Welcome and Away We Go!

Welcome to my new blog for our new life in Colorado.

We have begun the process of packing, cleaning, and searching for a home. We plan on being moved when the kids finish school.

My husband has been offered a job with all the trimmings.

I may even be able to find a way of using my Interior Decorating there, as Michigan is so economically challenged at the moment that I can not seem to get even a consulting gig here.

So........here we go!

So excited and exhausted at the same time. :)

Wish me luck. ;)

On a Role....

Sorry I have not posted in a while. I have been on a role going through our stuff and packing. We have pushed back our trip for a week and will be going this weekend instead so that we were able to get more done before the trip just in case they want him to start asap we will be more prepared for it.
Hence the reason why I have been busting through everything as fast as I can. I still can not believe how much stuff we have accumulated over the past ten years, and the dust for that matter... lol

Still tweeking my look....

Bare with me as I am still trying to settle on a look for the blog. :)

An Artist is never happy with having it a set way for very long, always have to change things here and there and they are never finished... lol

Getting Excited........

Trip is in a week. :)
Packing is not close to being done but sooooooo need this trip. Need to get away from this craziness for a while...lol.
I am hoping this trip will re-energize me about the move so I can kick it in to high gear, when we get back so I can get the rest done quickly. :)

Cross fingers for us that it goes well. ;)

When we move I will not know right away when I will be able to get back on, but I will keep posting until the move. :P

But for now your stuck with me...he he he

Pack Rat....

Getting close to trip time and I feel like I have hardly budged on the packing. May have to pull some over-niter's just to get through all of this junk. :P

Can't wait til it is done........my allergies can't wait either......lol

Going Nuts.....

Listings, listings, and more listings.....these real estate listings are driving me nuts.
Trying to find the right one is time consuming. Which means I am not getting much packing done. :P
Hopefully we will find some for a more narrowed list to check out when we visit at the end of the month. :)
Cross your fingers for me. ;)

Moving Whoas.....

You do not realize how much stuff you have until you have to move and go through it all. Feels like I am going to be going through it all for years ... lol

My chickens will be moving to their new home soon and then I will not have any until the baby goats arrive. The trade off for my two is getting more clear now and I will get whatever Nanny drops (as long as they are alive and good health) and one of her doe babies from her goats. This was fine as it will be easier to transport babies and since Nanny is now hers and I wanted her baby(s) if there was a boy, she had no problem with it since she has her buck and her goats are bigger. She does not really want smaller goats. :)

No matter what they needed a home and I know they went to the right person. She will take great care of my girls. :)

My two girls are gone....

They came to pick them up today around 12:30pm. It did not take more then 10 minutes after they left before I was fighting back the tears. It has been off and on since. But I know I did the right thing. I am doing a trade with this lady my two for two of her babies who are bottle fed. The babies will be easier to transport then the to adults, one of which is still pregnant and would be kidding around or just before the move and I do not want them getting hurt. Michigan to Colorado is a fairly long haul and there will not be much room between the kids, our stuff, and the dogs. But babies I can have ride in the cab with me as they will be little.

Just have to get through the initial detachment, they were my babies. :(

But like I said, I know I did the right thing. :)
I did what was best for them, not what was best for me. :)
But I will miss them.

Goats May Have a Home.....

Yeah....my goats might have a new home to go to and soon. :)
Nanny has not had her baby(s) yet, she may not for another week or two even as she is not filling with milk yet.
I am so happy. I was worried that we may not find them one.
I was not asking for much to help them find one, and I only asked so that the money could go toward getting one after the move.
I am not concerned with the money though, as I would give them away if I trusted the person that they went to. This is my biggest concern, to know they were going to be well cared for.


We shall see...cross your fingers. :)
