Settling into our nest

  Well we have nestled in for the time being.  We are in need of buying some paint and new furniture to decorate our nest but we have finally emptied most of the boxes.  It's nice to not have our house decorated with cardboard boxes and clutter.  We are going to take a trip to IKEA on Saturday to look for a few things for the house...gadgets and rugs.  I'm not sure when I will paint.  Probably the following Monday.  

   Abby LOVES her new school.  She has been there for three days so far.  They are a lot more strict then her last school but she seems to be enjoying it.  She has to wear a strict uniform code here and she was nervous about it at first but it has turned out to be really easy for her.  I love it!  It makes getting ready for school so much easier.  No more worrying that if I don't get up with her Larry will let her go off looking like a crazy women.  :o)  He likes to let her be creative.  LOL  I do too but I don't like to look like we have no taste at all.  :P  


   Chloe is not in school yet.  I just got her shot record yesterday and hopefully they take her old birth certificate.  I haven't gotten her new one yet with correct name on it.  I wanted to wait till I knew for sure where we were settled before sending off for it.  She is very excited to go and it looks real fun.

 Larry starts work Monday.  He is pretty excited.  He is missing his old work a lot and I think getting back to something normal again will be good for him.  Leaving the Military life was more then I think we both thought it would be.  To all our Military family and friends...slow down and enjoy the time.  You realy feel lost when you come out.  You have this weird feeling of not belonging.  It's just a strange feeling.  Now we need to find something else to get ourselves involved into.  


  As for me...huummm.  I am going to try to get the house in order and paint and decorate. I would like to investigate my new area and find some activities for the girls.  Like dance, tap, hip hop and maybe piano lessons.  Maybe even a cooking class for me.  I would like to look into joining the YMCA so that the kids and us can go swimming and meet other families.  Maybe get the kids in some sports through there as well.  I also need to find a good church.  I really have been missing church lately.  Computer church is getting old.  Well until next time...have a blessed day.  I feel I really am blessed.
