Filling the holes

My husband is suppose to start his new job on May 24th. That is in 2 weeks! I am starting to freak a little. I mean I am a happy go lucky gal and depend greatly on my faith and know He will take care of it all. I am only human though and my husband still does not have his orders to exit the Army. So next week we may have the movers here or we may have to pack and U-Haul it ourselves to the west coast. In any case I had to do something today to prepare for the move. So today I removed all the pictures, mirrors and curtains from the walls. I also removed all nails, tacks and hardware and I puddied a BUNCH of wholes. I didn't think I had so many pictures but apparently I do and two hours later the job was done. Now if only the government would work this quickly!

Cleaning out the cupboards

We are moving half way across the country and we can't take all our food. So one challenge is cleaning out the food before we move. Since I am unsure when our actual move out date is I have began buying minimum from the grocery store and began throwing together dinners out of all the randoms in the freezer. The last two nights have been HITS! Tonight I made a casserole. I am not a huge casserole fan but tonight was good! It consisted of chicken, frozen green beans, tater tots, can of corn (drained) and a can of cream of chicken soup, and a half can of milk, salt and pepper to taste. Mix it all together and cook covered 45 minutes at 375 degrees. It was yummy!! Have any of you discovered any yummy wonders while you were cleaning your cupboards?

May: 30 Days of Moving

OK, I apologize I have been lacking in the blogging area. I have discovered I actually am not a very good blogger. I get so busy. I work out of my home, am a wife, a mom, a volunteer and I teach Bible study class, to name a few of my responsibilities. I long for the days when all I can do is stay home and do "nothing." In a few short weeks, give or take a week or two, we will be moving from KS to OR. I am quite excited about this move as we will no longer be an army family. No more year long deployments or last minute month long trainings. We will be a family that eats dinner together every night. I am so thankful God has opened a door where we are able to go back to the Pacific Northwest. I huge blessing for us. Well with a move comes lots of work. We own our home in KS and let me tell you the market in our area is really slow so we decided to rent our home out. The last couple weeks we have painted our daughter's room, it was bubble gum pink. A coat of primer and two coats of white paint later the room is so boring! We touched up my son's room, it will stay the nice blue and tan color as it can be either boy or girl. We have cleaned, organized, mowed, planted grass, polished, and lots of other mundane chores that really you don't want to hear about. This month will be just my thoughts and pretty much whatever I want to blog about our move and adventure to Oregon. I will probably be MIA as we drive half way across the country. I must say I am not looking forward to this part. Our family has driven coast to coast and visited many states in between. Maybe we need to find a route that will take us to Disneyland this time around!
