I know, I know…. i SWORE i’d be a better blogger, but hey, THIS time i have a legit reason for being MIA… no really!
NO
REALLY
!!!!!!
We kinda found out super suddenly that we’d be packing up our whole East Coast lives and shipping them (minus one puppy) more than 1/2 way across the Country!
SEE
isn’t that legit!??!?!
So life would’t be MINE w/o oodles of drama, right? Well this moving thing definately held true to all that….
We had a motgage guy mishap which left us sorta homeless-ish for over a week, so we spend time between hotels and our realtor’s house! (YES with 3 kiddies in tow!)
Thankfully we have arrived and are settling into our new house…. and dang if they aren’t right about Southern Hospitality, we have yet to meet someone who wasn’t beyond super nice and kind to us! (yes, i’m not SO naive as to think this will always hold true)
SCHOOL
School was the thing i was most worried about…. I cried taking the boys out of their school in MA… I especially cried leaving Just’s teacher… she just knew him so well and how to deal w/ him so perfectly….. I also worried how he’d do transitioning into a new school… new friends and what not… he’s not one for change! Josh on the other hand is so easy going, i knew he’d do great wherever!
1st day of school came last week…Just went off into his class PERFECTLY! YAY! Josh seemed fine as well…. PHEW! Then i get a phone call…. (wait i think i forgot to preface this w/ the fact that our sweet Princess had gotten a stomach bug earlier in the week….) Josh had apparently gotten the same thing and projectile vomited in class! ACK! So I ran over to school and fetched him up! Then i worried about Justin having to come home on the bus for the very first time, all alone! LOOONG story short, he was fine! When he got off the bus I asked how his day was and he said “It was AWESOME!” PHEW!!!!!!! And he’s being doing great since! Thank the sweet Lord I tell ya! (side note: Josh was able to go back yesterday and was so happy to take the bus! 
)
The Princess is fairly bored while her brother’s are at school ALLLLLL day long (they went from 1/2 day school to full day), so I’m trying to find some activities for her as well….AND get out from under all these boxes! WHY do we have so much crap!??!?! ahhahahahha
Okay, okay, long post over………….
OH and if you really go through blog withdrawls, be sure to peek at our Team Blog… my CT girls are WAY better bloggers than i am!
Have a wonderful day!

This is usually one of my most favorite days of the year, although this year is unfortunately tainted by life drama *sigh* but what can ya do!
I woke up to a bday card from DH on my puter… quality sappage and everything! You know the kind that you can’t help but start crying?! Yeah, he def. earned bonus points w/ this card! 
And I got the new Rascall Flatts CD and the new Carrie Underwood, 2 of my absolute favs!!!

He got me the PINK bike I’ve been coveting!!!! PINK, PINK, PINK, could he know me ANY better?!?!?!
Now they are taking me out to brunch, yummo! Then we have a bday party to head to this afternoon for Nick and Grace!

With no access to my design stuff or scrap stuff for the past 3 hours, my mind has begun to wander…..
And you know what popped into this little head? A little CHALLENGE!!!!
My CT and I have been discussing card ideas a lot this week, to give as teacher gifts as well as one’s to send out to friends and family for the Holidays. Then I saw Barb’s Christmas card, that was inspired by a LAYOUT!!! That sparked this little challenge!!!!
*** T H E - C H A L L E N G E: ***
Lift a LAYOUT and turn it into a CARD!!!!!!
It doesn’t have to be YOUR layout, it can be anyone’s (please be sure to link us up to their lo, so we can peek and leave love!)
After you create your card, be sure to pop in here and link us up to both your card AND the inspiring layout!
Then we’ll give out some prizes to our favorites!!!
DEADLINE: (my birthday, December 9th)
Hope you can squeeze in some time to play!!!!
