Moving On

Moving on is hard, really hard. We have moved on to our new home of Ohio. It is definitely going to take some getting used too. Transitioning from military to civilian is going well so far, but we aren't technically civilian for another month, haha. We have been here exactly a week and the entire move didn't go completely as planned but we made it safe and that is something to be thankful for! After several long exhaustive days/weeks. We are once again said goodbye to "home". A place where Little Lady has spent 85% of her life and learned to walk and talk. A place where Little Man spent almost half of his life and turned from a toddler to a boy, where he started his schooling journey in Kindergarten! The beautiful Pacific Northwest and the amazing people we have met over the last three years! So bittersweet! I am sad to leave but I am so excited to move on to our next journey! To all the people we are leaving behind, there are far to many to mention, we will miss all of you and remember, it is not goodbye, it is only see you later!!! 

We left Washington State last Wednesday. We were supposed to leave on Monday but one thing after another, we didn't end up leaving until Wednesday. Once we handed over keys, we were out of there. We got as far as Wyoming and then we had to stop. There was a blizzard and due to this blizzard, they closed the entire interstate from border to border. There was also a huge accident (that we very well could have been in if we had left on time). We decided to call it an early day. The next day it was still closed so we decided to detour through Denver! That's when we actually got to see snow! Huge snow flakes! We also drove through about 40 miles of single lane dirt hilly road in a moving truck. That was interesting to say the least! It was pretty smooth sailing from there, minus the fact that I was down with a nasty chest cold!

Everything is well with Little Man and Little Lady! They are loving living close to cousins. It's good for them! I am 29 weeks pregnant with Little Baby! Only 11 more weeks (give or take a couple) till we can meet her! We are not fully unpacked as we are staying with family until we can find a suitable, more permanent place! I am just itching to get some crafting and some shooting in! Hopefully I will be able to soon! I have restarted my 101 in 1001, you can check it out here! And I have a birthday project project that I'm working on as well! You can check those posts out here! Till next time

Coffee Cozy! 25 by 25 Project 3!!

With moving so so soon, I completely forgot about teacher gifts for my kids teachers! Such a slacker, I know! So with the kids last day today and tomorrow, I needed something I can whip up fast and easy. In fact I made five of these in just a couple hours! You can find the pattern here on an awesome blog called Weekend Pursuits! I originally found the pattern on Ravelry! These work up beautifully!

I paired them with reusable Starbucks cups and they made great teacher gifts! I love killing two birds with one stone so this is also part of my 101 in 1001. Number 12 is to complete 25 yarn projects!!! This is the first one! 

Well we leave in about 10 days. So things are about to get crazy! Wish me luck! Till next time!
