First Blog in Almost A Year

If I had to sum up my life the past year, I think the word that fits it best is...

CHAOTIC(my BFF Britney has a song titled Chaotic so of course its perfect for me)
 
 
Chaos isn't always a bad thing...I feel like a little bit of chaos is good.



1. Jake started his own company...All Phase Construction and Mechanical.  He is doing really really well.  His mom and dad did a wonderful job raising him with the work ethic of a mule horse.  Seriously, there are days I look at the man is awe, because there is NO WAY I would/could have the patience he has.  He is INSANE when it comes to business and running his.

2. I went back to school (for the 35463164131 time).  This time I went with a different attitude and decided it needed to be for me and nobody else.  History is a passion of mine...I love reading, talking, thinking and preaching about it.  So it just makes sense for me to get my degree in social science education.  I want a job where I can enjoy going to work every morning.  I started observing in an 11th grade US History class and fell in love.  I was at home and knew this is what I needed to do.

3. Kenzie turned 4....WHAT??  My child is 4.  I remember that fateful morning that I peed on that little white stick and two lines showed up.  How was that so long ago?  Kenzie is a spit fire and I wouldn't have her any other way.  She knows what she wants and goes for it.  CRAZY SMART...sometimes I feel like she is smarter than me...she can thank my brother Michael for that she got whatever genious genes that he got.

4. We moved AGAIN....ugh over it (and will be moving again in about 6 months) For 6 months last year we tried and tried to buy a house.  We found three homes we loved and for whatever reason all three fell through.  First, was a short sale that was taking millions of years to close on.  Second was a home where the homeowners were not willing to budge a cent and then wanted to rent their home from us for a month or two (uhmmm crazy much? NO) and the Third was the best...foreclosure amazing home everything we wanted and we ended up in a biding war with somebody else and the bank went with the other offer.  I was heartbroken and gave up on buying a house...too much stress. 

5. Had a crazy crazy summer.  I feel like it was so crazy that it went by in a blur and then it was fall.

6. Kenzie started Pre-K.  My little baby girl is not so little anymore.

7. My Grandma passed away.  She was so sick and it was time but we still miss her like crazy.  Kenzie still asks about her on a daily basis, they were very close.

8. Found out.......I'M PREGNANT with baby number TWO!  Due August 15 2013...Kenzie and squish will be 5 years apart so I'm literally sending one to school and starting all over again.


2013 is gonna be a good good year for us.  So many exciting things lined up like Tonya's wedding, Jessie's wedding, and Courtney's wedding. Sister in law (Marilyn) is having a baby, Sister is having a baby and BFF Carrie Lynn is having a baby!!  Buying a house (crossing fingers this time will be easy peasy) sending Kenzie to Kindergarten and adding a new baby to our house.
