Merry Christmas

Christmas was fantastic. The gifts under the tree are from us and the gifts near the kitchen are from Santa.

Savannah woke up early but kept in the room quietly waking mommy up. When she came into the living room, she was very excited to see her new kitchen from Santa.


Savannah had a whole bunch of fun and thanks everyone for their gifts and thoughts. It was funny that during the gift opening, Savannah put her shirt on and then somehow it went missing again. She is a funny girl. Savannah had some awesome gifts too, some are: a nintendo ds, a leapster, some games for both, some new shoes, some clothes and other toys. She has had a ton of fun playing with them all (I have had fun playing with them too).

I also want to thank everyone for their gifts and thoughts.

A Nice Drive - Victoria, BC to Bellingham, WA

Magically life seemed much easier and much more realistic when I crossed over the border Sunday evening.

So the U-Haul was picked up and packed Sunday morning. After my landlord came by and looked around the place and picked up the keys, we were off with Savannah's fish (she told me to remember Ariel her Beta fish came too. Ariel was in her bowl inside a cracker box). The drive from the house to the B.C. Ferry was pretty easy. It took about 30 minutes to get down to the terminal. We were there two hours early. The ferry was delayed for four hours due to the wind or the laziness of the Captain. Yeah have I ever mentioned that this stuff happens to me all the time, things are always delayed or canceled. Do not ever travel with me.

At 5 pm (when we were suppose to leave at 1 pm) our ferry set sail. It was very rocky and I was not happy. I do not like boats. But we had a few things to do... and then it was over and I was driving on the 17 Freeway in British Columbia. The drive was really pretty, even though it was dark. It was especially pretty and I was super excited when I saw the Border Crossing and the Duty Free Shop. We had no issue going over the border, the agent actually welcomed us back and said it was good to have us. Oddly, I think he was flirting.

From the Border to Bellingham was a short little ride, it took about 30 minutes. We stayed at a hotel that is seriously in front of the apartment so Monday morning it was very easy to do all the apartment stuff. We have a cute apartment that we moved into on Tuesday. Now obviously you all know its Wednesday and we are getting our phone, cable and internet on. Since this is a public blog I cannot give out our information but you can email me and I can send you the information.

It was really amazing to change the license plates over here in Washington. There is a grocery store called Cost Cutters that has a licensing department inside. So yeah you can grab your groceries, your rental videos, your lotto tickets and license your vehicle all at the same place.
I also bought a new cellphone. It is really sweet.

I just have to change my license over to Washington, I think that is the last major thing I have to do. I have some pictures I am going to download but for now, I will leave you with some other pictures....






Savannah being a ballerina. This was from her recital, they are being like the wind... very calm and "floating".















Here is Savannah with Santa Claus. He was from Nova Scotia and a really cool Santa. He told Savannah and I to "Have a Merry Christmas, eh!" It was really funny.















And lastly for now is a picture that was taken on Tuesday which was four days after I went and had it done. **GRANDMA you might not want to look** but I hope everyone enjoys it and if they have any comments they send them. I would love to know what you guys thing!! I for one love it, and have found a shop down the street so I can get a few more.








Thats right a red maple leaf tattoo. The idea was to make it look like a stamp and when I go to Vancouver for a day or a weekend I am going to get crossing hockey sticks in the background and a hockey puck in the middle.





I plan on taking pictures around the apartment, when the rain lets up. Since we are based on a 55 acre piece of land. Our apartment offers so much more then normal apartments. The apartment has plots of land that you can plant on, an apple tree orchird, a gym, a pool, a jacuzzi and many trails to walk around the area. After the internet is hooked up (since I am borrowing the neighbors), I will be able to blog more and show some scenery.

Lots of Love,
Leanne

Sleep is overrated

Being that it is almost 4:30am PST and I am not sleeping must mean there is something on my mind. Well of course there is, since when have I been the relaxing type?

Few things going on this week. The house is going to be in escrow as of, well, as of now or a few days ago. I just received an email (that was sent about 12 hours ago), that tells me to sign. Selling for way under what the house is worth, but at this point. Whatever.

Savannah has a ballet recital today. Seriously I dont want to go after how she was acting today. But I have too. I do not know why she does some of the things that she does, but if this is the stage she is in.... she better grow out of it. Apparently she feels she is old enough to not hold a hand when crossing a street, with me thats a big negative. She has to, it's her duty to as my child. She also feels it is appropriate to throw fits when things aren't going her way. On this part, I can't blame her, I mean when dont want to do something I want to crawl on the ground and through a fit. But I just ignore that feeling. She spent 2 hours of her day in time out. She doesnt like staring at the wall anymore. Yes my time outs are more then... sit in this chair ... mine are sit in this chair with your hands grasping each other on the back of your neck and keep your knees against the wall. Sadly, I have a a child who squirms.

Meanie Mommy, was my name today and I really didnt care. Except when I try to go to sleep and I feel bad about her getting punished. Thats what I get.

Time to go surf the net and find something not so interesting to help lull me into some sort of sleep.

Always A Pleasure,
Leanne

Snow and Moving

We had our first official snow. Savannah had a blast, and I got some awesome video. I figured a lot of things out while Savannah and I were outside playing in the snow. I know that I have, and as much as I dislike shopping, really mean have to get some new shoes and pants. And that Savannah absolutely needed a snow suit. So after I had frost bite on my feet because I like to wear canvas slip on shoes in the snow and after Savannah's little butt was cold from wearing sweat pants to sit in the snow and slide down a slide, we changed and went shopping. Savannah picked out some really cute baby blue camouflage shoes that go past her ankles and a cute purple snow suit. She looks like she has layers of clothes on with her new purple snow suit. As for me, I purchased some really cute black boots that are water proof and go past the ankle. I didn't find any pants that I liked.

Of course after going and getting these snow things, it hasn't snowed. I want it to snow but after we move. The 20th of December would be good. I have given our notice, and have the utilities scheduled to be turned off on December 17. After the storms we have had (and seeing the number of blankets I have to use on my bed), I am glad about my decision to get a small apartment then to find another house.

Savannah is excited about the move now... she was quite upset because her "friend" (her name is Julia) lives next door, but as soon as I told her there was a Target, she was excited. The kid must miss Target as much as I do. She is ready to move, she even packed her toys in a box. Of course I have acquired a few things since we have been here. So I am renting a small U-Haul.

Life just seems to keep on moving. Savannah has a ballet recital on Wednesday. I will try and get some pictures. I picked up Savannah's Christmas pictures yesterday so I am spending time getting those together. I am sending the Christmas Cards after we move. And I am asking, since I have received a few emails about Christmas gifts, that if you are going to send them to either send them where they get here before the 14th or wait until after we move and get the new address. The second would probably be better because it can save you some cash keeping things sent in the States. Or just wait until after Christmas and send them. <--- Savannah wont like that one but too bad.

So things are going well, we just keep going. I always welcome comments or emails!

Love You All and Miss You All,
Leanne

The Past Month

Hello All~
I know it has been almost a whole month since I last checked in. Things are fine, they just got a little out of hand and I had to take some time to figure out our next step.

Halloween was a blast. Savannah was Ariel, the little mermaid, with sparkly shoes. She had quiet morning doing chores and getting ready for a Halloween party. There were about 30 plus kids from around the area that attended the party that was for the younger ages (up to 6 years old) which was quite nice to see. There were different activities which Savannah won a ton of prizes and a haunted house. There was also a bounce house. She spent a good 35 minutes jumping around. After the afternoon party, Savannah decided she wanted to go to a trick or treat fair at the mall. This was outrageously cute. Kids and adults alike had a blast. The kids more so at 6pm when they got a huge goodie bag. On the way home Savannah trick or treated down the block. The people on the block were in love with Savannah. I don't think I have heard so many "Your daughter should be in films". After it started to rain Savannah wanted to come home, so we did (it was about 7-ish). We ended up watching cartoons with hot cocoa and handing out candy to the kids.

Savannah's birthday was the next big event. She wanted to hang out at home and have pizza for dinner, which was perfectly fine with me. I made her a cake and gave her the gifts I purchased for her. She enjoyed herself, just her and mommy. The next weekend (November 10) was her actual party. We had it at Build-A-Bear, or as I call it get a carcass stuffed. She had 6 friends that came and they all had a great time. Everyone got a "stuffy" and played some games. Then had cupcakes. I miss Chuck E Cheese parties, which is sad to admit. Savannah received some great gifts from her friends which she is truly grateful for.

The rest of the month has been filled with running around trying to get things together and thinking. Apparently the government is taking its sweet time on getting the work visa done, so Savannah is not in kindergarten. She is in a school setting once a week but she needs to get into real school, for mommy's sake. So I have decided that since the Visa is not done we are going to move back to the states. Not California - so no getting your hopes up. We are going to rent a nice little apartment in Bellingham, Washington. Then we are close to the border for if the Visa ever gets done. The move is not only to get Savannah into school but so I can get a job. I have been so bored sitting around waiting that I have started to get unglued at the hinges. So right after Christmas and before the New Year we are going to make our way down to Bellingham. Look for updated address cards.

I know its horrible, and I feel like a lousy parent to move her again but seriously the Visa was suppose to be done and things were suppose to be on their way. I feel right now that I cannot truly live, I just dwell. Savannah argued with me a bit, since she is starting to really love the weather up here (frost the past week... and I mean frost as in 1/2 inch on the windshield). She really enjoys the cold, so I had to let her know that the storms that we see pass over us (sometimes not hitting us) go there. And yes there is frost and occasional snow.

Speaking of the weather. It has been around 32 degrees Fahrenheit and below lately, only getting into the mid 40's during the day. God I love the weather. I will take freezing temperatures over heat any day of the week. Now this house, which I have complained about, is horrible. All I have to say is at least the heater works... kinda. The oven doesn't work (landlord said it was fixed and its not), the heater has two thermostats on it (using one only gets to 70 degrees, using two gets you a sauna house) and the windows like to let some cold air in. So yeah I will be happy to get out of here into an apartment that is well taken care of according to the people in the office. These are new apartments, and they allow cats (which my landlord wont allow).

So that is the update for the past month. Today (since it is 5:30am) we are scheduled to have snow... or at least some sort of slushy rain. I will be posting pictures soon. Maybe later today if I can actually get to sleep at some point.

I miss you all and hope everyone is doing well. I have some wonderful Christmas cards so send me your address so I can send you one of them. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Hugs and Kisses,
Leanne

Savannah's birthday is coming up, had issues figuring out what was going to happen but we figured it out. She invited a few friends to a Build- A - Bear party. She is excited, can't blame her. I am trying to figure out what to get her, and today I think I figured it out. I want to buy a kitten. There was one at the pet store this morning and it is on my mind to get it for her. Well not just for her but for us. I think we need a moving around pet, not a stationary pet (fish). Contemplating the issue. Further discussion is needed, like with the landlord.

WEather has been great, we were having breakfast the other day and found ourselves awwing over a rainbow. So I grabbed the camera and took some pictures.
It's a beautiful picture. For some reason it pulls at my heartstrings. I guess it has me feeling that we are ment here. Even with the one inch of frost on the roofs and yards this morning. Though I do miss everyone, I know we are ment to be here, ment to be in a slower and less aggressive culture.

Well it is time to make a snake out of papertowel and toilet paper rolls. Gotta love art!
Leanne!

Haven't Posted in 10 Days

So I have not posted in 10 days. That cold Savannah had last time, well for me turned into a bit of a throat infection. At least I brought some antibiotics with me. I am better now. Savannah has been in and out of fevers, I think due to her allergies but with medication and her nebulizer things are great now. We are both doing well.

Savannah's birthday party was planned this week. We invited 7 of her friends and we are going to build a bear the weekend after her birthday. She and her friends will build creatures and dress them for under a price limit I have prearranged and they get to do goofy stuff. I am going to order some cup cakes to give the kids as they leave, since no food or drink is allowed in build a bear. I think this will be cute and quick. It will last about an hour. After build a bear we (the family) is going to Macaroni Grill, because Savannah likes it there. I just have to go birthday shopping.


So since the weather has been crazy this week with windstorms and massive rain, I have decided today I am going to buy myself a pair of pants and a jacket. Savannah is getting an umbrella. Smart me didnt bring a pair of pants because hummm lets see, I dont own a pair. Yeah smart on my part here huh. So that is our plan for today. As for tomorrow (saturday) we are hanging out at home for a delivery.

But I thought I would update since I had the moments and was feeling better. Much love and we miss you guys so much!

Always,
Leanne

Lots of sun, little heat

We started this week with Canadian Thanksgiving. Savannah and I stayed home all day and hung out in our pj's watching television and playing video games. It was fun. The weather has been bright and sunny but not hot, or even warm. It has been a bit cold and basically anytime you step outside shoes and sweaters are required. Tuesday Savannah had a cold, so we stayed in again. She was being lazy and I was cleaning the house and doing the laundry, basic mommy duties. It was nice though, not rushing anywhere. Yesterday, Wednesday, was a rush rush day. Savannah had ballet practice in the afternoon and we waited for UPS to bring her shoes which were shipped Monday of last week. Finally right before we were getting out to go to practice, the shoes arrived. (UPS SUCKS UP HERE~ GO away BROWN). Grrr them. Today we are up early. Since it the sun doesnt seem to be rising until 7:30am Savannah seems to sleep in a bit which is nice. So yeah today we were up at 6:30am to get Savannah ready for her class at 9 am. We have to leave the house around 8:30am because well we walk everywhere.

Today I have a few things to do, not sure if I am going to do them with Savannah or while Savannah is in class. I have to go grocery shopping so it would be dropp Savannah off at her class and then hall ass over to the grocery store to get the shopping done and bring it home real quick, put it away and then head back down to pick Savannah up. Kind of sounds like a plan. I am slowly but surely taking pictures of the area around us. I just have to make sure it doesnt rain on me because when it rains, it's kinda cold.

Things are going well. I am going to be working more on my books and poetry. Savannah's is still being a kid. She has just learned how to draw a heart. <3 They are so cute!

Have a wonderful day!

We are going along....

Hey Everyone,
I am finally getting things settled enough to get on the net more then once every few days. Things are starting to come together. We had a rough beginning with everything, omg was it terrible. The house is now getting together nicely and Savannah and I are getting tones of stuff done.

I have not put Miss Savannah in kindergarten yet, but she is in a small Canadian class that will help her to adjust to the kindergarten they have. It is doing great things with her and certainly is getting her ready, and getting her use to the other children. Savannah is also in a dance class, it is a ballet class on Wednesday's. She loves it, so far.

The house has some furniture in it. I haven't found a cute couch yet but hey it takes time. I do though have an awesome queen size bed and 27" tele in the bedroom. I have a cute table and chairs and oh the table the tele is sitting on. It is really awesome.

The weather is awesome. It gets "hot" yeah like 70. Hot my ass, damn Canadians. But it rains every other day or so and it gets nice and chilly outside. We are always looking dorky with our sweatshirts and flip flops on.

We seriously live a block away from the mall, so we take regular walks there to get a bit of a workout. I have dropped a few pounds already. I have not found a car yet and I am really not looking, I enjoy the walk and everything is in walking distance.

We had a hell of a wind storm the other night, it was FREAKIN' awesome! The wind was blowing so hard my trashcans moved from one side of the porch to the other. It was quite excellent.

Speaking of quite excellent, we have a new member of the family. Savannah picked out a beta fish that is red and purple. He has a little tank that is purple and his name is Ariel. Yeah his name is Ariel, go figure.

So this is our first pet for now. I saw a beautiful cat today. I wanted to buy him but I am going to wait.

But we are doing well and things are lookin' up. We miss everyone and hope you are all doing well!

Trying to Stay Warm,
Leanne and Savannah

Welcome Home

New house, some new stuff and sadly a new virus. I think we caught a bug on the airplane, because Savannah was ill yesterday and I was sick today. Still feel a little on the feverish side but at least I am moving around. We are getting our routine going. The phone is hooked up and all the utilities are on and things are working now. Our bodies are still getting use to the different flora and stuff up here. Savannah has a nice rash on her cheek and had an allergic reaction to some wild blackberries that our neighbor showed her. She is doing great though. We both are. Attitudes are getting better and Savannah has started to eat meat. I guess moving to Canada has made her more carniverous. The weather has been reall nice, rains every few days and is sunny the rest of the time. Still gotta wear a sweater.

I went and bought a bed and a television which are being devliered on Thursday. We are going to look for more furniture this coming week. We are very happy to be out here. I think this was one of the best things we have, well I have choosen to do. The atmosphere up here is great, no one in a great rush and all the people are friendly. I have not been flipped off at all :)

It is still kinda hard, we do miss everyone and have an open invitation for anyone to visit. In a few months we will begin the process of looking for a house to buy. I have also spoken to a few publishers, but that will be an ongoing process.

Have a wonderful Day,
Leanne and Savannah

Issue after Issue

No one said traveling with a child is easy. But then traveling on the airlines is not easy either. Savannah and I were at the airport at 6am Wednesday for our flight. We got on and went from Orange County to Seattle. We arrived about noon/12:30 and took a few trams to get to our connecting flight. Since the flight didnt board until 3:10pm we figured we would get something to eat and of course get Savannah a T-shirt for the city. We were back at the gate at 1:40 and we sat. When 3:10 came and went I got a little antsy. I asked the lady at the counter and she said that the flight was delayed. She made an annoucement a little later letting us know that the flight from Victoria was running late. She then made another annoucement every 20-30 minutes. At 5:30 she let us know that all the 500 design airplanes were grounded and we were not going out. So we proceeded to take three tram rides to the C area of the airport to stand in a neverending line. Finally when we got up to the counter, Savannah was asleep, and I was told that there were no longer any hotel rooms except at a hotel 6 type hotel. It probably rented by the hour. I wouldnt know since I was just interested in getting the hell out of there. Reservations for Friday were given to us since I refuse to fly at 7 am or 11pm with Savannah. It just wasnt fair to her.
I stayed with a friend up in Tacoma and had a pretty good time, considering the lady I talked to at the airport Wednesday decided to give Savannah a flight Friday and not me. So I had to be on the phone with them, then I proceeded to call Horizon Customer Service. Yeah we couldnt call and complain until after our trip was over. So I have to pick up a cell today and call these people back and let them know how STUPID and INCONSIDERATE they are.
So friday we get up at 5:45 to catch our 9:00 flight to Vancouver. Then we proceeded to walk a million kilometers (see learning a bit of canadian already eh) to our connecting flight to Victoria. Savannah got a really cool shirt from Vancouver. We ended up getting our flight and exchanging some money to the Canadian Monopoly money. It is actually pretty interested.
With Savannah and the lugage we got the rental car and came to the hotel. Then we went to see my friend's kid Nic, who gave us our house key and showed us where it is. Yeah.. I am talking to the land lord today.
See the house was suppose to be complete by time we got here on Wednesday even though we paid for it September 1st. It is not finished. And it is filthy. So my friends husband, Savannah and I are going to deal with this issue today. If it is not resolved and cannot be resolved before I check out of the hotel Monday then I am going to get the deposit and money back and figure things out from there. Either find a cute little apartment (which most of you know I am against apartments) or just cut my loses go home and regroup. Maybe move up to Seattle/Tacoma/Portland area. But I will figure this out of course in a timly manner and see what will best fit Savannah and I.
I dislike it to get to this part but things just arent what they should be right now and I am overwhelmed with the issues that are coming up. I mean seriously the house should have been finished. But alas it is time to take Savannah to breakfast.
I wish I could have given happy news,
Leanne

The ins and outs of Selling a House

The past few weeks have been drastically busy. I never knew what went into a house being sold but hey I now know. It seems that everyday before the contigencies are taken off your house some "inspection" has to take place. First termites, then house insepection, appraisal, the people buying your home. It is ridiculous. Then it comes to the contigencies, dependin gon the length of your escrow depends on when the contingencies get lifted. Since ours is about a 30 day escrow they have 17 days to lift the contigencies. The contigencies their demands on the house. What they want done before they will actually settle for this house. Since our house is going for a very low amont (rock bottom) we are not going to be doing a lot of this shit they want done, if they want anything done. There is one thing that I have to fix which is in Savannah's bathroom. Other then that ... no! So dealing with Realtors is kind of like dealing with a dick attorney. Not my attorney of course because she is freakin awesome. But some dumb ass think he knows it all attorney. The realtor representing the buyers is a stupid ass. He doesnt understand that I do not want nor have to deal with him, he is to go through the realtor we are paying.

So yeah selling a house is a big pain. Other then the house things are going fine. Savannah is packed, I bought her some new lugage and cute little tags for her name on them. I packed all her clothes except for 8 outfits and her dress for court in 6 days. All I have to do is pack my second lugage with clothes or whatever I am going to put in there and then pack our carry ons and personal items. Sadly I have out what we are going to wear the day of our flight and have bought Savannah some special things for her flight (basically to keep her quiet). I am going to meet up with some of my friends Sunday and Monday. I have been meeting up with some of Savannah's friends too! We are both really anxious.

I set up reservations at a hotel for two nights, just so I have time to grab a bed and a few things needed to live in the house. Plus my phone doesnt get installed until the day after we get in. Giving us time to run to the store before we head to the house. We have things to do the first couple of days up there.

I am ready to get lost. I am ready to see some other part of the world. And I am ready to get away from the drama. I met a guy who was vacationing down here from where we are moving. He is excited to see us again and also ready to kind of show us around. There are some excellent parks and rec centers. And Savannah is ready to start school. She asks everyday! It just wasnt worth putting her in school for three-ish weeks down here.

But alas it is time to get her ready for the day and get myself ready. I will post pictures of our trip on the plane and of our time in our new area.

Oh the next 6 days will be rough,
Leanne

Getting Out of the Neighborhood

Hello People of the Internet!
Well it has been a very busy week and we have some exciting news. Last Wednesday the 15th of August, we put the house on the market. We started having people look at the house the following day and a week later we had our bids. Thats right as of August 24 we are in Escrow. Now they have 17 days to back out of the deal and 13 days after that we are done. 29 days left before we say good bye to the house. Well Savannah and I before then. We have found a rental house for the time we need to look for the area and the right house for us. It is good that we are renting after this hell hole we live in now. I need somewhere to rest and if something goes wrong not be financially responsible. Renting does have its perks. We are almost done getting out our furniture. I love craigslist.com it is a fantastic website. So many people looking for things and so many people selling things. I swear you can find anything on that site. Ok so what else is going on? Nothing. The house was a very important part and then the furniture. Oh I did talk to a mover and got a quote about moving our personal belongings. It was about a dollar a pound. We have about 2500, or so this guy says. Well that is about it for right now, I have a few things to do before taking off for the day to clean out the storage area. I will update more later.
Always,
Leanne

Dates Have Changed

So for most of you, hopefully all of you, already know that our date to move has been moved. Instead of leaving yesterday Savannah and I are leaving September 12, the day after the adoption. Yes she will be starting school late but at least we dont have to stay in a hotel. That's right we have a house. We are renting a four bedroom, 2.5 bath, and it has appliances already. We dont have to worry about a washer or dryer because those are part of our appliances along with a fridge, stove/oven and dishwasher.

Wednesday our house went up for sale and we had our first visitors. Savannah is doing well with the adjustment of people coming into the house and looking around. She wants to show everyone - everything. Things are working out well.

Savannah and I are excited to be going and we are definetly ready to get settled before the winter hits.

Alright there is the update for today,
Leanne

The House

Life has definetly had it's ups and downs this past week. From having issues with the little ones passport to actually receiving everything in a reasonable amount of time. I have finally put together a box of things for Savannah (booster seat, clothes, misc toys) so she will have things of her own up there. We have started to decide what we are and are not packing.

I have no idea why life seems to come rushing at me at 1:30 am. But I was in bed watching Savannah sleep for 2 1/2 hours until I decided I would just come put something up. I am excited and scared at the same time. I want to leave, start a new life and leave the complications behind. Leave the pain behind and start new with Savannah. I want to keep her happy and thriving. I am scared because of course I am leaving all my family and friends. I am going to a new place with new people. I want our life to be less complicated. Less anger filled. More productive!

I know there are people who are so excited for us, glad we are starting out fresh and in a new place. And others who are just glad we wont be around anymore. It doesnt bother me, anymore. I am no longer waiting for people to change their minds and come into our lives. It is not worth it for Savannah and I to wait in the wings for someone, to stop our lives for what we want. Savannah is excited, she tells me everyday. She also asks everyday if it's time for our plane ride yet. 8 days. 8 days today.

I will miss you guys. I will miss you all and I do hope that you either write or visit us. The door is always open, even though we wont be so close to the beach. I think people need to do things to grow and learn. I have moved away in my life before Savannah, across the country then across the world. It was a great learning experience. And I learned a lot about myself and others around me. Then again that was when I was 20. Not so long ago but it does seem like a lifetime.

At least we know that we can always come to vacation, since we know the place. I do plan on coming down with Savannah next summer probably June/July to visit. That's less then a year away.

8 days, Eight days. Thats what we have left, a little over a week....

Starting Up

Since Savannah and I are suppose to be moving soon, I decided I would start a blog to keep family and friends up to date with what we are doing. I hope you all like it and keep up with our life as we want to keep up with you guys!

So I will be doing at least a weekly update and hopefully I will have time to do a few more updates and changes around the area. We will also keep our myspaces up to date.

www.myspace.com/savsmom - this is mine
www.myspace.com/princesssav - this is Savannah's

So time to fix this up and get things done.

Always a Pleasure,
Leanne
