Over the weekend my husband and I went to find a house we could rent. Well we finally found a decent one in Springfield. We looked at a bunch of them that were all run-down and really small. And we thought we were never going to find one that we could live in. We paid the deposit and the first months rent so now we can move into it whenever we want to. I have so much packing to do in the house im in right now. I have lived there for nine years! So anyone can only imagine how much that has accumulated in those nine years with 5 kids. I have been so stressed out because this is a huge step in my life. Leaving one life behind and starting a new one with my new husband. Im sad but in the same sense im excited. The children are excited also. They keep talking about all the plans they have for this new house. It is so neat to watch them get all hyper and want to start packing their rooms up all night. I had to step in and burst their bubble when I told them it was time to go to sleep because of school. They finally fell asleep but as soon as I woke them up this morning they wanted to stay home and continue packing. That was not an option!
