House hunting and keeping

House hunting is not my favorite thing. I really hope i only have to go through this once... maybe twice... ever! The really bad part is that i have barely even begun the search and the worst part will be actually doing all the work to get into one. I have faith that the work will be worth it in the long run. after 7 years of renting other peoples homes it would be amazing to finally get into a home of our own. To be able to tell the kids they can run and jump without worrying about downstairs neighbors. To be able to have pets without landlord permission or do be able to build things and paint things and not worry about the fact that its not my house. To be able to plant a garden or flower beds. Honestly i cant wait for the day. we have found the house of our dreams and its a fingertip length away. We can only hope and pray that things work out and we get it.


        Things have been going well around the hatch household. Josh has been working on the long wall move in the coal mine so he worked alot of days and alot of hours but thankfully its all over and done with. The kids and I have spent most of our time cooped up in the house doing schoolwork or cleaning. Ive been trying to make my way through my sewing and mending pile and its nice to have so many quilts and projects done. the weather has been horrible until this last week and the snow didn't do us any favors. after getting over a foot of snow last week, this week the temperature decided to jump to the 50's and melted it all. although the warm weather was a nice change, it didn't benefit us for the fact that everything has melted and our river is now flooding half the county and many people are stuck in their homes and some have been evacuated.

        Our anniversary was a few weeks ago and our friend Connie was amazing enough to come stay with our kids overnight so we could run away. We went to Chico Hot Springs in Pray, MT and it was so much fun! We got massages, swam in the hot springs, ate at a 5 star restaurant and had the best time. can't wait to go back. We also added another character to the family. A small brown ferret we've named Farrah. She's extremely entertaining and we all love her.
