Pardon the dusty mess - Its time for more change

I guess i'm not very good at keeping my blog up to date. I will try my best to keep it updated. I had to change the blog name since we are no longer going from apples to pineapples!  We are no longer moving to Hawaii.  I truly believe that things happen for a reason.  We never got any offers on our house, our trailer didn't sell, etc.  Just many factors.  Brad was sick for a few days missing classes. He missed a test and we decided it just wasn't meant to be and that it was time for him to come home.  He had been doing great on test and classes up to that point. We have discovered that we work better as a team then apart.  I was able to spend just about two months with him in Hawaii.  We were able to get a study habit down together.  Maybe it would have been easier if all three of us could have just picked up and moved at once. Unfortunately, that was impossible. Even after graduating there would have been no guarantee.   Brad has been back since the 23rd of April.  I'm glad he took the opportunity to try something new.  Could he have done it?  I'm sure.  It just wasn't the time or the place.  He is now looking for work and we are prepping our house to move back in!! We have been doing lots to the house so my next couple of blogs will be about our updates and upgrades to the house.  We are hoping to be back in soon!

I would like to thank a couple of people though!

 Christy and Dale and the kids, thank you for giving Brad a home, feeding him, helping him and helping me cope with being apart.  Thank you for including him into your family! All that you guys did was amazing, thoughtful and very much appreciated.  Brad probably wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the opportunity without your help, support and love! I'm just a little sad that we won't be able to live by you guys!  But what a great place to visit! :) love you guys!! 

To my parents, who allowed Taylor and I to move in for 6 months so we would be able to save money, allow our house to be shown, and just be with family - Thank you!  It was nice to have the extra support from you guys! It was super hard thinking about moving away and leaving you guys. I enjoyed my time back at home and I love you both, but am ready to be back at our house!

Thank you to Taylor for supporting your dad's decision to move regardless how hard it was to think about leaving family and friends!  Its been fun sharing a room and I feel like we are closer then ever!  I cherish every second we spend together, even if its just watching a tv show! Love you kid! 

To all our other friends and family, thank you for taking the time to check on us, whether it was a phone call, text or message, it was appreciated that you were thinking of us!
