So much to do....

I love my new house! But as you all know, new house & moving = lots to do. Lots to clean, lots to put away lots to hang up and decorate....just LOTS! Add that to trying to decorate for Christmas. Justus is well aware that it is Christmas time and has more than once asked where our tree and decorations were.....mmmm. Need to get that tree up! Maybe after I get all my clothes put back in the dresser and finish unpacking boxes......

Fiasco = New house = Move!


It was crazy from the get-go. We made an offer on a short sale house back at the beginning of Sept. It was due for auction like 2 weeks later so we felt sure we wouldnt have to wait months like we had heard happens with short-sales. Our reasoning was they would have to make a decision before the auction date, right? Well, auction day came and went and we hadnt heard a thing. We were like, do we find another house? Has it been auctioned? No answers even after multiple phone calls. Finally I called the the city and the automated voice said the auction had been posted-phoned due to mutual agreement. Ok, whatever that meant....we still hadnt heard anything. That was just the beginning....well, without telling the whole story, cause that would take forever, we are now the excited owners of a new house! We are ecstatic!! Moving day is tomorrow!! Yay!!

Cute outfit and Gingerbread House
















These are from when we were in Alabama. This was an outfit we put Haven in for church. I happen to think it is so super cute. This was the first time we have done a Gingerbread house with Justus. He and Neil had a great time engineering it! I love Holiday Traditions!

Alabama
















We had so much fun while in Alabama! It is always great to see my parents. The kids got to experience the great outdoors like not possible in Fresno. They got to go to a Cracker Barrel. Tons of fun and good food! But most importantly, they got to spend time with Grammy and Granddad!

Alabama Starbucks Funny




This is something I thought Id never see - but then, you see it all in Alabama! I hope you can make out the picture. It is a truck hauling a flatbed in the Starbucks drive thru. I was truly aghast!
