Here's The Scoop

 When last I left you (lol that sounds SO much like a soap opera) we were headed to Sioux Falls to find a house..Boy I wish it were that easy! Nothing ever is lol.At least not for us. So WH and I wasted no time and got to looking for a house. I had sent the realtor a list of about 8. One we deleted because when the realtor called to set up the appointment the owner said our timing was not convenient for her. If we couldnt wait a few extra days for the open house then she really didnt want to show it..Ummmm ok..BITE ME...No problem deleting that house... Between house showings we scoured the city for a hotel to live in until we could close. Hoping and praying the owner of what ever house we found would let us rent.By the end of the first day I had found the PERFECT house..Seriously WH and I walked in the door and both new instantly it was the one..None of the others even came close. Best part is that we do not want to change a THING about it! If you dont know us then you wont ...

The NEW Me!

What do you think? This will be how I look for the next month......We sold our house...We not only sold our house but we sold it too people who paid cash and then said get out! Seriously.......W.H. calls and says are you sitting down? I say great what happened now and do I need to bail someone out of jail? He says we sold our house and have to be moved out on the 28th.......Um WHAT?!?! We have not gotten pre-qualified for another house. We havent even found one actually...We were supposed to have 60 -120 days...Right?....Well evidently not.So Sunday W.H. and I are zooming down to Sioux Falls and in 3 days we are finding a storage unit, getting pre-qualified, AND finding a house...Most likely I will also be finding a rental.I dont think we will be able to make things happen as quickly as we would like. Funny thing about all of this is that every move we have made W.H. has had URGENT business that required him to leave for days on end leaving me in charge...Lol...WELL GUESS WHAT.....

So.........

I may have told you this story before but in case I havent here goes :)......So 5 years ago right after we moved to ND one of my friends here decided I should got to Disney World with her. I was raised around Disney Land and had never went to D.W. before...This was before I started running. While browsing through the shops I fell in love with a purse..It was a Dooney & Bourke with an over all princess design. UM YES PLEASE...... Well I didnt buy it. We had just moved and I was feeling like D.W. was gift enough.Something made me hold back. The next trip back I had saved my money. I was GOING to get my purse..Well guess what not a princess purse to be found. So I just assumed it was a limited edition and it was not to be mine. The next year was when I lost my dad to heart disease. As I sat there in the hospital listening to the doctor tell us dad would still be with us if he had only been active I vowed to become active. I came home and bought my treadmill..I KNOW I have to ...

Big News For Us

Image
As I promised I have BIG news for ya'll. I couldn't announce it before because there was some paperwork still being finalized.  We are MOVING....This is actually bittersweet news. We have wonderful friends here and like Minot. We had initially moved here though to lessen the work load that WH had. Less work load less stress..I also was having a hard time with depression in Alaska and the move helped that considerably...For anyone that has watched the news though on North Dakota you know that the oilfield has taken over. So you know what that means. WH did not actually lessen the workload OR the stress..In fact it has increased to the point that I have been very worried about his health. So a couple of months ago we decided enough. Of course I had my plug in for WARMER weather but he still needs some income lol...So no Florida and Disney World Annual Pass for me! Boo :(.....Its a good thing one of us has a level head.... WH has many irons in the fire and has alw...

So as soon as I can I will let you know....In the meantime a friend sent me this... Oh so very true dont you think? :)..I spent today after running in my quilt studio..Wow I have forgotten how therapeutic that is.I wish that I could get into there more..Its been so cold this year that I havent been able to stay in the basement for very long..The floor is too cold. I am hoping tomorrow after I run to spend a few more hours lost ...
