"We're All in This Together"

Who knew that a grown woman could be reminded of something so obvious by a movie....well, not just any movie! For those of you who have not had the High School Musical experience you might truly be missing out. Earl and I took McKenna this weekend to see her "love bug", Troy Bolton. In it's 3rd installment the HSM gang once again reminds us that we are in fact "ALL in this together". Whether it's high school, work, or raising our kids in this sometimes crazy world, we are all in it together. I never really got the concept of "it takes a village to raise a child" until I was the mother of two. Now I understand. If it was not for my family and my friends both near and far I'm not sure I could keep it together. So, do yourself a favor and sit down for a couple of High School Musical movies and enjoy their fun, yet agreeably cheesy message.

We are still on track to move this Friday (once again with the help of many friends and family). Consequently, we will not have internet access for 3 days. I'm hoping I can survive...but it might be close. I'll definitely have a lot of catching up to do on everyone's sites come Monday evening.
It's going to be so bittersweet to actually leave here. If I let myself stop and think long enough I get caught up in all the "firsts" that are tied to this house. It's our first house, our first big project, our first Christmas as a married couple, and then their are all the firsts with McKenna and Cooper. I guess it's just plain hard to imagine ourselves anywhere but Mountain View Road. We are crossing our fingers that our next neighbors are at least half as great as the ones we have now. But we feel so blessed to have the opportunity to have a new home and feel a sense of accomplishment in actually making it through the building process with some of our mental health intact. And I do stress SOME. I'm sure those near and dear to me will second that! I worry about how long it will take for our new house to feel like a home, but I guess that part is up to us. It will definitely be filled with love so I guess that's a start.

Hope everyone has a great week!
