So what do you think? Should I be pitied?

Just look what we have been subjected too...

Fireworks and wrestlings with cousins



Yeah, OK so the McKee family is a little weird. But hey, all I can say is weird is FUN.




My boys have mastered the art of canoeing and kayaking in the backyard. And yes, this is the backyard in the literal sense. The pond is just 20 feet from the house.


The flooding here has been crazy. In the 7 years I have lived here, I've NEVER seen this. I was a more than a little intimidated driving through a river.


I love String Lake. What a hassle just trying to get all the stuff together and get out the door, but it is SO worth it.




And we are getting quality time with cousins and babies.


So, yeah, we don't have a job, and yes we are living in family's basement. Aren't we the luckiest people in the whole world???!!!

Hello Idaho!

So I am alive! We left at exactly 4 am on June 30th, drove 14 hours, and 10 hours the next day. Despite the fact that Sylas broke the portable DVD player on the first day, and 6 people being enclosed in a 5' by 10' space for 24 hours, the kids did GREAT! We have awesome travelers. We are now in beautiful Idaho, where it isn't humid, I feel fresh and dry all the time, and the temperatures are mostly in the low 80's. The kids have spent the majority of their time in the backyard, canoeing and kayaking in the pond, and exploring. I am on constant 24 hour alert to keep Sylas from drowning (I've already pulled him from the pond at Lohn's brothers house.) But we are happy and all is going well. Heres an update on the job interviews Lohn recently had.

Aramark- South Bend, IN- He was offered the job for 35,000 a year. Nuf said.
Ally- Dallas TX- Also offered the job, however the pay is lower than we would like, and while we are holding out for a better paying job, this one is still a possibility.
Suntrust Bank- Atlanta Georgia- I am still grieving over this one. Lohn would have loved this job, but we just found out yesterday that this one is a no go.
Windhaven insurance- Miami FL- Ever since they asked Lohn what kind of compensation package he was looking for we haven't heard back from them. I am trying to convince myself that is okay because I really don't want to live in Miami.

So I guess we are back at square one. While Lohn hates the job search and interview process, we are happy and we consider it a blessing to be among family. I will post pictures soon!
