So much...

I have so much on my mind lately.  And at times it can consume me. 


As I've mentioned we have an upcoming move this summer.  And nothing is for certain to where we are going so I have no details for you.  It's sort of wild.  To not really know where you're moving until three months before you do.

There's a lot of mixed emotions when it comes to moving.  I mean we're bloody excited of course.  New place, new things to do, a walmart...I mean the little things.  It's scary because we'll be buying our first house and back on a super strict budget.  Going from hardly any living expenses back to paying tons of bills, a mortgage, gas for a car and anything and everything in between.  I'm nervous.  I'm not gonna lie.

And of course there's actually a LOT that we'll miss here.  We have fabulous friends...for reals I have a fairly good social life when we all get together.  Hot Husband (and I) have a two minute walking commute to work.  There's bonfires, girls nights, (and UFC nights) and my neighbors (two in particular) that always cook such good stuff.  There's also TWO babies that are finally born and we'll be back up here with us this weekend.  (I'm a wee bit excited for babies to come here)

And of course this....

{Yes that is me demonstrating "Kristi Fierce" just yesterday when it was warm enough to sport Hot Husband's hoodie}

And the nice thing about here is the landscaping totally reminds us of home.


But at the same time I think we're ready.  We're ready to close this chapter, get back to church, and the Dollarama.  The two most important things in life.  Naturally.

With this buzzing of emotions that are in my head it makes me want to spring clean.  Decide what goes to garage sale...what to keep.  It's a hard balance between holding on to stuff that you don't need or want to replace and being wasteful.  It's actually driving me nuts!  I'm having a hard time.  There's things that I have that I thought for sure this time last year I'd want to sell....now I'm thinking..crap I'm going to have a mortgage...maybe I don't need to buy and bigger, shinier brand new version.

Would anyone like to come inside my head and beat the crap out of my running thoughts.

Umm thanks.


And then there's cute kid.

Oh how he'll miss driving himself around on a quad.

Okay he doesn't do that but the kid goes on a quad ride every single day no matter how cold it is.  He loves his routines of quad ride, seeing the planes take off and looking at the trucks.

But he needs friends.

Wanna know how I know?

Because sometimes he watches YouTube videos and he thinks the kids are really there playing with him.

"KID......KID....play trains???????"

That's a "no word of a lie" truth.

So anyway...no reasoning to this post.  Nothing but my random thoughts scared to buy a house and be tight again and my CONSTANT quest for balance!

LIKE random thought 598 - - how can I make myself LIKE cleaning my house??  I mean if I could just get over the fact that it needs to be done and do it...it really wouldn't take much time.

Which brings me to another thought.  I saw this home organizing journal on Passionate Homemaking and I think it's super awesome.  However WAY too overwhelming for me.  What do you guys do to keep up with keeping a home so that you're not spending all your free time doing housework???  I know I'm working and it'll HOPEFULLY get better when I stop again but really like my SIL says..


"It will take you the amount of time you allot for it.  So if you give yourself all day to do the dishes it will take you the whole day to do the dishes" 

 
Okay so that's not word for word but you get my drift.

Does this happen to any of you??

See I told you I had a lot of junk on my mind!

Okay I'm done.  This is what happens when I don't post for a few days.

Here's some more journal pages that I did. 

Wait? 

Are you sick of me showing these?

{Like you're gonna tell me if you are.}

Be Still My Heart


I dedicated this one to Hot Husband and took the lyrics from HSM3 because I was watching while I was making this and it just worked.


Wishes


This one I just had fun braiding the fabric and attaching it and thinking of the things I wish for in life.


PS-If you're wondering about today's PEEK I've decided to spread them out to every other week. That way I can do more of my own posts and make sure my PEEK participants get maximum exposure. Coolio? Good. Great. Grand.
