So I just feel like rambling today so this may make no sense at all. Who cares? Not me today!

So we moved from Colorado to Oregon at the end of June. I was excited for the move, ready for a change of scenery and to be closer to my family. We only moved because my dad said he would do whatever it takes to get us here. The reason he said that is because we said we could not afford it and we weren't going to move.

So he comes in early June to get my sister and move her out to Oregon...her stuff didn't fill the truck so they took my stuff too...ok I guess we are going...no big deal.

End of June comes and we load up our car with what we will need for 3 weeks, because my moving truck isn't coming for that long. The drive from CO to OR was long...my son puked and his carseat smelled horrible so we had to buy him a new one...no way to clean it when traveling and we were to packed to the brim to save it...

Get to OR. Hubby starts work (he transferred). We are living with my aunt until we find a place to live. My step mom calls and says you have to pay for Chris' (hubby) airfare back to CO and the gas for the moving truck...ALMOST ONE THOUSAND DOLLLARS!! After I told them I couldn't afford it and that's why I wasn't moving in the first place.

So, my hubby is furious I am hurt for being lied to for the umpteenth time...we are about ready to move back to CO. But my uncle says he'll pay for the gas. My in-laws pay for hubby's plane ticket. So we are back on track.

Then we find out this route my hubby's job wants to give him is crap. So now he got a new job...YIPEE...I get to live on the coast...I LOVE THE OCEAN!

My dad and hubby go to CO to get the moving truck and the rest of my belongings. My dad calls Friday night from UTAH and says we don't have the money to get home. I WENT BALLISTIC! WHO WAS HE TO GET MY BELONGINGS AND HUSBAND IN THE MIDDDLE OF NOWHERE KNOWING HE DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET TO OREGON!

So, I go and deposit the $400 I have put aside for a deposit for a place to live in his acct so my husband can get to Oregon.

Then he tells me I owe my uncle the money HE borrowed from him...ERG!

THEN he lectures my hubby on budgeting! Maybe he should listen to his own lecture!

Anyway, it all worked out. We got a place near the ocean, I move Monday...and can't wait. Today we are having a birthday party for my son...he turns 2 on Sunday...
