Life in Yorba Linda!

Hello everyone!

News from my world! Well, I have brought my luck upon my poor in-laws! First thing, the day we move in, their air conditioner breaks. Next... 2 days later, we have a 5.8 earthquake! I am not sure what the elements out there are trying to tell me, but I think that I am just not getting it! heehee But, seriously, we couldn't be in a better position. We have really been enjoying the pool and their amazing yard! It's been fun having family dinners together and watching movies, etc. I am just sort of looking at all of this as an extended vacation. The family was a little shook up about the earthquake, but I think that the worst is over. Peggy and Paul have some minor fixes that need to be done on the house, but nothing that looks to be too bad.  Every time that Kirsten hears a noise she still jumps, but she has calmed down about that too. Morgan and Brittany were in the worst room, and they hurdled a turned over bookshelf and came screaming down the stairs. If it wasn't so scary, it would've been freakin' hilarious!! We left and got lunch and we all went swimming for a little bit and by night, everyone was a lot calmer 

Well, that is all that I have to say for now. I will report back when I have some solid news! 

Focusing my Chi!

OK everyone! I am feeling better! Sorry to worry some of you! Life is still a little uncertain, but we at least have a plan. Jason is getting job offers from all over, and we have to be out of here by the 31st..... So, we are shoving all of our worldly possessions into a storage unit and falling upon the graces of my amazing in-laws! They are kind enough to let us "park" at their house until we figure out the rest of this plan. Which, for the sake of Peggy, I hope is sooner than later! heehee We are about 1/2 to 3/4 done packing, but we will easily be done tonight. I feel so bad for my girls. I know that they will survive all of this, they are very strong girls, but...., we are still asking a lot. They have been so great through all of this, I couldn't ask for better girls. And!! Thank God for Jason, whom without, everyone would be visiting me in some sanitarium! Seriously, he is my lifeline! How lucky am I??

Oh, I have to mention this! Yesterday, Kirsten looked at me and asked, "Mommy, do you miss your mom?", so I said, "yes, honey I do, I miss her everyday", and she said, "yeah, I really miss my grandma, my other grandma, your mom."! So.... I think that was someone telling me to go visit my mother! I guess that as soon as I can, I will be heading up to Utah!

FREAKING OUT!!!

Ok! This is TYPICAL of my life!! As of this very moment, I have no clue what is going on in my life! Audi and Jason's (previous) future employer decided that they couldn't reach a financial agreement and are going their separate ways. So, Jason is looking into other options. That is the positive here, he will be able to work somewhere else quickly because of his skills, BUT STILL!!! Uuugggghhh!!! We have to move out by the 31st of this month, and now, we don't know where. One job is in Tempe, AZ so we could live in the same area we were looking before, but several are here in Cali. I would be happy to do whatever it is that we do, I would just like to know WHAT THAT IS!!! We should have an answer later today, but I will be a wreak until that time! So, those of you that received pictures of my beautiful home.....  That will be someone else's, and I will be looking for something else. What a mess! I will post more later today when we have an answer, or maybe tomorrow..... who knows! All I have to say is, "Hopefully Soon!". 

Off to New York!

Here's my little girl, off to see the other side of the USA. Peggy and Paul (in-laws) have been promising Morgan, that they would take Morgan to NY when she turned 16, since she was 10. And so today they left.... I am so excited for her! What an amazing experience!! They are going to the Guggenheim Museum, and the Museum of Natural History, the Musical "Mama Mia", and of course, "Phantom of the Opera". What a blessing to have such giving people in our family! Thank you G'ma and G'pa for making this dream come true for my little girl. We love you!!

Good-bye Talberts!

We first me the Talberts in August of '03, and we hit it off from the very beginning. Kirsten and William were just learning how to walk and we went through all of the bumps and bruises of raising little ones together. Of course, I had gone through it with Morgan and Brittany.... but there was such a huge gap that I felt like I was starting over with her. Since that first day, they have been so close and always got along very well. Kirsten and William will remain friends forever. She told daddy after William came in to say "Good-bye" that, "when you have a best friend for as long as William and I have been friends, you're supposed to get married!". Then she proceeded to drop to the floor and cry. It absolutely broke our hearts. I would have to say that Wallace, Laura and William will forever be family to us. And, I am very sure that we will always stay in touch. You don't just give up friends like these because of a little thing like moving! heehee We will miss you guys! 

4th of July

We spent an amazing day at the Lagoon. It was bitter sweet though! This will be our last 4th at the lagoon and the whole "moving thing" is really starting to weigh down on me. I know that all is going to be good, but I don't care who you are, it is difficult to leave somewhere that you've been for 6 years! I am going to miss all of the wonderful people that I have had the pleasure of hanging out with and relying on! We will keep in touch, but it just isn't the same. Thank God, I have loved ones and friends that will visit and "keep it real" for me. I do think, that after looking at this picture, I need to stay out of the sun for a little while and maybe keep my face out of the fridge for a month or so! heehee We really enjoyed our day in the sun and fireworks by the lake! All in all, there were aprx. 50 people with us and we felt so blessed to have so many friends and loved ones with us there on our "last hurrah"! So, thank you everyone for joining us and hanging out. We loved it!!
