The official topics for the days of the week have been decided. I am going to post 5 topic themes - one for each day of the week. Our daily updates on life in Nebraska can now be found if you click the "The Poenisch Life", and the main post for the day will focus on the topic.
The list of topics are:
Sunday: Coupon/Matchup Sunday
Monday: Recipe Monday
Tuesday: Financial Health Tuesday
Wednesday: Craft Day Wednesday
Thursday: Kid Activity Thursday
Friday: Good Humor Friday, and a chance to reflect on what we are thankful for in the past week and coming days.
Saturday: Contest Kick Off
Enjoy!

Today was a productive day. Isabel is spending some time with her new daycare gal, and adjusting, so mama was home alone today. I got to some cleaning, applied for some jobs and clipped some coupons. I also wrote to some companies :)
Now, I'd like to have sort of a scheduled content for this blog. One idea for each day of the week. Some things I came up with are:
Recipes
Match ups
Money saving ideas
Craft Day
I need a few more ideas....any suggestions?
Once I get settled on some ideas, we'll have a theme for each day and there will be the usual blurb on my family, as well as a focus on some sort of tip or fun idea for the day!
Over and Out,
Danielle

Morning! We've been busy today so far. We awoke early, and have done much! The kitchen is clean, dishes done, clothes are in the dryer. Cat boxes are tended to, and now we are writing compliments (and one complaint) to companies to share the love :)
I have an exciting bit of tidbit of information to share! There is a fantastic family blog, is http://www.santoshawellnessgroup.com that I love, and I have been asked to write a blurb on it about the companies I write! I'm pretty stoked about it, and will keep you posted so you can check it out too!
We had a busy day - we spent the morning cleaning, then spent the afternoon at the children's museum. Iz had a ton of fun - she met some new playmates, and got to play dress up and ride motorcycles. :)
I have been struggling with daily migraines, so this evening was a wash for me, but tomorrow should be eventful. Iz will spend her first full day with her new sitter, and I think she will enjoy it. I will have time to myself, and will be working on organizing and picking up at home!
I have been working on the saving money aspect of this blog - Check out the new tabs, and let me know what you think!

Good Evening!
We are pretty much moved at this point, and enjoying Lincoln so far. My lovely father in law spent a good deal of time hanging all of my photos and things for the wall this weekend so our apartment is begining to look like home!
As for home, our house hasnt yet sold...not so surprising based on the current market. We are hopeful though that it will soon sell, or we can rent it.
We are trying to find a routine here in NE, but havent found one yet. I am applying and interviewing for positions and hope to find one soon.......so my frivolous spending may resume!
Its game night tonight, but I wanted to touch base - I'll be back tonight or tomorrow, and will be working on really getting involved with tracking life here in blogland!

HOLY COW I am not good at keeping up! I feel like life is a thousand miles an hr lately! Since I last blogged, we have moved into our apt, and despite some rocky beginings there, it is now fixed up to our liking. We spent the weekend with Kev's parents, then came back to SD. My family came out to hang out one last time, and then I shipped my husband off to NE.
Isabel is a little confused sometimes - she knows daddy, meeps and pearl are in 'braska, but she doesnt really get that he cant just come over on a whim. She gets upset, but we are getting through :). Isabel and I surprised daddy by making a day trip to Lincoln, NE that we all reallly realllly needed, and now we are on week 2.
Kev is settled in our apt in Lincoln, and enjoying it. He loves to hang out in the pool and get a workout in. Iz and I are just suffering in the heat here in Volga, SD with Java - the remaining cat. She is also having a hard time being away from the other cats.
Tonight, Iz and I are watching movies and eating enchiladas - we plan to paint our toes - the perfect girls night in! We are contemplating driving to Sioux Falls tomorrow to get Isabel's ears pierced. We shall see what tomorrow brings!
We had another showing on the house today, but still no bids....wish us luck!
I have officially put in my resignation at CAPITAL, and my last working day is 9.8.2011 - which is coming up very fast. I do not have employment lined up in NE, but am planning on enrolling in school again....stay tuned for more on that! For now, I must go - strawberry shortcake awaits!

Hello folks :)
It's been some time since I was able to log in and 'blog.' We have been very busy, and had a few little roadbumps in our transition to Nebraska. Because of those, I've not done any C25K or other workouts since the last time I posted I did. I am trying to keep the goal in sight, and to not fret about missing a few days. Life is so crazy busy right now - I need to keep that in mind, and keep working towards the light at the end of the tunnel!
Let me give you a rundown of how our time has been spent lately!
On Wednesday, mama worked. Isabel and papa spent a good deal of time at home, cleaning and packing. They did a great job, and I came home to a clean house and tired family. I was excited to be off of work, as I had a full seven days off all in a row after that. On my way into the house, I noticed that I had a headlamp out on the car, but forgot to tell Kev about it. :)
On Thursday, mama and papa went to pick up the Uhaul. It was epic. We decided last minute that it would be fun to check out the Casino in Watertown, SD. You see, we had to travel an hour north to pick up our Uhaul because Brookings didnt have any. So, we got a sitter and headed North. We had a fun time playing at the casino, then went to pick up the truck. We had good, fast service at the Uhaul rental place and everything went smoothly. That is, until we got on the highway. I was driving in front of Kev because the Uhaul place was not sure that the truck had enough gas to get back to Brookings. I was only going about 55 on hwy 29 (75 mph speed limit) and Kevin was not catching up. After a bit, I got concerned and slowed more. I could see him, but he seemed to be slowing as well. At this point, Kev was planning to get off of the hwy because the truck kept fishtailing, but had not found a spot to do so yet.
Next thing I know, the cab of the uhaul is rocking back and forth, off its tires, the back end swung out and was shooting sparks all over. People were driving off the highway in an effort not to have an accident, two tires came rolling up the hwy past myself. In retrospect, I have no idea how Kev had the stoic mindset to get that truck stable and off the road - I would have crashed into something or rolled without a doubt. It was as if there were no lugnuts at ALL on the truck.
There we sat, on the side of the road, and in complete utter shock at what had just happened.We called the shop we rented from, and they told us we had to call uhaul. We called uhaul, and struggled with comprehension a bit. They couldnt seem to grasp the idea that TWO TIRES FELL OFF the truck. They kept saying, they went flat? Anyhow, they sent out a towtruck, got us in a new truck and sent us on our way. It took hours longer than expected. That afternoon was supposed to be designated for packing the truck, but this cut severly into this.
Kev and his buddy packed as much as they could in the truck while Iz and I napped...rough life, right? Then we ran to the store, and picked up dinner. The in laws came in that night, and we worked and worked and worked, but got everything we needed packed. It was a looooong day!
