So I pushed for the house to be on the market before Christmas. I am not sure why but I guess because this whole things has taken so long that I wanted to if I could. Here is the link for anyone that is interested. If anyone knows anyone that needs to buy a house in Katy, TX I have the house for you!

We hope it gets some activity after Christmas, we will let you know.

Moms gone loopy...
So this Christmas since we are going to have our house on the market I asked the kids if it would be ok to just have lights and ball ornaments on the tree. They said yes and we then decided to string Fruit Loops to go on it as well. I have yet to find a tree topper that I love and every year seem to go with the bow thingy at the top. So tonight while I pondered this I decided I would attempt a tree topper out of Fruit Loops...here are the results. I will post tomorrow after we finish decorating it. I must say that I love it and I think it is perfect for our loopy family.
Alexism
I have been asking Alex what he wants for Christmas and he says he doesn't really know. Last week he said he would have to think about it. Today I asked again and he said, "it doesn't matter as long as Santa bring me something I will be happy!" This is so Alex, he is always happy whenever he gets something, it doesn't matter what it is.
El Camino
Emma and I were driving today and she saw an El Camino. She asked "What is that car/truck thing over there." I said, "That is an El Camino, they came out in the 70's and were way popular." Her response, "That is so awesome!" I thought that was funny.
Oh, and Dylan today said he wanted a leather jacket for Christmas and leather pants to go with it! :)

Wish list
Don't know how many of you have Qubo. It is a channel on TV that we just started getting with the DTV conversion. Basically it has kids program and infomericals. My kids see all kinds of things they want and things they think I want. Alex once told me I need the miraculous neck cream for my neck wrinkles...thanks Alex. I also needed a rotating curling iron thing because my hair gets smashed between two hot plates when I use my flat iron. So on Dylan's wish list, #9 says this:
Wandarama fun kit dubllit pleece
I am not sure what a wandarama fun kit is and it took me a few minutes to catch what dubllit pleece meant. You know if you order now they will "double it"...
HAHAHAHAHA, thanks Qubo!

MOVING...
Well, it is official, we are moving to Utah. This is both exciting for me and a little sad at the same time. My kids are thrilled and excited to be closer to cousins. I am hoping to get my house on the market in the next week and see what happens. I hope it doesn't take too long to sell as we are missing Justin and he won't be coming back here to live. He officially starts his job on the 4th of January so until then he is a temporary employee. He will be home for Christmas and we are all happy about that. This is a great opportunity for him and his career and we are all happy that this has finally happened! There are some things I will miss about Houston. I try not to think to much about it because I tend to get weepy. So here is a small list of some of the things I will miss...
* the ability to drive past my childhood home even though no one I know lives there anymore it is still a comfort
* the great family and church friends I have and have made since living here for the past three years
* the area of town we live in has been wonderful and we have had great neighbors and kids for my kids to play with
* I will be sad to leave behind my vinyl business and the contacts and customers I have made and become friends with. I know that I will still be doing this in Utah however I have several regulars that I will be sad to leave. And I am not sure to what level my business will grow there since there are so many already doing vinyl there
* I will miss my quarterly "Girls Night Out" with my high school buddies, we were very close in high school and even though we only see each other every few months it is sooooo fun to catch up and give and gain advice on marriage, parenting and life
* My house, I have really made it my own...okay I am sniffling now...and I hate to leave it since it really says who I am.
* Los Cucos but I am looking forward to Cafe Rio
* My brother, I don't see him all that often but I will miss our visits
* the ocean...I have always said people are either ocean people or mountain people...I am an ocean person moving to the mountains. I will learn to adjust.
* My sewing job. It is a no brainer and great money.
* The way I know my way around Houston...Utah has that grid system that seems so strange to me.
I am sure there are many other things but these are the things I have thought about recently.
There are things I am excited about moving to Utah and being close to my sister tops the list. We plan to stay with her a little while while we are house shopping. It will be so nice to actually see her regularly rather than talk to her several times a day on the phone. Justin also has some family there, a sister and her family and a brother and his family. We are happy to be close to them as well and be able to share fun things like holidays and birthdays and Sunday night dinners. I am anxious to see how it all turns out. I am hoping that my house sell quickly and that we can head to Utah in January some time.
We will miss you Katy, Texas (Houston) but Utah will be lucky to have us!!!
