The last month has definitly been a stressful month. Trevor graduating, birthdays, new car, moving, and last, God has called my grandma back to him. Needless to say, I'm glad to be seeing the end of May 2012. It's been so up-and-down, and though there have been many positives, I am so ready to find a new 'normal' daily routine.
I don't want to delve too far into this event, but I do feel I need to touch on it lightly. My grandma Grace, passed away on May 21st. She has been declining recently, and though it was expected, it was a sad day. The important thing to me is that I got to say goodbye while she was in the hospital. She is with my grandpa in heaven now, and that is what gives me comfort.
For the last two weeks, we have found, applied for, and signed a lease for a tiny, albeit adorable house located not more than 4 blocks from our old house. It's a one bed, one bath, itty bitty house.

It has a small laundry area, a fenced off side yard for Keira when we're not home, and a large front yard (also fenced) for playing in. Though it's been tough trying to condense our large amount of stuff to fit into our new home, with leaving us room to move, it's been fun to make our new home, feel like home. We have had to get creative with storage, and our large sectional couch, has been pulled apart and we are using one half of it until we can sell it and find a more suitable replacement.

I like to think of it as a cottage. Those are small right? Well, it's all we need, and it will help us keep our bills low so we can save for things we really want (such as Paris, and a down payment on a house). If Dave Ramsey were here, he would give us a high five...I think.
