DONT STEP ON MY BLUE SUEDE SHOES

That's right people- we are in Memphis! We have actually had a really good time in our travels. The kids have all been good and so has the dog. The country is beautiful- as soon as we entered Oklahoma and even in Arkansas we saw lots of flats prairie lands, barns, white cows, and lots and lots of crosses, and lots of "Jesus" stuff- like "Jesus Saves" and the " infant Jesus of Prague seminole" whatever that was. We are in the bible belt for sure. Everyone has been nice and the kids are having a good time seeing all the different things each state has to offer.
As for me- I have my silent tears moments because I just cant grip the fact that I'm not in "Kansas" anymore. Dorothy was right when she said "there's no place like home."
I miss St.George like crazy but I have to be a big girl, "cuz big girls don't cry." We are heading over to see Graceland today so I need to get my butt off the couch and head to the shower.
Even though I don't blog each of you personally- don't think I don't think about you all

IM LEAVING... ON THAT MIDNIGHT TRAIN TO GEORGIA

Yes- we have officially left St.George and boy was it hard! We left Fri night and drove to Flagstaff Az. Yesterday morning we woke up with a phone call from my brother saying he was in Flagstaff for a soccer game, so we spent a little time with him and his cute family before we headed to Albaqurque New Mexiceo. It's pretty here, and the hotels we have been staying in have been pretty amazing. I took some sweet pics of the kids in the lobby this morning but for some reason, they are not down loading fast enough and we are in a hurry to get out of here. Today is our long drive- Oklahoma City. We want to get there in enough time so that I can watch- Desp House Wifes. I doubt we will make it since its already 11 but we will try. Just wanted you to know how we are and where we are. Post you all soon- Love and hugs too.

Bustin A Move!

OMGosh!! Have we been bustin our tails over here! Seriously- I feel like I have been doing some serious manual labor over here! The time is getting closer to us having to move- and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks for ALL the OFFERS of HELP and ALL the MEALS that were offered! I couldn't except the help because I needed to go through stuff and figure out what goes where and if they were even wanted, and I didn't want the meals because we are trying to eat what we can so that all the frozen stuff and what not doesnt go to waste. At any rate- THANK YOU- THANK YOU- THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO HAVE TRIED TO HELP! I love you all and trust me when I say- you will be missed! Blog you all LATER

IT'S THE WAITING GAME- STILL!!!!


Yes- we are STILL waiting to hear when we are moving! The military has not given us a written contract yet, although they have given us a verbal agreement. We did go Altanta this past weekend to look at the area and homes. The house pictured is the one we chose to rent in the suburbs of the ATL. It is 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms - so there will still be plenty of room for all of us to fit into to. It is a brand new home, which really makes me happy because everyhouse we looked at that was nice on the outside was horrible on the inside!

I am so not looking forward to moving and having to deal with all the packing and unpacking! I promised myself that I would be really strong and really supportive when Adam got this job, so please dont make me get all emotional, just give me hugs and tell me we will see eachother soon.

Does this make sense? I just love living here and being around all of you and to think of moving so far is just so sad! So, lets all agree to say "God be with you till we meet again."-( One of my favorite hyms.)

COME ON ALREADY!!!!

I'm sorry to report at this time- we still have not heard weather or not the rental will go through. Part of me doesn't really want to rent out my house for fear of my house being trashed. Nobody cares and loves your home more than you do right? Now, the other half of me is just thinking "come on already, let's get the show on the road." We know we have to move, we accept that fact but... in the last 17 months of trying we have experienced a lot of emotions. We were first excited, then optimistic, then defeated, then comfortable, then drained, then hopeful and now it is almost like a desperate feeling. We need to be in the region that Adam is regional manager over soon. Although an ultimatum has not been giving yet- we both feel that Vita-mix has been so patient with us, that they are going to not put up with it for very much longer. Make sense? So this morning we had some Re-max realtors come through and hopefully they will find us a buyer. I would much rather sell then rent.
Also on the downside of us thinking we had a renter, I had to withdraw from classes at Dixie which was a sad day for me. Taylor said "mom, your a college drop-out huh?". Not what you wanna hear from your 6 year old but what can you do? Once again, Wallick life is on hold!

About Me

My photo
Adam and I have been married now for 14 years! To make a long story short- we met at the end of June, had our first date on July 4th, and were married on Sept 1, 1995. All I have to say, is "it was in his kiss." Adam is now a regional manager with Vita-mix. It has been a great blessing to have him here at home so that he can witness his children doing and saying all the fun things they do. We love where we live, but really do miss living close to both our parents and siblings. We have so much fun when we are all together and I am so lucky to have 4 fun loving wonderful sister in laws,lots of friends and 4 amazing BEST friends to hang out with. I know many of you will find this shocking but one of my best friends is my mother in law! I know that I can call on her at any time just to share a good laugh. She has given me the best thing a woman can give away- her son. I know- grab the tissue, I'll wait. Seriously- I love life and above all I am so grateful to know that MY FAMILY IS FOREVER!
