Ok, so God knew all this was coming, right? God knew this life transition was coming my way and he knew that sometimes I’d feel like crying in the midst of it all. God knew I would need some comic relief now and then. So… He gave me three rambunctious, hilarious, accident prone, beautiful littleContinueContinue reading “MN to NC: Heart Attacks And Lots Of Laughs”

So, as I told you all before, landing a house in this area of the country is a chore. The market is crazy everywhere but it would seem this part of the country is having an influx of new residents and our area here is particularly popular. Anything that comes to market worth having isContinueContinue reading “MN to NC: My Birthday Surprise!”

Have you ever watched a movie where a person is really put through the wringer in some insane ways and eventually they just start laughing hysterically with that crazed look in their eyes? Yeah, that’s totally not been me or anything, I was just curious. I mean, well… maybe it’s been me. See, I wasContinueContinue reading “MN to TN: JUST KIDDING!”

I can look around me and know in a full two seconds that we aren’t in Minnesota anymore. We spent our first five days or so in the mountains with family, then drove five hours over to Myrtle Beach for a short but much needed vacation before the renovating/moving chaos got underway.

So cool!” to “Ummmm, what in the world just happened? That was not in the gameContinueContinue reading “MN to TN: Is This The Right Path?”

So, I ended my last blog saying that although this move is more Derek’s dream than mine, it wasn’t actually him who was anxious, bothered, and losing sleep over pushing it off a year… it was me. Weird, right? Why would someone be anxious over not doing something that they had been resisting for soContinueContinue reading “MN to TN: The Day I Said, “Let’s go.””

I promised in my last blog that I would explain what brought on this crazy life transition… Why would we pick up and move from Minnesota to Tennessee without a particular job or house currently calling us or waiting for us? One might wonder, seeing as we have been well settled in our adorable littleContinueContinue reading “MN to TN: Ok, So Here’s Why…”

I’ve decided to try and break my writers block by journaling a journey upon which we are about to embark. I feel like it could be an interesting story. I mean after all… We are picking up and moving cross country with three boys going on 2, 4, & 6.We are (Lord willing), making thisContinueContinue reading “From Minnesota to Tennessee: The Adventure Begins”
