posting gone mobile!

So my lovely mother got me a cell phone the day before the move, which has already been a life saver! We still have two days to wait before we get internet, so this is via my new samsung.
We moved 2 days ago, and we've been settling in ever since. We still have a ways to go.
But i made stew last night which was delicious, so i can already see the changes that the move has stimulated!
There will be a much longer post once I've got my computer up and running.
Til then!

Stress induced ickies

So we are packing up the UHAUL today, and of course I'm sick to my stomach and stuck in the bathroom.
I hate that I'm that stressed out about this.
I'm so stressed about moving that my body is purging all it can from my body.
UGH.
And also,
GROSS.

Also, fingers crossed for us being able to move tomorrow as we'd planned. Our work verification hasn't gone through yet! We don't want to be stuck bumming off of family members for a few days while our stuff is all packed away.

Super short post, but I had to share!

We're MOVING


So, do you remember how excited we were to buy our first house? Do you remember how hard we worked on it? Do you remember how much we l.o.v.e. it?
Did I not share all that with you?
My bad.
Well, none of that matters anymore.

Cameron's job in Organic Food Distribution was good. It was family oriented which we loved. He enjoyed his work. It had great benefits. It paid the bills.
But that was IT. We've lived on no extras for the nearly 4 years we have been married.
For instance:
I have no makeup other than what my sisters/mother-in-law have given me of their leftovers.
We do not go out to eat ever.
We go grocery shopping once a week and aside from bills that is the only money we spend.
My daughter almost didn't get summer clothes, and I was going to cut the sleeves off of her long-sleeved shirts, and the legs off of her jeans, but my wonderful mother brought over a bag of brand new summer clothes for her so that didn't have to happen.
This was not working anymore to say the least.

Sooooo, Cameron has decided to become an Air Traffic Controller.
The closest schooling for that is 2 hours away. So guess what? We're moving 2 hours away.
Byebye house.
*sniffle*
Hello apartment.
*sniffle*
And room-mate.
*sniffle sniffle*

Yep. We're renting out the house we love. Signed the lease agreement with the renters two days ago.
And we move on SATURDAY.
That's in 3 days.
3 DAYS.
Everything is happening SO fast!
We've spent the last three weeks looking for renters, creating lease agreements, looking for apartments, filling out applications, packing, filing for financial aid, registering Cam for classes, and driving up and down the 4 hour round-trip drive to the place that will be our new home.
Our first home away from our families.
It's scary.

I still don't have my license which makes it scarier, but I am working on it. Got my permit renewed (again), and I drove around our neighborhood the other day.

On top of all this, Cameron had to have emergency surgery to have his appendix taken out.
This was an ordeal in itself because he was in extreme pain for nearly 24 hours before they figured out what was wrong.
They thought we were trying to scam pain meds. =/
Not cool.

Anyway, I'm hoping to start posting more often now that I've revamped the blog. Stay tuned!
