STRESSED OUT!!!!!!

So today we realized that WE CANT GET A TRUCK for this weekend. SUCKS SO BAD! We are going to try and get a trailer now, but who knows. Apparently people like to move March 1.

I have been so stressed out I think because of Work, school, Tyler, driving back and forth, the house, money...the list goes on and on.

I really hope this all pulls together. I will just keep praying and hopefully everything will run smoothly!

WE ARE OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!

SO!! GUESS WHAT!!!??? WE GOT THE APARTMENT AND DUSTIN AND COOKIE ARE MOVING INTO THE ORILLIA APARTMENT!! It is so so exciting! I am so excited for us and that we can move to Barrie and be close to work. I am also so so so so so excited for Dustin and Cookie and that they can finally have their own space and become their own family! So we all move Saturday!! It is going to be a CRAZY day but so exciting. We meet with our new landlord tomorrow to go over the details!

Today I started working full time. I almost forgot what it felt like to work and contribute financially, it feels good. I just hope I can find a full time job. Right now I am working as a supply teacher, this week it is full time, but probably not all the time. So... still looking for a job.

We started packing today. We figured we would pack a room a day for the next 5 days. Today we did the office. Tomorrow I don't think we'll have time to pack cause we will be in Barrie for a while with the Landlord. So Wednesday we'll do the kitchen, Thursday the bathroom, Friday our room...hmmm what about the storage unit and the living room...guess we'll have to pull a late night tomorrow.

so we are going to have some help on Saturday. Ty's dad, 2 brothers, cousin, my dad are going to help. I think I will call the Bishop and missionaries in Barrie tomorrow and ask them to help us too.

We are so excited to move to Barrie!!

Moving

Ok, so we still don't know 100% if we can move in to our new place yet. We have been accepted but our friends Dustin and Cookie who are supposed to be moving into our current place in Orillia still haven't been accepted yet.

Even though we are not 100% sure, I was hoping that anyone reading this, who lives in our area, would be able to help us move since Ty can't really lift anything. It would be great if you could keep Saturday March 1st open to help us, but we will let you know 100% in a few days!

Thanks!!

Decorating Ideas

So, since our new bedroom doesn't have a closet, there is a built in closet organizer thingy. It is not that pretty....so I was hoping all of you reading my blog would have some great ideas to hide it, yet make it look great. The wall is now beige, not blue.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Happy - ness!!!

So, a friend of mine had a really great idea. She divided happiness into four parts and depending on how strong each of these parts are determines your happiness. Her 4 categories were family, friends/social life, love and hobbies. Here is what she said;

The way I see it there are four parts of your heart and when all four parts are full you are truly happy.

The first part is obviously family. Everyone needs a supportive family backing them.

The next part of happiness is your career or school. You should have a job that you love waking up to every day and look forward to. Your job should also challenge you and give you the confidence to keep going on. So if you're in school or not, you should be working towards your career and enjoying it. You should like going to your classes and you should respect your teachers cause they went through the same thing you did.

The third part of happiness is definitely your friends and your social life. Everyone needs at least one friend that they can tell everything too and trust.

I also think that everyone should have their hobbies. Whether it be playing or watching sports or music everyone should have a second love like that.

The final part of happiness is obviously romance, love, that special someone. I say that this is the key part to being happy. I think that no one can truly be happy until that have that someone that makes they happy every time they hear their name. Just the thought of getting to see your person soon should bring butterflies to your stomach.

K well, I guess that makes five, but I think you understand what she means.

That's crazy. I never thought about happiness like that. Its a great way to look at it. Well I think I am about 60% happy according to her study.

I have the love of my live. I couldn't imagine being married to anyone other then my husband. He is just so perfect for me. Of course we fight and bicker, but we learn so much about each other because of it. For only being married for 8 months I think we are doing pretty darn well.

I also have the great family. My family is very supportive. We don't always see eye to eye, but again we heave all learnt from it. My husbands family is also pretty awesome. I have learned a lot from them, and like I tell my mother in law all of the time, if it wasn't for her I probably wouldn't have kept dating Ty when we were in high school.

I have a few great friends but they are either in Thunder Bay :( Married with a baby so we never get to hang out really, or they are totally attached to their bfs. I definitely need to work on the friends thing, the only person I hang out with is the Hubby. He is my best friend but there are only so many things you can talk to the husband about. Sometimes its just nice to have a girlfriend to talk to. So, yes I need to work on that one.

And as far as a hobbies goes, does sitting on the couch count? I honestly do nothing, I think its cause I'm stuck in a crappy city..but hopefully once we move in Barrie I will be able to start going to the gym and doing fun things!! I can't wait to start getting active and having fun and DOING SOMETHING!!

So ya, I would say about 60% happy is where I score. How about you!?

Our New Place

Here are some pics of our potential place. The blue room is now beige like everything else. The only thing we don't like is that the maser bedroom doesnt have a closet but has a built in clothes organizer thingy. So I figure I will just get a really nice heavy drape...maybe brown, and hang it by some wire to cover it up.

I love the lighting. Nice natural light and beautiful spot lights through out. AND EACH LIGHT HAS ITS OWN LIGHT SWITCH!!! Unlike our recent place where you turn on one switch and all the lights come on!

Oh, and what's really cool is that it is on the same street that my grandmother lived on years and years ago. Great memories and right by the beach!

Leave a comment and let me know what you think....oh and if you'd like to help us move March 1st, let us know!

We will know for sure if we get the place by Friday hopefully!

Feel Like a Million Bucks!

So wierd. So I decided to have a hot bath and have some tea and honey and I feel so so much better. Maybe I just needed some quiet time, since the boys have been like little two year olds all weekend. LOL!

Well, feeling much better! Going to go watch a movie now!
