The Long Road

One of the dinner stops along the way.

Here are some of the pictures from the drive from New York to Utah. I was grateful that the kids did so well. It is amazing how much a little treat can get the kids in a good mood.

Things that are going on . . .

The kids and I just got back from the Syme cabin yesterday. We went up on Thursday. It was nice to get away and spend time with the Symes'. The kids enjoyed being outside, playing in the dirt, riding the 4 wheelers, the junk food, and all the things associated with camping.

I should know more tomorrow about when I am moving to Clearfield. A few complications have come up, but the company is working to resolve them. The place was nice. It is a two bedroom town home. It also has one and a half bath, which will be nice! There is even a possibilty of moving into a three bedroom, which would be wonderful! I'm looking forward to getting things settled since Miah should be starting school in less than a month.

JD is still in NY working for the time being. We are searching for a job for him here and hope that something works out soon! Otherwise he will prbably stay in NY for a couple of months until we can get a few things paid off and perhaps live on what I make for a few months. We are hoping it is not too long and we can find him a job here ASAP! I don't know how single parents do it. It is really hard to work and take care of the kids, even with the help of our families. We also wanted to take advantage of health, dental, and vision insurance one last time before JD quits. We don't know when we would have these things again.

So not much has changed. There are still a lot of unknowns right now, but hopefully we will be figuring things out very soon and be together again.

I forgot my camera cord again, so no pictures yet!

crazy busy

I have been crazy busy, so sorry for not updating much! I got the apartment manager job and will be moving to Clearfield. The date is suppose to be Aug first, but they want me to sooner if possible. I'm going up tomorrow to see the place. It is suppose to be nice. It is right next to the elementary school and a park, so those will be nice! It will just be weird living by myself with the kids.
We haven't been up to much just working and seeing those that we can. We hope to see many more when things settle down a little!

We made it back to Utah!

So we made it safely back to Utah. We arrived around 4 in the afternoon yesterday. The kids were great travelers. They did great for spending two whole days in the car. I will post some pictures, but I forgot my camera at the Syme's house.

I'm suppose to get a call tomorrow from the manager of the apartment place. I've got to set up an interview with her. They are thinking of putting us in an apartment in Sugarhouse and it sounds AWESOME. It is bigger than any place we have lived, AC, walk in closets, pool, clubhouse, internet, covered parking, and a dishwasher. I just may never want to leave! I'll keep you posted, but please keep your finger crossed that it works out!

We took Dad to the Bronx Zoo today. The kids loved showing him around!

Dad arrived

If anyone sees Mom tell her that Dad made it to NY this morning. Their phone line was dug up and is not working.
