Last of 2011

Our lives have been a whirl wind!?  And we are still trying to sort things out.

Back in October we got back some test results stating that Symi was allergic to some mold in our apartment.  We presented it to our landlord who unkindly then gave us to the end of the month to move out.  

We had 6 days.  

To find a place. 
Pack. 
Leave.


I had 3 very sick kids at the time.  Ben had pneumonia.  Symi had the croup.  Jayden had bronchitis.  Dane was going to school full-time and working full-time.  We put our lives on hold and were trying as quickly as we could to leave. It was rough to say the least!  Thank you to Dane's Mom to put her life on hold to come down and help us pack up quickly!

We found a temporary arrangement in a neighbors basement.  They were so kind to offer and house us while we waited for our housing to open up.  

Shortly before Thanksgiving we were given the most wonderful news!  We could move in tomorrow!  We quickly packed up again, and moved. Again.  

We were in our new place only for a few days.  Just enough time to do some laundry, pack (again), and travel to Nevada to visit my parents. It was so wonderful to finally be all together on my side of the family!  We haven't had that for years!!  The break was just what we needed after all we were going through.


We have now enrolled Ben into a new school.  Transferred information to our new place.  S-L-O-W-L-Y unpacked. (still unpacking) Repacked to visit Cheyanne and Mitch because they had an early delivery of their baby girl. Came home.  Dane finished his finals!  
Celebrated Christmas and wanted to THANK YOU to our special secret Santa.  

Were extremely surprised by ifrogz. (to come later)  

Celebrated New Years early with sick kids and an all nighter with the toilet, bowls, and lots of laundry later.  


We are now looking forward to 2012.  We love where we have been.  The people we have met.  And look forward to what is to come.  

Come what may and love it!  :)
