I own a home again! I am so excited {and completely terrified} at the same time!! Most boxes are unpacked, but I still have a few that are loaded with "stuff." It's all the stuff that I MUST keep but have no idea what to do with. I will post pictures as soon as we have it looking home-y with personal pictures and decor. The kids rooms are finished and tonight will be the first night they see them!! I owe a huge thank you to 3 friends for coming over to paint Saturday night and then my siblings, Heidi, Mom, Matt, and Adam for helping me move. Tom has been great putting things together... especially Haley's bed that too 5 1/2 hours. YIKES... it had 32 pages of instructions. I'm so excited for the kiddos to see their spaces!!
Eric and Ali are engaged!! He asked her about a week ago, but I wasn't allowed to say until her family in OK found out! I'm so excited to be gaining 2 sis-in-laws!! WooHoo!! Cody and Heidi set a date: 2.19.12 (Their favorite verse from Hosea 2:19) Eric and Ali have not yet, but hopefully soon!!
Boo... on job searching again! Long story which I can't talk about yet, but I just can't chance anything being a single mom with a mortgage!!
I really don't have anything else to chat about now... sorry Heidi!!
I love my kids!!

Need to think...
of new blog titles. Crazy gets a little boring! But that is how my life is... CRAZY!
The kids started school this week. Today is day 4... only 176 more to go until summer vacation 2012! Haley looped from last year, so she has Mrs. Lockwood again {whom we love!} and the same classmates. She seems to love it so far! Day 1: She HATED the YMCA afterschool program. I've always picked them up, but with a full time job and time changes... it was impossible. Day 3: Best thing ever she says!! Drew started kindergarten and I didn't realize it would hit me so hard. Holy cow I was a MESS {understatemen}t on Sunday. He was so excited Monday morning. Day 4: cried when I dropped him off. I had to text Stacy to check on him because I felt like the worst mom ever sending him in. [He was fine!]
Cody & Heidi are engaged!! So happy for them!! No date has been set yet, but I'll keep you posted.
2 weeks from Friday... I close on my new house! 2 weeks from Sunday... We move in! I'm hoping and praying everything goes the way it is supposed too.
Tom and I are great! Having fun... we laugh a lot! The kids really get along great with him. haha... I'm pretty sure we started dating right after my last post, so he is good enough to meet my kids and I guess I will except the fact that I'm a "puma!"
Work is getting insane. Fingers crossed about a few things, but that will come out later.
Vacation [houseboat] was amazing!! We all had the best time. I need to have a blog of photo updates... maybe next time! I can't thank my dad for our great trip! Next vacation: spring break @ Orange Lake Resort in Orlando.
I guess that is it for now... I love my kids!!
