Sunday June 21st..HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
We have officially been here for a week today. The hardest part for me so far was sending my Uncle off, back to Minnesota =( We brought him to the airport Early Monday morning..and by early I mean I had to get up at 4:00 AM! Yickes! But I wouldn't have missed seeing him off..very hard for me. I am soo glad he was able to be here with us, it meant sooo much to me! I wish I could just have one of my friends/family here with me at all times!
This week has consisted of a heck of alot of swimming..every day as a matter of fact. A little exploring and a lot of meeting new people. Although On Tuesday I ithink my husband was trying to kill us all! We rented a storage spot and unloaded the entire Uhaul and then the 24 foot trailer into it..and did I mention it was a HUNDRED degrees! Good greif it was hot! I don't think I have sweat that much in my entire life all combined! Sucked! But then we went up to the pool..aahhh... OK, i'm over it=) Darren started working already on Thursday so the kids and I explored and swam. We found out that We are 20 minutes from Target, Walmart, Chillis, Sonic, Olive Garden, MAURICES!! ..thank you Jesus! Walgreens, Lowes,Great Clips, SOO many places it's great! But yet we are out in the country. I absolutely LOVE it here! =) I miss all of my friends and family and can't wait till you all come and see our new paradise. But I know it is going to work out for us here, Zac met some people around his age at the pool and hung out with them lastnight..he even said he can't wait to start school! That makes me so happy, he was the one I was worried most about..it is so important to me that he liked it here and now that he does a huge weight is lifted! We did have to make our first laundry mat trip..it was ok untill we had to dry our clothes..remember how I said it's been HOT here..well it was hotter in the laundry matt than it was outside! YUCK! ..I'll have my own again someday..
I'll tell you about our day today then I am going to bed... We got up and went to church..not just any old church but "Cowboy Church" It was very neat, they have a breakfast buffett from 9:45-10:15 then church starts at 10:30. It has a band, but not the kind we are used to at New Hope in Minnesota, it's a country band which was pretty neat. During the service the pastor told a Ole and Lena from MINNESOTA joke! I think Darren and I shrank in our chairs! ..lol After church we went to the dollar store right up the road and then to the grocery store to get stuff to make a sald for the diner party/BBQ we were invited to at the lake. Came "home" and made the sald, got our suits and sunscreen on and headed over. Had a GREAT time, swam, rode jet skis, ate and swam some more before we finaly headed home. Had a great day! It's almost midnight..time for bed. I'll post pictures on my Facebook as soon as I can. Night night ya'll!

We have arrived!
Sunday June 14th
.. we get up, make some coffee and decide we would like some McDonalds breakfast..which we had been trying to get for a couple days but soemthing always happened that we couldn't. So Jeff and Zac head down the street on foot to get us breakfast, what seemed like foreever later they come back just laughing..I guess the computers were down at McDonalds and they had to go throught the drivethrough and got all of us breakfast for 10 bucks! It's a funny story..ask them to tell you, they are way bettter at telling it than I am. ANYWAY =).. we finally get on the road heading south to San Antonio about 11:00, stop and get gas at the biggest cluster @#*& of a gas station ever..and it's HOT! On our way again, about 4:00 we turn the corner at the Dancing Bear Cantina and there it is..the amazing georgeous place that we now call home! the Lake to our left is very low but it's still the color of the Caribbean..gorgoeus! through the hills we go..up down till we get to Heaths house..where we will stay untill we build. The gate opens as we pull up..we all pull in and park..we get out and sweat instantly..wowza! It's 100 degrees out! Heath comes pulling up seconds after we park to welcome us. We get parked and situated quick cause Jeff is leaving in the very early morning and we want to show him the place we will now call home. Heath and Ryker..Heath's 1 yr old son.. gave Jeff a tour of the shop, it's amazingly HUGE! Then Heath offers to bring Jeff up in his plane at 7:45 so we try to squeeze in the tour of Dancing Bear..the developement we are going to live in..we show him our lot and the club house with the pool, weight room etc. Then OFF they go on the flying tour =) Madi Jase and I stayed and swam at the pool while Darren, Jeff and Zac went up with Heath. I met a few other people from DAncing Bear, every one was very nice. We met the people that live eaccross t he street from us, the husband and wife are both PA's at the local clinic and they have a 16 year old son. perfect! =) It was a loong day but a great first day in Texas and I think Jeff will come back =) ..still so much to do..Sea World, Schlitterbauns, River Walk, 6 Flags..aka Fiesta Texas =)
On the road
The next couple days were filled with ALOT of driving..stopping to pee, eat, and sleep then back on the road again. It seemed to rain the entire way down, gloomy and rainy as if the mood wasn't sad and dreery enough..but we rolled on. I'd like to say I did pretty good for my first time pulling a trailer for a sigificant amount of time. There were a couple of pretty scarey times for me..like the time we were trucking on through Missouori and I noticed the sky was looking kinda mad, I took a picture and sent it in a text just showing people that we had been on the road for a long time and it still wasn't nice..and it wasn't a minute later that the sky opened up and I thought it was gonna suck us up into the clouds! It was WICKED! It rained so hard I couldn't see ANNYTHING!..but my husband, whom I was following..kept right on truckin! Pretty scarey. Or the time we were trying to go around Kansas City cause it was a "shitty City to go through"..the words of my husband..so we are going around it, and it's just starting to get dark and we hit constuction.. s l o o o w moving traffic and then we come up to a FREAKIN BRIDGE over a FREAKIN RIVER!! Was I freaking out!??? Well YES I was! I look around me as we are pretty much stopped and all I see is Darren in front of me in the motor home with the humongus trailer he's pulling and then there's me with a trailer packed full of stuff, and Jeffrey behind me with a 24 foot Uhaul FULL ..not to mention all the semi trailers all around me!! OH MY GOSH DEAR JESUS PLEASE GET US ALL ACROSS THE BRIDGE SAFELY! I had to call Jeff and have him calm me down..he did a great job =) We made it through Kansas City and Jeff text me and said.."wow!" I was confused..wow what? He said "the view" and I said..the only thing I see is this big white box that I have been focused on, trying not to let get too far away from me for a couple of days..there's a VIEW!!?? Well shoot! Thats when I decided to relax and look around and enjoy "the view" as we travel through the rest of the states. Turns out Oklahoma had some pretty darn cool scenery..people probably thought I was drunk..but I enjoyed my surroundings =)
We finally got to Texas on Saturday afteroon and stopped at the little rest area with the big Texas sign..it's tradition to stop and take our picture in front of it..it probably won't be tradition anymore considering we are now Texans =) And did I mention it is HOT! WOWZA! (..but it will NEVER EVER be 35 degrees below zero!) We decided to get somewhere with airconditioning to eat dinner Saturday night so we drove and drove but couldn't find something that was easily accesable to ALL of us..the three truck convoy. We decided to get south of Dallas before we stopped, we found a no name place that serves Mexican and Itallian..weird I know, but the food was AMAZING! and it had a big parking lot. We ate and slept. Sunday will have to be our "arrival" day.

broken hearts
Thursday night brought lots of heart break, saying goodbye is never easy. during the day packing away was alot easier because we were busy. Lots of people we love around us =) Some of Zac's closest friends came to help us pack, Forrest and Jordan, Alex, Hemi, Trevor, Andrea and Marissa ..but with that came having to say goodbye. Watching Marissa's heart break was heart wrenching! Her and Zac have been friends since Kindergarten, only living a couple miles apart they saw alot of eachother, they even tried dating back in 7th grade but realized they were too good of friends. As she gave her hugs to each and eveyone of us my heart broke more and more, she was trully devistated, we were taking away her best friend! =( As the day went on so did the goodbyes, Jill, Auntie Cindy and Justin, Ron, Grandma, Ang, James and Ayla, my best friend Andrea! My sisters! My Nephew Kadin! My niece whos more like a daughter to me Shyenne, Dave, The heart ache was endless. Then later that night Erik and Cody came over, two of the three neighbor boys that made up the 4 that were ALWAYS together.. missed you Timmy =( All the goodbyes and crying took alot out of all of us. We decided to stay in the motorhome in the drive way and get a good night sleep before we conqure the drive to Texas..looong drive.
Friday June 12th
We woke up to Darren's Dad outside talking to the new home owner Vickie, we emerge from the motorhome and before you know it Lewey stopped, Sammy and her Mom came came over, Frank and Jerry came, Forrest , Shyenne and Dave all stopped to see us off. So at about 10:15 we were on our way down the driveway with not a dry eye in either vehicle. So hard to pull out of the driveway for the very last time. We all look back as we leave and wave to everyone waving to us. We get about 5 miles away and I get a text from Cody that says..It was so hard to watch you drive away.. my heart broke instantly! I cried the hardest I had yet. I look over at Zac and see the tears streaming from his eyes and look back at madi as her heart is breaking, I feel like saying..FORGET IT! I can't stand hurting so many people! Please forgive me Lord for putting so many people through heart break! But I know it's too late..no turning back now! Then a song comes to mind.." I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance, Never settle for the path of least resistance, Living might mean taking chances But they're worth taking, Lovin' might be a mistake But it's worth making ..I hope you dance" .. Thanks Momma! and that's when I knew we were going to be OK.
We met Jeff at the gas station in Wyoming,MN, got gas, snacks and we were on our way.. on our way to the next chapter in life..to our new paradise. ..please Jesus, help mend the broken hearts we have left behind, help keep all the wonderful memories in all our hearts as they had just happened yesterday. AMEN

Saying goodbye
I finally am able to get online so I am going to try to go back a few days and "catch up"
Thurday June 11th
Thursday comes and we realize we have wwaaayy to much crap! We filled a 24 foot trailer and a 14 foot trailer and thats not enough! We either need to leave a LOT behind..or we need to find a way to get it down to Texas. SO..my amazing Uncle Jeff volunteered to drive a Uhaul down for us! =) VERY nice of him, way above and beyond "Uncle" responsibility..but thats just how he rolls =) So my sissy Sherry put in a call to her peeps and got us a 24 foot truck..yes I just said a 24 FOOT TRUCK! and worse yet WE FILLED IT! Crazy! It really is amazing how much stuff you can accumulate over 11 1/2 years..and yeah I had way more stamping/scrapbooking stuff than I thought, or than one person could probably ever use in a lifetime..i'll only admit that once, please do not refer back to this page! =)
So with the help of MANY we got everything packed and almost ready to head down, but one more trip around the house by myself before we go.. I walk down to the mail box and start my walk back ..goodbye to my Annie banannie buried under the big Oak out in front of the pond, I hope the Hosta blooms beautifully again this year.. walk around the pond to the the spot where my kids love to throw rocks in and think about how much work it was to get the pond looking as nice as it did, alot of love and sweat into each and everyone of those rocks..right behind me is the tree's that have grown so much since Darren planted them so many years ago in the late fall as it was snowing on him, freezing his little butt off..looking toward the house..the house that my husband and his father worked for so many months together building, the house that we made our home..then to the flower garden, the garden that my Mom and I made together, we tore out the sod, struggled with the edging! and layed the black dirt and bought flowers, we searched high and low for the perfect water fountain for the garden and DID finally find it.. two cherubs pouring water out of a bucket, then when Madi was about 2 she became part of the gardening crew. The year Mom passed I didn't really have a desire to plant my garden, we always went to the green barn together and did the entire thing together, I put it off and put it off and then one day I walked out the front door and my garden was FULL of flowers! FULL! They grew to be thicker and prettier than I could ever have planted them! It was AMAZING! SoI looked up and said..Ok Mom, point taken, you planted them so I guess I will weed them..so we gardened yet another year together =) and then I look to the porch, the hammock swing that I LOVE to sit in and look out at the garden and the pond, it's amazingly relaxing, that too I bought with my Mom at the Home and Garden show. I walk around the back of the house, down the hill the kids slide down, it's little but it was their hill, the hill that Jase learned to ride his bike on, then 20 minutes later was doing wheelies! . ..to the fire pit and the playhouse and to the garden I planted for my first time last year with the help of my wonderful neighbors that I could have never done it with out them..not sure I ever will again, my thumb is NOT green that's for sure =( walk back behind the garden onto Darren's little "back yard track" not very big bit it did the job. Then to the back of the pole barn where Sharlene and Nicks wedding pictures were taken, Sharlene said to me that she never knew how beautiful it was back there until we did her pictures. I hope the new owners take the time to check out the beauty. OK, time to head back up front..as I walk i glance to my right, across the grape vineyard that will be beautiful one day to the house where that little boy Cody lives, not so little anymore..16 as a matter of fact! my heart aches as I think about my 'other" son who's Dad is leaving for Afghanistan soon and now we are leaving him too..I'm sorry Cody. I try to swallow the lump in my throat as I continue on past the ginormous deck that Danny Darren and Wayne built that has held many family BBQ's. Always a great time. As I say my goodbye's to this amazing place I called home, I remember all the wonderful memories that this house holds, and try to remember that I can take them with me. The house I will never forget and yet my youngest two may never remember. I think back to the day Darren and I decided that Texas was our dream, the day we bought our land, the day I went for the first time to"check it out" and how amazing it was..but now it's a reality..am I ready for this?? I am excited to be a Texan! ..yet so very sad to say goodbye Minnesota and all the people and memories it holds.

23 hours till we're off...
1:00 am on Thursday morning and still so much to do, and nowhere to put it. My entire body hurts from the top of my head to the very tip of my big toe..pooped! I seriously NEVER EVER want to move again! I could have never done this without the support of my amazing family, sometimes I stop and think..what am I thinking moving away from such a wonderful family! THEY have been here helping me, packing boxes, packing the trailer, watching my kids, feeding me and my family and being my mental support. I am so blessed to have them all! I love them all so much it makes my tummy hurt that I am leaving them. Up until tomorrow it's been.."bye, see you later" but tomorrow will be so different...
I have been so crazy busy I haven't even stopped to think about all that is happening..my basement echos..there are NO toys laying ANYWHERE..nothing... It's not my house anymore, yet I am going to have such a hard time tomorrow.
Well One more thank you to all that helped today and yesterday..expecially Cody, for helping me bring the furniture INSIDE the garage at 11:00 lastnight when it started raining and I was home alone..thanks. Also... ANdrea, Forest, Jordan, Alex, Sam, Shelly, Cindy, Ron, Jill, Shyenne, Jeff, Sharlene, Nick, Sherry, Ang and grandma! Thank you all! ..time to head to my first night in the motorhome..the first if many.. night night.

packed the day away.
Woke up to a crabby husband..lots to do and not a lot of time to do it.. It is truly amazing how much stuff you can accumulate over 11 1/2 years! Also, the trailer he was going to buy tomorrow for us to put our stuff in to take to Texas was SOLD last night! He has been researching, trying to get the perfect one for the perfect price for about three weeks now, and the one he finally decides on is gone three days before we are leaving..I guess I get his crabbiness. Got a lot accomplished today though. I did have to go to work to turn in my keys today..very hard for me. I LOVE..d my job =( I walked in the customer door and stood on the other side of the teller line. Had to say my goodbyes, I am really going to miss the customers .. you really get to know them after 8 damn years.. and I work..ed with some really great people, somedays it wasn't like "work" at all, maybe more like a looong coffee date. I made some forever friendships there. I held it together pretty good until I had to walk out that door for my last time, my heart hurt! Great great people! I don't care what anyone says, I know I won't ever find a job like the one I had at Landmark.
Came home and continued packing, kept my mind off of it. I'm proud of myself..my "give away" pile is getting pretty big. Zac was actually very productive today too, he almost has his entire room packed..with the help of his friends.."FoJo" as Darren calls them. They are great kids! I'm really going to miss ALL of our neighbor boys, we really got lucky with the friends/neighbors we have here, they are like family..I'm sad to leave them, believe it or not I am going to miss them hanging out, eating us out of house and home, coming and going, "making themselves at home" =) but I know that it is just a matter of time before they are all grown and out doin their own thing and not hanging out at the Chelin's house. I've already watched one of them grow up! When we moved in he was this little red haired kid with glasses that couldn't wait to come meet the new neighbors that were building a house across the field, AND they had dirtbikes! Cody and Zac were together so much that Cody was apart of our family, and Zac was apart of his family..and now he is 16 and driving! I'm hoping we get that lucky in Texas, but no one could ever replace the friends we've made here..at 25061 Vickers Street Isanti Minnesota! ..

Day before closing
Here we are, the day before I hand my house, my family's home of 11 years over to a couple that don't even have little kids to live in Jase's "cars" themed bedroom or Madi's pink yellow and green stripped room..that was a lot of work by the way. Or play in the play house that my husband and his Dad built, with lots of sweat and love! Here we are..approximately 16 hours before my house is no longer mine. the only house that my Zac can ever remember.. where he learned to ride bike, were he learned to throw a baseball, where my Mom, his aunties ,and Darren and I sent him off to his first day of kindergarten..1st grade..2nd grade..3rd grade..4th grade..5th grade..6th grade..7th grade..8th grade and then high school! The house that I brought my little girl home too, then my little boy. the house that my husband and his Dad built..every nail in this house..every inch my husband has personally touched. Will they appreciate the garden that my Mom and I put so much love into, will they know how much it meant to me? Will they sit on the swing on the porch and just listen to nature singing a tune personally written for them =) So many memories here. I know that everything in life is a stepping stone to the next phase, it's just hard for me to think of life somewhere other than here..this house, this land..my paradise. I AM ready for our next phase..it's just going to be hard saying good bye to this one.

My first edition..
Welcome to my first blog. I thought I would start this so you can all follow us on our journey to Texas. I'm hoping that Darren and Zac will do some blogging also so you can hear more than just MY thoughts.
Well, as of now, we are closing on our house at 3:00 Friday June 5th. I'm very excited, yet feeling sad, scared..alot of emotions all at once. I'm excited to start a new life in the unknown, I know that Texas is amazing as a visitor, I am just hoping it holds true as a resident too. My sad feelings I guess are for obvious reasons, mostly because of my wonderful friends and family, my job and all the people I have met through preschool, dance, all the sports the kids have played, neighbors ..& SO MANY MORE! I have recently reconnected with some people that I haven't seen in so many years..and now we are leaving.
I'm scared to try to find a good school for my kids, a good doctor, dentist, chiropractor, church, SCRAPBOOKING STORE! ..oh and a JOB! Everything is going to be new, but I think that is what makes it exciting. Right now I feel like I couldn't possibly find these things as good as I have them here, But I know that we will, I have huge faith and know that the Lord will guide us.
I'm not sure a blog is supposed to be this long soI'll wrap it up..
in a nut shell, we are packing packing packing! and our goal is to be heading South Wednesday, we will be stayng in our motorhome on Heath and Sarah Voss' land untill we find something to rent while we build.
I am hoping to be able to get on Darrens laptop and keep up with "The Chelin Update" on the way down. As of now we will have the same cell #'s. Our new address is 135 PR 1713 Mico, TX 78056 .. did that say TEXAS!? WOWZA =)
We hope to see you all on Saturday at our going away party..here at our house or at Maxx bar =)
Till next timw ya'all.
LOVE!!

in a nut shell, we are packing packing packing! and our goal is to be heading South Wednesday, we will be stayng in our motorhome on Heath and Sarah Voss' land untill we find something to rent while we build.
I am hoping to be able to get on Darrens laptop and keep up with "The Chelin Update" on the way down. As of now we will have the same cell #'s. Our new address is 135 PR 1713 Mico, TX 78056 .. did that say TEXAS!? WOWZA =)
We hope to see you all on Saturday at our going away party..here at our house or at Maxx bar =)
Till next timw ya'all.
LOVE!!
