Trying to Finish Well!

New things in our life,.... we have a new mailing, house address, and phone number down in Portland. If I haven't emailed it off to you please let me know via-email and I will get that to you. SO far the transitioning down is going well, don't quite have the next load figured out, might start moving more of the furniture and clothes down. Leave the house in Lake Stevens skeleton function. Don't know seems pretty surreal. Yeah for Shane, he finished his classes for the U of I this week. So after "muffled" years he is going to graduate from U of I. His last week of work is also happening this week. He will work Wednesdays/Thursday thru July then he will be onto a new job in August god willing. I'm thinking about taking advantage to living on a College Campus and going back to school to finish out my college experience and getting a Bachelor's degree in Biblical Foundations. I've sent off request for my transcripts, if I start in Nov. or Feb. of next ye...

This week as a treat to ourselves the kids & I have been hanging out with our Dennis Clan cousins. We spent some time Wednesday with Neva,Jason, & Thomas, then Thursday we went to the Zoo with Aunt Dawna, Cousin Bryn, & Ansley. Today is an off day since it has started to sprinkle here. This is the first rain is 29 days. Oh and exciting news this week Daniel has decided to go poo in the potty chair, so yesterday I let him pick out a cake and Shane is bringing home balloons for the kids tonight .

Well we've started transitioning down to Portland this last Monday. It was good, God blessed us with some very nice neighbors, the Tara & her husband on the right have a Girl Madison, Kelli's age, boy Alex, Daniel's age, and another girl Brooke, Dakota's age. Frankie, whom Shane has met before has a little girl Kelli's age and two more I believe. The house is nice, needs some TLC done to the outside, I'm configuring battle plan on how to situate kids and all our stuff in a different space. We'll see! Shane is busy busy boy this week, He has 5 test for the Psychology class ending Friday, English class ends next Friday and has 2 test this week, plus all the reading and essay's for his Prophets class. kelli's last day of school is today, we'll see how it went. Daniel is starting to go Poo in the potty chair YEAH!! Dakota is going to be moving into a big girl bed this Month. Her potty training is going well also.

Nothing really new happening just staying level on the activities going on in our lives. Next Monday the transitioning down to Portland takes place, not sure how long it will take, were hoping a Month of Monday trips will get us moved down there. But there are so many hurdles still. We are also tentatively planning a trip down to Mom & Dad's, & swing into Boise, while Shane doesn't have class around the 4th. Oh and Seth rolled over last Thursday/Friday. Boy I should have marked it on the Calendar, I put it on Facebook! SO I'll have to look back what date that happened. :-) Silly Kristi

sometimes life is just up in the air, I know were will be landing just not sure when will be landing. :-) Which is okay, God has His timing and it is perfect. I'm trying not to be impatient or worry but it seems like human nature to do so. Other things going on Kelli has little over two weeks left of school. Seth turns 4 months this month, Shane is busy doing homework every night from the 3 different classes he's taking right now, Daniel has an over abundance of energy, and I've got to keep training Dakota not to scream about Everything. We've only had one person in the 12 days the house has been on the market come and look at it, which is okay. Our realtor is going to have an open house during the week for other realtors to come check out the house. It's a beautiful day and has been gorgeous weather this spring. Oh and my iris I transplanted 4 or 5 years ago I've got one finally producing flowers!!
