Moved into NeBRaSKa


We have been at the house for a month now. It is weird how fast time flies. We have finally gotten carpet & our friend Eric was here for the weekend & helped finish the baseboards so we could put furniture into the final spaces. Now the garage is just full of boxes.... and there seem to be ALOT of them! But it will come together. I just take my time and do one at a time. The problem is that things just get piled up & don't find homes yet. And the man who wanted THIS house finally realizes that it is SMALLER (much) than our great house in Lansing and he wants to have a garage sale! So I put some things away & some into a "decide on pile" and some into a sale pile. It is really tiring.

We celebrated Espen's birthday May 30 with family from Oklahoma & Colorado. It was a nice day to have everyone here! The house was messy because we didn't have carpet yet and there were boxes all over. But people made the best of it! And we had an awesome time! It was great to have my sisters here and Shanna & the kids stayed with my mom for a week! What fun we had!! We took the kids to a water park and they had so much fun! Even espen did! He LOVES the water! The kids all played in the yard in a sprinkler, a baby pool & a slip-n-slide that Sherry & Johnny found. Even Espen played on that!

And this week I am again home alone. It is a weird cycle. Without anyone to watch the dogs, I am here when Espen & I could be galloping all over with a driver! So I will find a friend who would like to dog sit so that I can go along! There is a sweet trip in August to Dallas that we are going on! It was weird being at the house alone for the first time. I was uber alert..... it is weird but we have no fence and without one I feel like a sitting duck on the corner just waiting for someone to walk into the house. And I am so sure that my little 4 foot fence will make me feel all secure. But 2 of the doors are sliding glass doors. So not only am I a sitting duck but the door farthest from the bedroom & nearest the street is a sliding glass door... yea real safe. Who planned this! Hopefully tonight will be better..... I have 2 big barky dogs so surely if someone decides to come in, they will wake up & bark!!

Today was a HARD day. 13 days ago, Espen got his vaccinations for Chicken Pox & MMR.... and today he was feeling poopy.... REALLY POOPY....... so he was clingy and cried ALOT. I think he cried more today than in total in the last week. Poor baby. So tomorrow we are staying home & keeping cool. And we are going to snuggle more than we did today. And I will pray for relief for him tomorrow.

And I am going to bed early..... I need some sleep too.......... and instead of sitting here watching my new TV with a million channels I am going to upload some pictures & go to sleep..... aaaahhhh sleeep....
