Yes, we're still around

In case any of you are still checking for updates.... I just wanted to note here that we are still around and doing well. Many things have changed in the last 2 months (since I last posted). Carl left Furniture Row December 22nd. Our job hunt has led us in many directions, but we have decided to pursue Banking. Carl begins his new job at Wells Fargo tomorrow in Waterloo, Iowa. I will stay behind with the kids to sell the house. Carl will come home on the weekends. I'll be listing the house by March 1st (that's the goal).

Last week we finished the laundry room and closet for the guest room. After much mudding, sanding, priming and painting- the major projects are complete. Now my goal is to paint the entryway and the guest room. I also need to wash the carpets, curtains and clean. I've been filling boxes whenever I can to reduce the clutter. Carl will be taking the boxes each week to Waterloo to a storage unit. It's been crazy around here for the last week or two.

And besides all the moving struggles, the kids are sick. Billy and Ian have been running fevers and coughing constantly. Carley has had a little cough, but luckily no fever (yet).

Oh, and I'm working at Target temporarily. Not so sure how I will keep it up now, but I'm on the schedule and have a sitter. Hopefully I can make it work until the move. Then, I'm considering transferring to the Waterloo Target. So, there's the update. I'll do my best to write more soon.

Pictures are of:

By the way, Ian almost fits in a diaper box.
