July 2009 We ARE moving

Moved in with mom and dad in Indiana.

Drove to Georgia AGAIN!! this time with my mom and Shrimp. Weatherman flew down a day later. Spent another 3 days looking at houses (I can't remember how many this time) On the 3rd day.....we found it!! Made an offer and.....YEAH!!! We actually have an address!! We finally know what town we will live in!!!

The house had been empty for about a year and everything was overgrown , but the space inside was exactly what we were looking for! (plus there was room in the backyard for a pool) WOOOO HOOOO!! Picked up paperwork to get the kids registered for school which starts on August 3rd!!

So we drove back to Indiana again. My mom played secretary on the way back and made phone calls for the inspection, septic inspection, carpet cleaning and something else I can't remember.

Since the house was empty we were able to get a quick closing date , July 17 with moving van coming on the 2oth.

Mom and I packed up the van AGAIN and drove back to Georgia AGAIN. Weatherman flew to Georgia AGAIN and we drove straight to HomeDepot to buy paint and supplies . Did I mention that EVERY wall in the house was white?

Closed on the house on the 17th. Weatherman flew back to Minnesota. Mom and I stayed and started painting. We painted 12 hours on the 18th and 12 hours on the 19th. Movers came on the 20th. We stayed up til 11:00 unpacking. Flew back to Indiana on the 21st.

The kids and I flew back to Minnesota on the 22 to welcome our good friends back from China. They were finally bringing their little girl home!!!! Love you to pieces Shelton family!!

Flew back to Indiana the same day. Stayed at Mamaws til Weatherman could come down. And then we ALL flew from Indian to Georgia together to see our new home on July 25th!!

I AM EXHAUSTED!!!
