We moved into our beautiful, new home back in 1991...or something like that! It was Billie Jo's senior year of high school and Earl was still full-time National Guard and away from home all the time. Here we are almost 20 years later, and my house reveals the fact that I coached drill team for a dozen years and was always gone and that I haven't been home to do much of anything except sleep for the last three or four years! Lots of water under the bridge...lots of wonderful experiences--no regrets! Nearly twenty years have passed away so quickly! All of the children are now gone with homes of their own. Earl, Rob and I and the Gunnerson's kitty find ourselves puttering around our 5-bedroom, 1 studio apartment, living/dining room, kitchen, 4-bathroom home. I shouldn't be puttering! I should be plowing! That's right...plowing!! Plowing a path through my house, so we can actually live here instead of camping at nights. My resolution is made and I have begun -- the plowing! So, check back in on me in a few months and see if I've been able to stick to my plan! I always INSIST that Earl get right outside to the snow so we have a clear, clean path out of here. I haven't been as insistent with myself, however. I really can't put the plow on the front of the broom and clear a clean, smooth path. I must sort and sift and throw away and rearrange and on and on. It takes a long time, because I easily get lost in the memories! If you miss me in the blogging world....you'll know where I am. PLOWING OUT!!! Wish me good luck!

Good-luck with the plowing! I hope that you are having more success than I am! Every time I think that I am turning the corner, I find MORE STUFF to put away! I can't believe that I have filled up five garbage bags full of stuff for DI. I mean I just moved that stuff here from Vegas! Maybe by the time we are both finished we can furnish our own DI!
I always love reading your posts. So insightful, so much thought and so much truth! Thanks for sharing. I love the pictures of the kids helping feed- why is that so much fun? I loved it and Duncan loves it! It is a daily question if we can go help Grandpa feed. Such fun memories and bonds created on those cold winter days in the fields... Goodluck plowing!!!
Well hopefully I can be there to help and the plowing will be much more fun with two of us!!! It will be hard for you, with so many things, but it will be good and you will feel wonderful! I love you and and so grateful for your love and support for me!
It will feel so ood one the plowing begins you will get a rush that will make you want to keep going and going and going. I have any machines or cleaning agents that you may need. Just give me a call and I will buz on down to assist in the "plowing". However if you are like me, it is easier to do it all by yourself and the way you would like it. I am about to plow out that storage unit we pay for and build my own storage unit!!! Just holding out til spring:) But please don't neglect the blog... it is the only way I see my kids in pictures!
Good luck! I think it's so cool that you posted this on your blog - a sign of true commitment. I know you will do it...whatever you do, you perform it flawlessly. Can't wait to see your progress :)
I would grab my shovel and come over to help, but I know that you like to "plow out" by yourself. I can't wait to see your progress.
