Finally Back!

It feels wonderful to be back blogging! I know I disappeared for a short while, I didn’t even have a chance to leave a post letting everyone know I would be gone. As most of my reader’s recall, we moved back during the summer. Unfortunately for us, we picked the wrong house to move into! Shortly after moving in things started to go dreadfully wrong. These huge bulges (bumps) started forming everywhere in the floor, we noticed a horrible rotten potato smell, small cracks were starting to form in the walls…we knew something was going on yet every time we spoke to the landlord about the problems she simply shrugged it off as no big deal. Turns out, it was a MAJOR deal. There was definitely a foundation problem, parts of the house were sinking! It finally came down to the point that we simply wanted out of that house. Not long before we were to move out Abby started having breathing problems…so severe that she had to start breathing treatments twice a day! I hated to see my baby go through all of that. I remembered back to the conversation we had the first time a guy came out to look at the floor. He explained that it was being caused by moisture and that yes, there was a possibility of mold. Hubby decided it was time to do a mold test…and it came back positive for black mold! That house was not only falling apart beneath our feet but it was also making my baby sick! My main goal was to get us out of that house as quickly as possible and that meant finding another house (a good house) quickly which isn’t always easy around here. I think this time around luck was on our side. We discovered a sign shortly after it was put out, drove out to the address listed and immediately knew the house was perfect for us. We looked at it the next day and were moved in a week later. With all of this going on, my blog unfortunately had to be put on hold. I had to get us packed, moved, unpacked and our daughter healthy again before I could focus my attention back to my blog. Things are finally settling down and I’m back and ready to start posting again 🙂
