I apologize for the lack of excitement so far on this new venture. I am still working out the kinks to my new computer. My old computer and my computer at work are a little outdated, so I am still trying to figure out the things that work best, fastest and easiest on my new computer. I also have not had a whole lot of time lately to play, so that delays things a bit for me. This post will have no pictures, but I wanted to give everyone a little update on our little family.
Connor is growing. Physically, mentally, emotionally, growing. He will be 20 months old on the 20th. He is saying a bunch of new words and even making little 2 word sentences like "want more", "my juice", and "hi birdie". When you ask him to say please, he throws a little fit, but if he really wants something he will say it without you asking. He is playing this new little game where he sits as still as he can and pretends to not see or hear you. Its really freaking adorable. He is going to be starting daycare soon as well. It is an exciting time in little Connor's life!
Daniel just graduated the 2nd grade and is now a big 3rd grader. He is doing so well right now and I am so thankful that his life has become more stable than ever and that Allen has taken on such a huge role in his life. He is doing awesome in karate and I think that we have found the one sport in which he can participate in and love and succeed at. Its summertime, so he is in camp. This week he is going to the camp at the FSU Reservation. He has sailed, kayaked, canoed, climbled a "rock" wall, and swam swam swam. He is really enjoying it and is already asking to go back next summer. Yesterday, he sang to me all of the camp songs that he has learned. Very exciting!
Allen is working hard as usual. He handles his abnormal and totally unpredictable schedule way better than I do. He has been pretty lucky in getting at least 1 weekend day off every week almost for the last couple of months. This weekend he is taking the whole weekend off to celebrate my birthday with me and the boys.
I am busy busy. I go to a Zumba class 2 nights a week and I am in love. I haven't danced since high school and I think this is going to be the closest that I will get as an adult. It feel into my lap at the perfect time... right after I was finished with school. Still working and being a mama, too.
Big news is that we are moving. We want to buy a house next summer. So, in an effort to make sure that happens, we have decided to make some major sacrifices in our lives now to make our future exactly what we want it to be. We are moving into a small 2 bedroom duplex not too far down the road from where we are now. I am nervous..... esspecially having to share a bathroom with boys. Gross. We are doing this to cut down on expenses, so we can pay off our debts and save money at the same time. We are hoping to be almost completely debt free by next summer so we can go into buying a home debt free. Its going to be a cramped next year, but we figure it will be best for our future. Say a little prayer for us!
This friday is my birthday and its one of those that women do not like. I will offiically be entering my late 20s. I am comfortable with my life and my age, so I am almost completely okay with this birthday. To celebrate, we are going out for mexican and margaritas tomorrow night. Then on Saturday, Allen, Daniel, mom and I are going to meet Danny in Valdosta and spend the day at Wild Adventures. Saturday night, one of my favorite country bands, Lady Antebellum, will be performing. I feel like a little kid I am so filled with excitement! So, my next post will be pictures from our amazingly fun-filled weekend!
Until then...... BYE!
