. My attitude over this house and area has truly improved. I had to really think about what mattered to me. I probably could live in a box under the bridge and be happy knowing I am in the same area as my children. It's been a long time coming and I don't hate Indiana any longer. I might be a little bitchy in the heart of winter but I am really working hard to focus on what's good. And being with my kids is soooooo good. I don't think I will ever move away again. Nope. Thats over. This is home now and I say that with an actual smile on my face. 

Thanks so much for stopping by. Hopefully I will be back tomorrow with a new haul. Let me know if you have any questions or comments! xx

DITL Vlog: Moving Days + Food Haul | Video |

Hello friends! It feels like forever since I have been on here chatting with you guys. We have been so busy with the move. I am so thankful that we are finally in the house and things are beginning to seem normal again. I didn't vlog a ton while everything has been hetic, stressful and busy. Hopefully that will change soon. I did pull out the camera a few times to catch little moments in time. Hope you enjoy!

Apparently in my busy state I never posted my last video which was a quick food haul a week or so before we moved. Here it is in case you missed it. 

I actually should have another food haul for you guys tomorrow. My family has been going crazy trying to get me to the store. But we have made it and I finally have the kitchen together so it's time! 

There has been so much that has been going on from things with the kids, to all the unpacking and setting up house again. I plan on doing some kind of catching up vlog in the coming days...stay tuned and don't forget about the giveaway going on right now as well! I'll see ya tomorrow with a new haul! ♥

Catching Up: DITL Vlog: Moving Right Along with Scott & a New Food Haul!

Hello everyone! Can you believe its Friday!? I guess I have really been neglecting this little blog of mine and for that I am sorry. I actually love it here. I just need to love it enough to get back to get back on schedule. Everything has been a little off since we announced that we are moving. I have been busy packing up our house while Scott is busy learning a new business. Plus there are things going on with ALL the kids right now keeping us pretty busy! I did vlog throughout the week. I share what's been going on around here....however you might want to get a coffee or tea, it's a long one! Hope you enjoy. 

This past Monday I had some shopping I needed to do. We cleaned out the freezers on Sunday. I just didn't have a ton of meat or anything. I also made a more kid friendly menu with the boys on Sunday night to get ready for the shopping. Here's what we are having and what I got.

I normally don't post videos together but I want to try to get caught up with the vidoes and blog. I am slowly starting to film again and I hope to have more videos up in the coming days and weeks. I also hope to have a new edition of Friday letters up this evening. :) Happy Friday friends! xx

We're Moving! :) | How - When - and Where | All the Details! VIDEO

Hey everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday evening. Scott is sound asleep and they boys are playing a game upstairs so I have a few minutes to chat with you! So recently I shared an instagram photos of some packed up boxes. I was kinda letting the cat out of the bag about something BIG...HUGE..happening in our lives. For a few months now Scott has been talking with a company in the area we want to move about future employment. It's actually been kinda a long process. There has been a ton of conference and video calls. When we went up for Brittany's Cheer Competition he actually spent a day working for them and doing even more talking and negotiating. While I visited with family and friends he was working on a bigger plan of getting us moved home. And he is excited to try something that will hopefully have less hours and at least the same pay. They talked dates and figured out the right time for him to come up there and get started. We talked forever about it. I kinda went back and forth. I am much more hesitant than my husband but I want him to try if that's what he really wants to do. We thought about it. I prayed about it and I think it's going to to work out great. Here's a little more about what's going on...hope you enjoy the video. 

Many have wondered why we are renting...its simply because I haven't figured out where I want to be for a long while. It seems like too big of a commitment to me. But maybe in time. We are planning to rent again for a while and that will be just fine with me. None of this has really happened fast. Its been in the works for a while but Scott had to figure things out and then figure out when to tell his boss here. That job is done and I was finally able to tell you guys about it! :) It is happening a little sooner than I expected but that's ok too. The sooner we get up there, set up house and schedules...the better. I am going to work at packing this house up the best way I can while he works and house hunts. Sounds like a good plan to me! Thanks so much for stopping by. I am not doing a week in review blog post tomorrow but I will be back with another video really soon. xx
