What a month!

We moved! and it was a lot less stressful that I thought it would be, mainly as we paid a firm to pack, move and reassemble everything. It was a massive expense (£675!!) but we have our deposit from the old place and my wonderful parents paid half (how fantastic are they!) and to be honest if we had tried to do it all ourselves it would have been terrible. I was really poorly with a chest/ear/throat/cold thing and spent most of the time doubled over with a hacking cough (attractive, no?), our youngest was suffering with the same germs as me but was coping by napping or having many comfort feeds for me (which was not helping with my general exhaustion) and both boys wanted to get in amongst everything.

Anyway on Sunday morning we went off nice and early to church and then on to a really lovely picnic with everyone after and didn't arrive back until around 2.30 in the afternoon. It was very serial to walk back into a house full of boxes all ready to be moved. So we settled down for a family movie (despicable me two) and takeaway pizza on the floor of our lounge and relaxed with the boys.

The following day the boys went with our wonderful nanny (who has them every Monday morning whilst both hubby and I work) to a friends house. Long story short by the end of Monday we were in and surrounded by boxes but thankfully the boys room was ready for them to sleep in.

That was four weeks ago and time has flown by! we have been so busy with life that I just haven't had time to write about what we are up to. Mr M has been working very hard, we have been to visit family and had family visit us. There has been very little sleep but have almost unpacked, and to top it off last week we have had a house warming to which 16 of our new neighbours came!

I am so thankful for our new home, but also very much looking forward to a bit of 'normal' life for a few weeks, and hopefully a chance to get a few more posts up.

It's really happening!

So today I was checking our bank account online (I use the app to transfer money to our credit card every time I make a purchase so that we don't end up with a large bill at the end of the month and to keep our current account up to date but more about all that in another post) and wow did I get a surprise!

I knew it was coming, but maybe it hadn't sunk in, one minute I am tapping in my password and next BAM!...

THE KICKSTARTER MONEY IS IN OUR ACCOUNT!

And I am speechless.

All those people actually backed the project. They gave us the money to make it happen. And now its going to get done. All our prayers about seeing my husband get to fulfil his calling are being answered.

Wow.

WOW!

And now is when the hard work starts, for me this means a lot of change. You see I have been very spoilt for the last few months as my wonderful husband has been on paternity leave since February (that's 4 months!). He has mainly been working on preparing and running the kickstarter but he was here in the house, willing to help out and wanting to spend time with us all. He has been on hand so when it all gets a little crazy, I have just had to shout for some help. But now he is at home, but for 40 hours a week he is working working and unavailable and that's taking some getting used to.

But for now lets get excited, lets be thankful and lets get working, there is lots to do.....
