Moving In

This is what happens when you keep moving yourselves to save/make money and your husband won't let you get rid of anything so you'll have enough weight to max out the money you can make--you end up with so much trash, you have to rent a Uhaul to get rid of it all. It was actually worse than this picture. We must be insane. A week after we moved in, Jer went on a high adventure trip with the older boys, then a day after he got home from that he went with Spencer to scout camp for a week. I may have already blogged about this but I'm too lazy to check. Our big thing we absolutely wanted to do as soon as we got here was put in some nice raised garden beds. It was a LOT of work and it made the move-in quite difficult because we were so focused on getting it done we ignored some other things we should've done like physicals for the boys. Nothing like paying good $$ to get those done just hours before they were all leaving. And Jer actually just got back from going to Youth Conference with the older boys too. He had 40 days off with this move but we had so much going on and have been so stressed out that he took 4 more days off this week so we could finish doing some more things and relax for a few minutes. It's been great!! Anyway, I wanted to post some pictures of the garden work.

And yes, we paid for all this stuff and it wasn't cheap. But it looks nice and here's hoping it'll pay off one day.

Soon I'll post some pictures of what the garden looks like now that a few things are growing in it. It's not too bad for people who are pretty clueless. But if you want to see something that's almost as impressive as our garden...and all my Cricut cards :-) , check out what my brother-in-law did at his house http://clarkcraziness.blogspot.com/2011/07/kitchen-remodel-is-done-well-almost.html Is that incredible or what!?
And while I was having so much fun recovering all my arts and crafts stuff in the move, the kids were in heaven finding things like the costume box again...
