Wedding

So about 1 1/2 months ago I married my best friend. We had a wonderful ceremony surrounded by friends and family, and a reception full of food and good times. I'm so glad its over though and we were able to move on to "real" life.

ENGAGED!

I'm engaged! I just want to shot from the roof top.
We're planning a October 11th wedding this year. (10-11-12)
Nothing fancy, just a justice of the Peace. I think we'll be having a little get together one of the weekends afterwards.
not a lot of details yet, but just lots of happiness for now :)

Oregon

so, I'm all moved up to Washington. I was there a week, and was invited by Don to come down to Oregon where he is visiting his family.
Jason is all set up with his Grandparents while his dad and stepmom are off on training for the military.
I'm here in Oregon, loving it. I'm 8 miles from the beach, the weather has been mostly beautiful. we've had some light rain, but typically blue skies and partly cloudy.

Very cool...

okay, I'm so trying this. I have a friend that tried this, and I would link to her Blog, but its private :) soooo, I'll post this HERE, and try and then let you know how it all works out.

so its a waxing system using ingredients from your home. check it out :)

move coming together easy

well, we are 1 week away from moving now. Jason flies out on Friday morning and Don and I head out driving not long after. We'll arrive in WA on Saturday early evening or so.
My room is all packed, Jason's room is getting there SLOWLY, we have finals week for Jason next week and my last week of term for me too.
Don is going to look over my car this weekend to get it ready for the trip and to hopefully last for awhile.

crazy weeks ahead

packing, school, packing, school, down time, make sure trailer is rented, more packing, family going away party... and just 18 days to get it all done.
Its tough fitting it all in, Jason still wants to hang with friends after school is done, and yet I need him to be here. Its been a fun balancing act while we get things figured out.

its official... Jason and I are heading to Washington state. Jason will be going to live with his Dad and I will be moving in with my Best friend Sandy. I will look for work, and get a few paychecks under my belt before looking for a 2 bedroom place.
I have my room pretty much done, the challenge is getting Jason's room done.
We will send him with a majority of his clothes via the airplane. I'll then bring the rest of his things later. He just needs to decide what is going to dads house, versus what will go into storage until I get a place to call home.

soooo, here's to moving out and, moving forward

BIG changes

Lots of changes coming to our family. J has been wanting to go live up at Dads since last summer. R and I have been talking lots about it, and its been decided that J will go and do just that. He'll fly up at the end of the school year (end of May) this year, and will just stay up there.
I will be moving closer as soon as I can possibly get there. I am trying to figure out how to get up there in August, but its not looking promising. I'm now anticipating it will take a year to get up there.
Yes it will be lots of changes for all of us, but I think this will be a good move for all involved.
will keep you posted.
