So. many. boxes.

Last night I had a nightmare that I was being chased by rabid moving boxes that were trying to eat me.  Taking a look at the living room you can see why.

That black thing on the wall is actually right above a fireplace so you can get an idea of just how much is in the living room right now.

The craft room is even worse.  It is floor to ceiling with boxes and I can't even get in the door to take a picture.

I can't wait until we are all unpacked and can eat at home again.

The waiting game

we made it down to Memphis.  We got our internet hooked up today...

Now we're waiting for the rest of our things to arrive. We've been told they'll be here Tuesday which isn't bad because they said 7-14 days for the truck to get down here.  I guess tipping the guys well made them want to get to us first :)

It will be nice once all our stuff is here an unpacked.  Until then it's really hard to type with a laptop balanced on my feet.

Wordless Wednesday - All packed up

A little bit of Memphis

I was bad and didn't really take many pictures in Memphis.  We drove by Graceland, and yes, it really is in the ghetto. 
Most of the time was spent looking at apartment complexes.  We luckily found one we love only 5 miles from where Ben will be working. Instead of getting another car we decided to get a scooter.

Honda nhx110

I already told Ben that I plan to borrow it for short trips to the store. I'm also planning on Mod Podging my helmet. There will be a ton of crafting and home decor posts once we start to get settled in and I'm really excited about that.



Here's the most out of place thing in Memphis.  This pyramid looks like it belongs in Vegas.

This is the town square that is right by Ben's workplace. I'm in love with with old fashioned service station and gas pumps.

 Fresh Sushi and Deli...this was at the BP.  And I thought the Dunking Donuts/Sushi place in Boston was odd.

We're looking forward to being back down in Memphis. 

Back from Memphis

we did indeed make it back from Memphis safely. Our last 2 weeks in Boston are going to be a blur.
I plan to post a bit about Memphis when I have a few spare moments.

I'm still looking for guest blogs to help me out while all this is going on.  If you'd like to write a guest blog let me know.

Memphis here we come! - Looking for guest bloggers

Tomorrow we fly to Memphis to look at places to live.  I have never been to Memphis before so our scouting trip will be my first one.
I'm sure I'll take a ton of pictures while we are there.


I'm also looking for some guest bloggers since the move has been taking most of my brain power from me. If you have a blog idea feel free to send me an email with what you'd like to write about.  Crafts, cancer, parenting, you name it I've probably discussed it here.

I want to try and write a bit about the move once we get back from our trip this week. It's never easy to move, let alone several states away where we don't know anyone. Plus we're doing it with a toddler and a dog. 

Another interview...

At least Ben isn't flying out to this one. We're driving out to Western Massachusetts tomorrow evening.  Since Nana and Grandpa are out there we figured we'd make it a family trip.
I'll admit I'm a bit nervous moving back to that area.  At least we have friends and family there but it would still be nerve racking. 
In good news if we do move we'll be able to rent a house from his folks and have a ton of our own space which would mean a crafting room for me and a gaming room for Ben (and myself).  Garrett and Aloysius would both have a huge yard they can play in.
We're keeping our fingers crossed.  While there are some cons to moving out there we find more pros.  Garrett would be closer to at least 1 set of grandparents and we'd have a ton of built in baby sitters.

If we do move I'll have so many blog projects and nifty things to do.
