Comfort...please come back!!! =)

Our house has been absolutely crazy these days, but I think we are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.  I don't think I've been this overwhelmed in a long time and I'm so looking forward to getting things back to normal.  I don't think I was prepared for everything, like I thought I was, and when everything hit...it was like a MAC truck hit us!  Not complaining one bit, believe me, I'm liking where we are in life, but it's just a lot right now!!! The house is coming along...we get our new washer & dryer delivered Friday, I FINALLY found furniture last night that I like, so that will be delivered on Monday, and our fence should be up within the next week or so...then things will start feeling more like home. Might sound weird, but we have yet to get cable connected, not sure how long we'll go without it, but it is kind of nice....The best part, Brenton and I worked hard to save a few extra pennies, knowing we wanted new things to go in this house, so having everything bought and paid for feels pretty darn good, too.  I joke that Brenton's OCD about saving drives me nuts, and truly it does to an extent, but I realize in times like this exactly why he likes to do it.  Can't tell you how many times we heard things like "Lowe's has 12 mths same as cash" or "Andreas has a same as cash option"....as much as it doesn't bother me to use those, my husband hates it!  So, long story short, we worked hard to do what we did!  Now, I just need to wait to get everything in its place.  Anyway, enough about that......the boys, are doing great!  They have adjusted well and love being in Gnaden.  Ethan tells me every day, "Mommy, I love our new house" and that's no joke, every day!  He has more to do and loves having the backyard to go play golf.  It's neat to finally see, what I've always dreamed of seeing!  Colin, loves to run around the house and he loves the porch...the kid loves to be outside and this place provides that for him.  It's nothing spectacular or brand new even, but it is totally us and we have worked really hard to get to this point!!!!  The boys, have totally changed our lives and this move was mainly for them.  I wasn't ready to do it...Brenton was 110%, but I knew in my heart it was time and everything fell right into place, so I got my answer to what I was so afraid of doing pretty quick.  I was comfortable in our life and this, truly has me all out of sorts....so, I'm longing for "comfortable" again and hope it comes soon, too (hahaha)!!!!

love what having a front porch brings 
cousins provide lots of fun...he loves having them close now
our favorite spot to hang out
yea, this happens daily (if I don't shut Ethan's door) LOL
it took a week to purge our crap, but we can park in the garage now
they love their outside play area
didn't take long for this to start happening...
what a monkey
