Then in September I helped my youngest daughter and her family move to Colorado and stayed for a couple of weeks.
That led to a process for me to decide where I was going to live..I decided to accept their offer to come live with them. yes I am blessed
Sadly that was not an easy decision, as I left my oldest daughter and two very special grand daughters in Illinois along with family members and friends , that are a part of my every day living... For those that do not know me, my family and dear friends are my life.
It took several weeks to give away , sell, and store most of my belongings.and lots of packing.I was blessed with good help and in time I was ready to make the move. So in November my daughter and family came to move me...
So I am in Colorado, it has been great. the weather is not too bad where we are, my family is doing well here. And my family back in Illinois does a lot of face timing and calling...thank goodness for new technology Speaking of technology, I do not have my desktop or my awesome printer/ scanner, so it is a new world for me to learn how to simply post on my blog...Then my laptop died, so I am using one from my daughter as well as an Ipad she gifted me with...yes I am blessed
They say change is good, and I am trying... For those that know me. well, sometimes change is a big struggle for me...I am trying, slowly
As this is my second attempt to post this update on this blog....
I am sad to say my crafting supplies did not make the move, as there was not quite enough room in the trailer ~ and my son-in-law thought I needed my bed and clothes more lol
They are all packed and waiting until the time we can go get them...
Til then, Krista's craft area is set up...well kind of sort of...yes that is another story, are you ready for that???
Krista had her new craft room all set up and in order, she was excited... However she learned a new baby was on the way, and he needed a room...So her craft room was emptied and sat up in a large corner of their dining room... Functional, looks good and we are thankful.
And it did not take Krista long to find an SU consultant close by Plus Krista and I have been to a couple of SU classes out here and that was awesome... So I will have a few things to share
So did any of you figure out the best part of all of this??? I am going to be a grandma again insert a huge happy smile...# 6 and the third boy currently we refer to him as # 4 lol
So for now I will leave you with this message, but I will be back... crossing my fingers and saying please God...I will share pics of where I live, and my family and creations when I can
2014 was a year of many challenges, many changes...many prayers... and many tears ...
I hope you enjoyed the hot tea...maybe tomorrow I will have some banana bread to go with it
Thank you all that have checked in on me, and still support me...I really appreciate you all

Thank you for the tea. I am looking forward to the banana bread! :) Glad you are back, and you are even closer to me now!
ReplyDeletethanks, and where are you?? sorry my mind is on overload
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see you posting again. I kept checking, hoping. :) Sharon may not see your response. She is in Kansas... so 1/2 way between you and me.
ReplyDeleteYou know I am thrilled for you and really do understand the choice you had to make. What would we do without Facetime! Love and Hugs! Kel
Thank you Kel ~
DeleteSo happy to see your smiling face sitting on that front porch rocker with your cuppa tea! Sending hugs and blessings to all the family with this big change not only in your life, but theirs as well. I know that this new little boy will also be a blessing to the family as was Faith just a few short years ago. Everything has a season, so now is the time to concentrate on family and Krista and the new little one to come. Time will come for crafting again.
ReplyDeleteMaggie, thank you so much~ there is a lesson in this I am sure
DeleteYes my season is for family right now... but I hope to put some me time in there as well I am blessed to have all of you understand
