Things have been crazy lately, and it feels like it's been forever since I have been able to post! We've moved--or at least have mostly moved. There are still some things at the other place and I have to get it cleaned, but things are definitely happening. The internet finally got hooked up yesterday, after sitting around for hours waiting for the guy to get here, wondering if he was actually coming, having Robert call and discover that they had decided not to send anyone out! Long story short, they were here within an hour of Robert's phone call and the internet is finally up and running.
I have been absolutely exhausted. Tammy came over on Monday to help me unpack my kitchen (which is the only room that is complete, and it's a beautiful thing) and Tuesday to help me paint the boys' rooms (well, prime them anyway, the color will get up before too long). I've been emptying boxes, bringing stuff from the other house, and cleaning from morning until night and hit the bed totally exhausted!
The good news, on the other hand, is that we are now in a house that is about 2 miles away from my school and 3 miles away from Robert's work. It is a 5 bedroom house that has a living room and a family room, with a big back yard for Cooper (it's kind of dead, but it's big!). While it is an older home, and there are several projects we are going to complete (back yard being a big priority), it is nice to be in a place where I have room for everything.
I'll get some pictures posted as soon as I get a chance to take some (probably when things are more like they should be and less boxed up). I'll also get my take on the Police concert posted--I just have to have a minute to breathe and catch up on my Master's class since I haven't had internet for a bit. Dory's line from Finding Nemo has been running consistently through my mind--Just keep swimming, just keep swimming!! I'll get there eventually!

Wow, how exciting, Lisa! You'll have to send me an email with your new address. And once life settles down we definitely need to get together! My girls would LOVE to see your boys. They miss them a lot.
Good luck with everything!
I know I see you all the time and talk to you as well but it's good to have you back in the blog-o-sphere!
Just keep swimming just keep swimming..... are you my conscience?....Yes I am a natural blue...... The sea monkey took my money......... careful with that hammer........ No eating here tonight, you on a diet.... All wise words from Dory. Moving is a HUGE chore. Make sure you take fun breaks to go and fill your mugs! Love and miss you, Stephanie
How wonderful to have a house with so much room! I think we will be here forever; which is probably okay but we get a little crowded at times.
I wondered where you were, going a whole week without blogging! Glad you are back!
What? When you get time I need an email!! Did you buy? Where is it? Will the boys be going to Oak Canyon? How awesome. I need lots of info when you get time. Oh, school starts soon too hun? Let's chat! Love you!
Where did you move? Josh asked today if we could stop by and see your boys. You'll have to let me know!

Well,
As I have been packing like a crazy woman for the last week, I suddenly realized that (because of you) I too was hearing Dory sing "Just keep swimming" in my head. It actually helped me keep my cool a couple of times.
You have been swimming a long time.. I bet your arms are getting tired... I hope there are no sharks around...
Maybe she's wearing floaties! ;)
I hope so, or at least one of those yellow swim suits with the inner-tube (is that how you say that?) attached
... yet with the crypto spuridium.. (again, spelling errors abound), it may serve her well to have a swim diaper on hand... you never know...
cryptosporidium? Quite possible, although do you think a swim diaper would prevent such a parasite? One swimming for over a month should take all precautions, however.
Very, true... if you have been swimming for a month, like our sweet Lisa, all precautions are necessary, however, if there are sharks nearby, a parasite may be helpful in making them sick so they don't attack you... Any thoughts? How will she get out of that horrible situation? I do hope she brought a snack so she isn't hungry...
Since cryptosporidium are very robust organisms, it seems to me a bottle of chlorine might be a good idea. It is possible that the chlorine might alleviate the shark problem as well. Lisa must be hungry by now. Maybe someone will rescue her this weekend!
you guys are so funny :)
