Long summer break

Hey ya'll! I know its been a while. We've had a long an interesting summer and I haven't had much time to myself lately. At the end of May we moved from Idaho to Maryland, leaving behind all our friends for a new journey. Its been a rough transition. Eva is taking it all in stride being only 18 months old now, but Tabitha has had a hard time. She misses her friends. I've had a rough time as well. I miss my friends. I miss having such an awesome support structure. I also really miss Rexburg. I miss the feel of it. Everyone was a member of the church, you weren't bombarded with inappropriate clothing or language everywhere you go. You didn't have to navigate the hundreds of people smoking at every exit, everywhere you go. There was also the feeling of community. Almost everyone in our complex would spend the afternoons outside chasing our kids together and helping each other out. I really miss that.
Maryland is beautiful. The trees are amazing, I love that there are little ponds everywhere. I love that there is so much historical significance to teach my kids. I love that I can take them to the smithsonian and teach and show them so many things I couldn't have back in Idaho. I have better medical care for Tabitha here. We have started the process to get Tabitha into ABA therapy and into preschool. There are so many programs that will help her that we couldn't get back in Idaho. Morgen has a great job. He just finished his training and will soon be starting actual work, which he is excited about.
I haven't had much time or a place to sew and most of my stuff is still back in Idaho in our storage unit, which is kind of a pain.
I really hope to get back to crafting, and writing soon. I pulled out a dress that I started when Tabitha was 18 months old. I will hopefully finish it soon so Eva can wear it. I have actually made a different version of this dress (its my own pattern) before and I have been wanting to write a pattern for it so you all could make one too so that is my current goal.
When we moved to Maryland from Idaho we couldn't come out first to find a place so we had to hope that we would find something good like we did when we moved to Idaho. Unfortunately it didn't work out that way. We ended up in an awful place that was dirty and starting to fall apart. We were able to move again to a much nicer place but it was a stressful move and cost all we had to make a second move.
We are trying to get settled now and will hopefully get back to our regular routine soon.
Not that this has anything to do with the post, its just a fun picture we took before leaving rexburg.

What I've been doing, while I was not on here!

SO I know I've been super lazy busy and haven't posted anything in a month! Wow! Ok so this is what I've been up too.
Babycakes is teething (4 coming in at once), She's also started the terrible 2's a little early, all day long its "NO, MINE!" Well let me tell you I could do without that sentence in my life!
My Wonderful DH got a JOB! YAYAYA! So excited about that one since Christmas was looking very lean around here!
We're Moving! Finally! Thats right, the plan right now is to move our stuff to AZ sometime the week after christmas, then for DH to go to ID and start school, then BabyCake and I will join him a week later with all our stuff! Whew! I'm tired just thinking about it!
I decided to close my ETSY shop until after the move, It was just too much work to try to keep it going when really it wasn't going anywhere. Plus with no time to sew It was looking a little sad!
PACKING, PACKING, PACKING!
CLEANING, CLEANING, CLEANING!
Trying to get as many Christmas Presents done as I can before the middle of the month, I need to send them to AZ and Pack up all my craft stuff!
I've also been getting ready to sell some stuff at a craft fair my mom's group is putting together, I have a ton of half finished items that need to be finished by sunday!
Looking for housing in ID, thats kind of a pain when I'm in CA!
DISNEYLAND! YEAY! We took Tabitha to Disneyland for the first time. The first day not so fun, rained all day and so she had to stay in her stroller and it was crowded. But the second day was wonderful, sunny, warm, and no crowds!
We've decided we are going back for her 2nd birthday! We've lived in CA our whole lives and never owned Disneyland passes, we're moving to ID and buying disneyland passes! haha!

Well I actually have some fun stuff planned for the blog this month in between all the packing and time outs! =)
Hope you all are having a wonderful December so far!
