Another move has been made by the Stewart family. We are now living in Warrensburg Missouri. We are trying to adjust from living is the south for so long. There are hills to see and the humidity is not nearly as bad, you can actually go outside in the middle of the day!! We are still trying to sell our home in Mississippi, so we found a great rental here. It is almost 3 times the size of our other home and the kids are LOVING that. There is room to run! So the story goes:
First off, the packers and the movers decided that they were going to do a "really good job" and finish everything "real quick" for us, so they shoved everything we own in some boxes and finished a day early. We thought that was great at the time, but soon came to find out as we were unpacking that their "real good job" was code for "I am going to throw your crap into a box because I don't care about you or this job". First military move that we are having to claim items, and I am not very happy about it. Some things broken are not replaceable.
Anyway, my best friend in the whole world Angela came to help us paint our house and did an amazing job, so after some tearful goodbyes, we left comforted knowing our house was ok when we left. We were going to do the drive in 2 days but decided as we were driving we needed to just get here so we drove about 12 hrs here and made it to Missouri. We got into our house and it was A MESS! The people just left the house without cleaning it. I was SO SO mad, I wouldn't even let the kids take their shoes off. I worked for 2 full days and cleaned the house and then just waited for our stuff. What we thought would be Monday turned into Wednesday when the truck came with our "carefully loaded" boxes. I have worked my booty off trying to get the house in order and I think I only have about 5 boxes left.! woot woot!!! We really are enjoying Missouri and are very happy to be here. We know we are here for a reason and are excited to see what is in store for us. We love and miss all of our friends in Mississippi though, I am homesick for y'all!!!
The morning we left. Blaze is showing my feelings of leaving. Hence the reason I am not in the picture.
Loaded up and ready to go.
Our new home. We really are loving it.
The backyard. Sorry for the bad picture, it was humid.
There is also an above ground pool that the kids think is so cool!! We (Zach and Rikki)
are quickly finding out that it is not so cool. I had no idea how much you have to do to take care of it. It is fun to jump into on a hot day though. Zach has also found out that it takes a really long time to mow 3 acres so to his delight a tractor or something new will be purchased soon.
We have an open invitation to all our friends and family. Please come stay with us. We are only 1-2 hours from all the church sites and would LOVE to have you stay. We have an extra room this time and we are even looking for a bed!!! ;)
