It's becoming REAL!

      I keep telling myself to post every Sunday...As you all can tell, Sundays come and then they go...AND no new posts.  Maybe I can change that...bluh!  I doubt it with what is about to hit the fans!  PA school starts late August and everything...I mean Everything needs to fall into place.  This is the time when the details must be met.  And they must be met in the correct order.


First and foremost Abby and I took a nice trip to Virginia!  O, it was soooo nice!  No Kids!  (Thank you Deanna for watching them!)  This was the first time in a number of years that Abby and I had been on a trip with our girls.  


Thank you technology.  We were able to FaceTime and communicate with our girls while we were gone.  It was so neat to see them, they expressed their excitement by not holding still during it. 


Anyways, our main objective was to find a place to live.  We wanted  nothing to do with apartments.  Having lived the apt life for the last 8.5 years and having to hear everyone and smell their stinking cigarette smoke.  Unable to open our windows because of it... We are done with apartments!!!
    
We had hoped for a home to rent, but we ended up with a townhouse.  Which is absolutely great!  It's an end unit which equals more windows!  It has a fenced in backyard!  Perfect to send the kids out to give Mom a break!  Huge kitchen with tile floor.  It has 3 beds and 2.5 baths.  Anyways, it is perfect for what we need!  

                              Don't mind our Awesome rental car in the pic!

Again, don't mind the owner's table and chairs...they were in the process of moving out.  Here is the Mighty backyard!  It is the only fenced-in yard on the block!  


During our quick 2.5 day trip we were also able to settle our financial aid through JMU.  That's a whole other story...!  To give you a hint, I will Not be working during my 7 semester adventure.   


We also found Hannah's elementary school!  It seems like a wonderful area and school.  It also has a preschool for Grace when she turns 3.  And its free through the state!  Yeaaah!
