Lego obsession

I have nothing to do here until they are done loading and I can start cleaning. In the meantime I thought I'd blog some pictures I haven't had a chance to yet.

To say Chase loves Lego's is almost an understatement. There have been several mornings as I'm helping the kids get ready for school and Chase is sad because he'd rather stay home and play Lego's all day. Now that we are at Derek's parents house he has access to Derek's old Lego's. Not to mention he has a large amount of Lego's himself.

I believe this is all Chase's Lego's sets built. 

I think we will be at this stage for many many more years to come. 

Moving day

The movers are here loading everything onto the truck. Its kinda bitter sweet but to be honest mostly just sweet. After having our family separated the past 3 weeks we are all just ready to be together. I love this house so much but I'm ready to move on. The kids are in Gilbert spending time with both Derek's parents and my parents. Its definitely been hard being away from them. I haven't been away from them this long in a couple years. That's pretty sad because its been less than 2 days.

Changes

I haven't blogged lately not because nothing is happening but because so much has happened.

Derek finally received his transfer details Friday July 27th. It was about freakin' time. It definitely wasn't what we were expecting. Its a short term small job on the westside of Phoenix however only until November-ish. That means we are in limbo because we could be transfered out of state again at that point. Or we could stay in the Phoenix area. We really don't know. Derek will be finished in New Mexico at the end of this month.

We decided to move into Derek's parents house during this time. Partly because school started earlier here and Derek still was needed at his current job in New Mexico. Derek moved the kids and I moved here Saturday August 4th just one week after finding out where we were going. We packed up a U-Haul trailer and brought anything we thought we'd need over the next few months.

Its definitely been a whirlwind of emotions and events. Maeley and Chase started school August 8th. So far so good. I will go into more details in another post. Although its been hard being away from Derek I do feel it was the right decision for the kids.

We sold our house! It took a little over 3 weeks which is great for our area. It will close at the end of the month. The inspection came back perfect. No repairs needed. We were thrilled! I'll go help Derek with the big move at the end of the month. Not that we have to pack but I'll be there while the movers are packing and loading so Derek doesn't have to take days off work. Plus that gives me a chance to get the cleaning done before closing.

Everything is coming together. Its been a very stressful summer. We are so grateful the way things are turning out.
