All Moved!!!

Been a busy month... Finally took the last of our things out of Moore Rd. on Thursday, the 19th. I turned the keys in to the realtor on the 20th and the new owners moved in that weekend! We are currently camped out in Steve's basement until Detroit Edison decides to replace the power pole out in front of our barn and hook us up... The septic tank/field is done, the plumbing is all hooked up, the propane tank is now there and hooked up, and the electricity is all set in the barn and to the mobile home. Had to pull a few more permits and junk - everyone wants their money:( But, it is only one step away from being ready for us to move in, finally:) All of our stuff is in there - I work on organizing each time I go over there - we can run the generator, but it would cancel out the warranty on the well and it's expensive, too so we don't do it too much - only for power when we need it (and heat). Yesterday, Jeremy and I bought a stove and microwave for $220.00 and installed it and made sure they worked last night! Our refridgerator is here in Steve's pole barn with our stuff in it... Everything is coming together - we are sleeping in the basement here with mattresses everywhere, an air mattress in the spare bedroom upstairs for Curt and Isaac, and Lyndsay in her playpen downstairs as well. We are living out of suitcases and I still do 2 loads of laundry a day to keep up:) The kids were pulled out of school on the 17th and have been doing busy work during the last 2 weeks while I was at work. We will dive in full speed next week now that we are off work! Our last day at Orion Assembly was yesterday. Monday they started the buildout in Body and it reached us during the 2nd shift on Tuesday. When we came in Wednesday morning, there were no cars in Hard/Soft trim and the mats were all taken out (we had to put them on pallets) and we had to put the 2 drawer cabinets in the trash containers. They released us to leave at 9am after we got together for a group picture. I heard the last car rolled of the line at final at 12:45pm. Sad day for us - no longer employed. We will be off atleast 1 year to 18 months. See my facebook page for some pictures I took with my cell phone. Brooke had her EEG redone last weekend and the neurologist called me yesterday to say that she was having more "generalized activity" that indicates more seizures could happen. He asked if she'd had anymore (not that we KNOW of...), and said he wouldn't put her on meds just yet. We will go and see him on dec 21st. UGH... I of course had 50 questions after I got off the phone with him!

We are having a thanksgiving dinner here by ourselves this year - we needed a day just to relax and spend some "chilling out" time together as a family. Steve went to the mission in Flint and off to dinner with Sherry and we put one of the turkeys we raised last year in the oven this morning. I am going to clean up now, then start getting a few pies ready for the oven as well! Amber got home tuesday night - we picked her up in Clio and we are enjoying having her home! I take them all back (the Valdez's, too) on Monday. So much fun! I love my kids and husband!

Have a great turkey day and I will post some pictures soon! God Bless!
