This Is Why I Drink...Or Atleast At Airports

I had a crazy, busy, exhausting week. 

Here's the DL:

On Sunday night I dropped Eric off at the Airport

Monday:

 kept Wyatt and Carson

packed

hosted play group

 flew to Charlotte

 waited in Charlotte (plane was delayed due to maintenance on a prior flight)

Got to Columbus

Tuesday-Wednsday:

checked out our new town

looked at houses

got lost...a LOT

Thursday:

went to the Columbus airport

waited (plane was delayed due to maintenance on a prior flight)

Landed in Charlotte

Hauled ass to my connecting flight (all the way across the airport)

Made it to my gate with 2 minutes left

waited (plane delayed due to maintenance on a prior flight)

waited some more

flight was cancelled

waited on a bus

drank at a bar by myself

rode on a bus back to Florence

Friday:

woke up

ran around town trying to find train birthday party supplies

4 stores...

only Walmart had train whistles- go figure

made cupcake toppers

iced cupcakes

iced smash cake

picked up baloons

made it to the party

 went to Florence After Five

drank

picked Eric up from the airport

Yes, it was a crazy, busy, exhausting week.

Good news though- Eric put an offer on a house and it was accepted!

Woo Hoo!

This is it. Small little farmish house. I think it needs shutters and a window box. Paint in the future. 

What would you change?

 

Hi Ho Hi Ho...

off to Ohio I go!

Well, I'm leaving for New Albany after playgroup. Even thought it's a

 short trip, hopefully we will find a house!

Growing up, I lived in 3 houses on the same street. crazy. I know. 

This move will be completely different. We can't just walk stuff down the street or throw it in the car without packing it. 

Send any packing (and unpacking) tips my way!

Speaking of unpacking, what room is the best room to decorate first?

Bedroom?

Living Room?

Dining Room?

Kitchen?

Of course I will be constantly changing things around but didn't know if a particular room would make it feel more "homey"

Here are a few "new house" inspiration pics:

The Beach and some REALLY BIG News!

Well, it's over. Or at least it will be in the morning. Eric and  I have to go home and everyone else gets to stay and play until Sunday or Monday.

Why are we leaving on a Saturday you ask?

Eric has to clean the boat, pack is clothes, get on a plane 

and fly to New Albany, Ohio. 

Why am I telling you where he is flying? 

(sorry so many questions ;))

Because he is flying to our new town.

NEW ALBANY, OHIO 

Yep, we're moving.

And we're moving SOON.

Like a few weeks soon. 

If you know of anyone are are from the Columbus area, let me know! I would love to meet some Columbus bloggers

I am so glad we were able to spend a week at the beach before we 

move sooo far away from it. 

Here are a few pictures from this week:

(shame on me- I only brought out the camera once)

other pics are from the phone 

Actually, I brought my camera out twice. The girls wanted a lil' photoshoot:)

also, remember the photo special I have going on!

Beachin It

This afternoon I'm leaving for a week at the beach with my family. 10 people. immediate family. please pray for everyone's sanity!

Surprisingly, I think it will be cooler than it is here.

This is all of us MANY years ago:

I'll still be around...just not as much!
