The kids and myself arrived in Boise late Friday night/early Saturday morning..depends on how you look at it when its after 12am. HAHA
It wasn't planned to go through the whole way, we were going to stay over Friday night in John Day but as you probably all know... things change!
The drive wasn't bad at all. Pulling the trailer wasn't horrible either. I actually forgot at times that I was pulling a trailer. Crazy huh?!
Granted the trailer wasn't that big (4x8) and it wasn't that full but I was pulling it with a Sante Fe. Not the biggest vehicle to use of course, but it did really well and I was quite impressed.
There are so many emotions I'm experiencing. I'm happy and excited to be here and anxious to start school. At the same time I'm sad to be away from my husband and for the kids to be away from their father. I'm scared of how I'm going to do in school... Actually I'm more scared of AFTER school.
How do you find that you get through things when you are hit with so many emotions at one time? Do indulge in delicious fattening food? Hang out with your friends and family? Maybe dive into a hobby?
Its harder for me now as I'm not at home with all my belongings. I was limited on what I could bring. I'm thinking I may have to take a trip and get some items to help me pass the time and be able to busy myself.

Overwhelmed and in a funk?!
I'm not sure if I'm subconsciously overwhelmed and that's why I'm in a funk or what, but I do know I have TOO much to get done and LIMITED time to do it all that I have NO time to not have any motivation. haha
Like seriously I know you're not all up to date on everything going on but basically the kids and I are moving out of state on the 13th, which is a week from tomorrow. I need to figure out what to take of theirs and mine. I need to figure out what else to box that is staying at the house and I need to downsize on some of the stuff that is here so my husband can take it and donate it.
Its all happening quicker than I anticipated and I knew I had time but my time is dwindling away and I have NO motivation even though I know it all needs to be done and if it isn't done by me that my husband will be left to do it... EEK! Can you imagine your significant other packing up your house? I can't!!!
Some days, like today, I wish our original plan of moving in June was in affect but the truth of the matter is... LIFE HAPPENS! Which is exactly why I'm going next week and not 2 months from now. Tmobile shut down the call center my husband works at. Well, they are at the end of June. So since we're unsure of exactly what is going to happen with his employment status we decided it was best for me to start school sooner than later.
The start date was originally June 25th. The class date before that that I could get into... April 17th. EEK. We found out the news about T-mobile at the end of March. Not a lot of time to put things into affect or figure things out so it was somewhat of a quick decision, do it or don't and who knows how'd that go?! I mean we don't know how this is going to go, so we're really just going day by day. Not a lot else we can do, right?!
I have faith it is all going to work out and things are going to be great... but at the same time I'm worried. I know its normal and its okay and that's not an issue for me. Its just that the unknown is kind of scary and our daughter, well, she's gotten home sick when we've been together on a trip as a family. I know its going to be hard on her and I'm hoping it isn't as hard as I'm thinking it might be. I won't know how it is going to affect her of course until we are there and see how things are going.
I'm excited for school and the new opportunities but at the same time I'm a bit reserved about it all too just again because of the unknown. I like to know what is going on or at least somewhat of what to expect so this is definitely going against what I'm used to in so many ways.
I'm thankful for the advancements of technology for sure. Its going to much so helpful to have the internet and Skype to keep in touch with my husband. Not only for me but the kids' sake as well. Of course we still have the phone but it is much nicer to be able to see your loved one's face when possible!
For any of my readers that are going through changes or difficult times for whatever reason it may be, you're in my thoughts. I hope everything goes well for you and if they already are I hope they continue to do so.

I have a channel!!
Yes, that's right, I have a YouTube channel!
I'm so excited to get it up and going. I could use help from everyone in getting it viewed!
Please share with your friends and your family. Please share with me what you would like to see.
I can't guarantee to get a video up of every request but I will do my best to share what you ask for!
It is FAMILY FRIENDLY! Just like my blog! So you're safe to watch it at home with the children around or even at work if its permitted.
Check it out if you'd like! The first video is currently being processed, so if you try to view it in the next few minutes, it might not let you. But please check back later!

Videos- Yes or No?
Do you all like videos? I think I have found a way to put up some videos for when I do a product review! And for other miscellaneous things. haha
I was thinking of doing photos and such but that just isn't as effective in my opinion. At the time it was all I had to work with though so that's why I was going to do it that way.
Please keep in mind when you watch the videos that will be coming up, I do NOT have any experience with video editing. So they may not be the most professional when it comes to being put together.
However, I can tell you they will be family friendly. There will be no curse words or nudity of any kind so you won't have to worry if you're at work or if your children happen to want to watch. I know my children LOVE videos and are always wanting to watch what I have on my screen.
It is important for me for my followers to not have to worry about where they are or who is around when they come to my blog.
I'm thinking in the future of purchasing video editing software if necessary. My husband THINKS that I might have something on my computer already that MIGHT work. We'll see.
So, I need to know, what kind of videos are you most interested? What kind of products would you love to see IN ACTION before buying? Please share any and all ideas with me. HELP ME HELP YOU!~
