It's been forever!

Well, it has been forever since I have written so I'll try to sum up what has happened lately.  First of all I now live in Alabama.  We moved here two weeks ago today.  Mark's company transferred him here so we packed up our lives and moved.  I'll admit it...I'm super scared and lonely right now.  I miss my family and friends extremely bad :(  We have met some very nice people and the church that we are attending is wonderful but I still really miss my church, friends, and especially my family!  I know that it will get better and Alabama will start to feel more and more like home but right now I am a bit homesick.  I miss being able to call my mom, dad, and sister to see if they want to go to lunch.  Living 10+ hours away stinks!

Starr and Allen (my sister and brother-in-law) are actually getting ready to move to Kentucky in about three weeks too!  Allen got a new job there so that's where they are going.  So, instead of being 10+ hours away from me, they will only be about 5 hours away.  I never thought my family would be spread out from each other but here we are!  I'm not sure how Christmas is going to work out but I guess pretty much everything in our lives is going to be different from now on.

I do like my house so far.  It is bigger than the house I had in Ohio and there is a lot more land.  We just put the pool up Saturday and the kids were able to swim in it yesterday (Sunday) so they were pretty happy about that.  Here's a pic of the new house...

Living here is definitely going to take some getting used to but I know I will eventually.  I am still unpacking boxes and I can't wait to finally be done with that!  It seems never ending!  Most of everything is done, or almost done, except for hanging pictures.  I am kind of waiting until my mom can come visit because she is much better at decorating than I am! Lol!

Well, I guess that's enough updating for now.  I will try to be more faithful to writing in this blog from now on :)
