I'll say something new for crying out loud!! I know it is bad when my father-in-law mentions to me that he is bored with my blog. I am just impressed that people actually read the thing.
December was crazy for the Minneys needless to say. A complete blur actually. I would really like to rewind it and start all over because it was just insane.
Let me start at the very beginning...a very good place to start. Since this is going to be a month covered in one post I will give you topics so you can read what you want of it...you may have to come back later and pick up where you left off...
The Move-
Was crazy weird. We left Howell on December 12 and arrived in OKC on December 13. The movers were hysterical and there are many separate posts I could make about their singing while they were packing my things. Many of my facebook friends and I talked all during the packing process about their singing it was quite entertaining.
Finding a House-
Ya know this was quite an experience. We decided to rent a house because as many of you know, GM is a little unstable right now. So, after looking at 5 houses in Liberty, MO we were able to rent the one I really wanted all along and am very very grateful. We were told that it was under contract when we went to see it but apparently the people didn't have good enough credit and we got the house. I spent the next couple of days getting the kids enrolled in school. The part that made it so memorable was the weather in KC. I was fighting snow, ice and school closings. MO doesn't have quite the capabilties that MI does when it comes to snow and ice and I slid around quite abit those days but God is good and we stayed safe and found the perfect house for our family.
Saying goodbye-
I didn't cry until it was time to leave CSA. Then the kids and I sat in the carpool line and cried...and cried...and cried. I truly loved that place and will miss it dearly. After CSA we met the Schoebs for dinner and then swimming at our hotel so things just got worse. We kinda had a good time swimmiing...ok, not really we all knew what was coming. But then it came, goodbye time...but then, in true Schoeb/Minney fashion...the goodbyes were said, tears were shed, they left and here comes Jayson. They had forgotten all of their stuff and he had to come back and get it. Too funny!
Living with family-
Since they account for 99% of my readership...this was a wonderful experience and am so thankful for them all.
Pictures-
I have tons and will get them up ASAP but we haven't unpacked all of the necessary uploading equipment so I have to wait a few more days. But please check back for pics of sledding in 70 degree weather in Bricktown, Zach and Grant sporting their handmade hats in the Oklahoma City Art Museum and Christmas with the Minneys and Stephens families. And of course our new town...Liberty, MO!!!
