Move In and Two New Additions To The Family

Finally Moved In

Settling In

We are all moved in and still emptying out boxes. You never know how much you have until you move. We had all boxes and now we have a bed, and dining room set for right now. The next on the list is a living room set and tv's.

We are getting things finally arrange in the apartment but I keep finding boxes for the kitchen and trying to get the boxes in the right area. That is what has been the most time consuming and also not being home a lot either.

Now that all the busyness is over I hope we can now focus on the apartment and finish getting it set up. And get my office setup so I can work on my business and finally get rolling on it.

Back to normalcy

We have our own place

It is so nice that we have our own place once again. We have room to move around in. Trust me I am so grateful at out time at the hotel but it is nice not to have kids running up and down the halls, screaming, yelling, cussing, all of the things that you could imagine. Being able to watch what you want and not having to watch what is available to you. But I am still grateful because we had a roof over our heads and food to eat and now we will appreciate what we have more then ever now.

We will never take anything for granted ever again. If we have learn a lesson out of this that is don't take anything for granted because you just never know what could happen. So count your blessings for what you have and who you have to share it with. That is what is most important. Material things can be replaced but life can never be replaced.

We have many things to be replaced that can't even be replaced like photo albums, year books, dishes, glasswear, and my husband traveled this world twice in twenty-five years of being in the military and he lost a lot of things that can never be replaced. I am going to do my best to get something similar to what he lost.

Two new additions

Our two additions to our family is Charlie and Chris and they look like the kittens in the image above. I will post images in the weeks to come. They are cute and adorable but they are also very loving kittens. In all the years that I have had cats these kittens are very unique in terms they give kisses on the face hands, neck, and arms along with teething.

It is exciting to have our family complete. Now we have three girls and one boy. And they are just like 2 legged kids. They are our children and they act like children. They do listen and understand what I am saying to them. I just have an understanding for them. They help me stay calm in so many ways. They keep me young too.

It has been a few years that I lost my cat of 15 years and now I am beyond ready to have another kitten or kittens to open my heart to. All of my kids are rescues, Tukker came to us through an organization that helps the disabled and veterans get service dogs for their disabilities. Sadie came to us through a rescue who was rescuing dogs from a high kill shelter. And the kittens came from a foster home.

Foster homes for pets

Yes dogs and cats have foster homes just like kids do. But in this case these foster homes take on these animals when there is too many in the shelters. I don't know a whole a lot of information but you can get in touch with your local shelter and see if they are looking for foster homes for the overflow of animals.

I will say this it is hard to not get attached to them but you have to look at it this way you are saving their lives from being killed unnecessary. And you are giving them a second chance for a forever home.

It is most important to adopt a dog or cat young or old or even special needs but either way don't spend thousands of dollars on a dog or cat please adopt you will giving them a second chance at a loving home.

Conclusion

We have had a lot newest in our lives in the past month. Having a new apartment and having the two additions with the kittens. We are happy all the extra stress is off of us now and we can get back to some normalcy.

We are getting ready for the holidays that are once upon us. I can't believe we are going to celebrating Thanksgiving. The year has gone by so fast, it just seem that we were celebrating Memorial Day and the start of summer. That is for another blog. We are happy now and we are together and that is all that counts.

I can't say this enough we can't take anything for granted no matter what it is. If you lose many material things remember they can be replaced even though the sentimental value to you. Always remember something else you will always have your memories and no one can take that away from you.

Even though what you get to replace the item that you have lost may not be the same but they can be similar and possibly even better. So please never worry about what you have lost but be grateful for what you have gained. That is an important lesson that we all have to learn in one form or another.
