Where Does The Time Go???

So, I successfully got James on the plane to Alaska on Friday... Yes, I have to say that "I" did... James has a history of bad flying experiences... One time he flew all the way to Chicago to find in his hotel that he had flown the whole way with bullets in his jacket pocket he was wearing.... (yes, it was post 9/11 - nice huh!!!) then a couple times later he was flying back from moving his Brother to Arizona to be detained at the airport because he had a steak knife in his briefcase.... The only thing that saved him was that his Mother was their pleading with them that he was not a terrorist... they kept him for a while and then let him go... But, said that they would put him in their files - what ever that means! So, getting my husband on a flight to Alaska with a firearm, bullets, knives, etc... was very stressful!!! I packed everything personally to make sure everything went where it needed to - It's the getting him home part that might be a little scary! I really don't want to fly to Alaska to bail him out of jail!!!

So, It was our goal to have the whole house packed before he left... and it is! The only thing left is the bare essentials and the things that we really can't pack until right before we leave.

The boys and I are enjoying the week with my Mom (My Dad is with James). We are leaving Wednesday to go to Utah for a little trip - with the move I haven't done any of my kids fall clothes shopping - So, we're going to do some shopping, go to Park City for a day, Go to Hoggle Zoo... Just get out and have a good time together.

I've been getting some furniture shopping done - The boys got cute new bunk beds (McKay is so excited). Baby Boy Turley gets a new crib and dressers. I have to say Pottery Barn rocks!!! So, I'm still on the hunt for a Bedroom set for us... I found one here that I like... But, I want to look around Utah a little bit more - they have a bigger selection of stores... We've decided it's time for a King sized bed... Our kids come and get in bed with us in the morning - It's a circus in a Queen! And with another baby on the way we need to have more room!!!

My Mom is the greatest for many reasons... But, she is coming tonight after the boys go to bed to help me pack my scrapbook room... It's official - When the scrapbook room is packed it's time to move!!!
