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!

Not Yet...But Soon....

We have been waiting for a house and hopefully we have found one :)
If the deal goes well we will be moving in roughly 2weeks or less.
Packing has been chaotic and kids have been crazy but we will have it figured out soon.
Set backs have been preventing us from moving thus far and hopefully our luck has change :)

My New Little Ones......

My new little bundles will get to come home soon.
They were born around the 19th or so and are being bottle fed and switched off of goat milk so that I can take them soon. Two little sisters out of triplets. :) 
Their mother is Boer x Nubian cross and their father is Boer x Alpine cross.


 You can see the Nubian in the first baby and Alpine in the second baby. Both are adorable. :)


Last house fell through so the move is pushed back but still on the hunt and it will be soon.

House fell through so now back to house hunting....

Sorry it has been a while but between kids school ending on Friday and graduation, packing, and now back to house hunting I have had a hard time getting on to blog.

I will try to keep posting as much as I can to keep it updated.

Yeah!!!! We may have a house.......

I am excited. We may have a house finally. And it may be the one I wanted from the beginning. :)

I do not want to go overboard as it is not ours just yet and until it has our name on it I do not want to jinx it...lol ..... But I will be thrilled if we get it.

It is a stick built not a manufactured home which means I can improve upon it and the value will go up. :)

It has plenty of rooms, space, and roughly 3 1/2 acres for the goats, chickens, dogs, and any other animal we want to have on it. It is in the country setting but yet only a mile from a small town where my youngest could even ride his bike to school if he wanted. :)

I'm going crazy....lol

Okay so looking for a house is driving me nuts. Trying to pack everything is becoming daunting. I have not seen my hubby in almost a month. Why are we doing this again???? Oh yeah, better pay, better benefits, better life... :)
Just a little bit longer, if I can hang on just a little bit longer before I crack we will see the light at the end of the tunnel. :)

As promised I have a few photos of the equipment that my hubby is running now. Yeah I know...he plays in big Tonka Toys all day...lol

Hubby's First Day on the Job in Colorado....

Went great, but overwhelming. With newer equipment comes quick learning of the controls and new gadgets to learn about quickly and on the spot. :)
It may overwhelm him but it is one of the things he excels at when it comes to equipment. :)
He has not sent me any pics as of yet but here is an older one from here of him tearing down an old Checkers drive-thru.

Were Back.....

Apologies to all as we got back on Friday but I had to recoup from the trip before posting.
The trip went great. Hubby found work and we came back with him already hired in to a place. :)
Now it is hustle time on looking for a place. We tried a little while we were out there but until we knew where he was going to work it was difficult to find the location to search.
Now it is crunch time on getting the house packed and in order as he goes ahead to work and help find a place before the rest of us are hauled out there. Our daughter will be joining us now as well as the two boys and we will be hauling kids, dogs, and 2 goats with us. Daughter graduates this year and will be out in the middle of May. Our youngest wants to transfer before school gets out as Colorado gets out for summer vacation earlier then Cadillac, Michigan. He does not want his summer vacation cut shorter since they will start in the middle of August instead of the beginning of September.

All in all it went well and we will hopefully be in a place out there before the end of May. :)

So excited and exhausted at the same time. :)
Will post when I get back.
Wish me luck. ;)

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. ;)
