Homeless

We kind of got ourselves into a mess with this whole moving thing. We told our landlord when Brandon was to start working in Idaho and didn't tell him we'd pay for an extra month. He found someone to rent the apartment so we had to get our stuff moved out on the 1st of May. So we luckily found a moving company that could do it so soon because we got a weeks notice to move out. Brandon's company gave him a moving allowance which was totally awesome so for our 4th time moving I didn't have to pack up all our stuff. I loved just watching. I think our family was greatful for that also since they've helped us load and unload our stuff everytime. Anyway so here's what happened over the last week...

I stayed at my mom's house with Kayli while Brandon went to work in Idaho and stayed in a hotel there. Here's Karin playing with Kayli in the backyard.



Brandon called to talk to us every night while he was away. Kayli loves her daddy and just the sound of his voice as you can see by the look on her face when he talks on the phone to her.



I graduated from the LPN program during the week. Brandon totally surprised me with flowers delivered that morning and then to show up at my graduation....what a sweetie. He definitely surprised me. He drove back to Idaho Friday morning to work for the day and came back that night. My parents and Karin came to support me as well. They took us to get pie afterwards, they are awesome parents. My graduation went great and I'm so excited to be done with my 1st year of nursing!




Me and the class were all disappointed we had to wear our scrubs to graduation. I mean c'mon isn't it supposed to be more formal than that?!


We stayed at Brandon's parents over the weekend. Kayli got worn out from so much playing. She definitely needed her alone time. The first picture is to show her bum. I thought it was so cute cuz we were drawing on the cement with chalk. I drew a rainbow and she went and sat right on it and got the image on her bum.

Here is Brandon with his dad digging up all the sprinklers. That was alot of work for the both of them!

And so now we're living in a hotel room with our stuff all stored by the moving company. If you are wondering... yes I am going crazy with an 18 month old in such limited space. There is a pool, but of course it's too cold for her to enjoy it. It hasn't really been the warmest outside either, really windy. But that's what everyone says about Idaho Falls is... It's ALWAYS WINDY. So more pictures to come on our new house!! We closed on it today and are so excited to be in there!! Thanks for both families for letting us take your space and food. We've enjoyed spending time with all of you and hope you come visit soon!

the best part of being homeless is living at home, right? What I wouldn't give to be at home... Congrats on the new job, graduation, big move, new house! I love Idaho Falls-- or IF as the locals seem to call it.
