Wait For It....

Yes, I am actually blogging. Maybe not consistently, I haven't decided yet. But I am doing a post! Updates:
My little Brookie- she is getting so big! She walks and tries to run, then usually trips- it is so cute. She loves to shake hands and give high fives. She talks non-stop, but only a few words make sense. She does say "Here you go" and "Thank You", but not very consistently. Her hair is getting longer- I've had to cut her bangs twice and they need another trim! She gives the best "big hugs" and she's learning the kisses. But her best feature yet is her dance skills- can I say, holy cow. I've never seen a little kid have these kinds of moves... I hope to post a video soon! I can't seem to catch her on tape! We sure love her!
Me- I am working for my dad again/still. I really do enjoy it. I was working very minimal hours, but I just had a "raise" in hours so I now work four days a week. It makes it tough to get housework done along with all the projects I like to do (latest one sewing a purse- so easy, so fun, so cute!!!!), but it works out somehow. My neighbor owns a children's second hand shop and she's letting me sell bracelets and headbands in her shop, so that's really fun for me! Marce's Children's Boutique on Vista by the Dollar Tree- check it out! She is really nice! Oh, I got called as Primary 1st counselor and oh my goodness do I love it or what! No offense to any of you teachers, but it is SO much better than being a teacher! I just like the interaction with other adults! I'm not sure what I'm doing yet and come March (my month for Sharing Time) I'll probably be singing a different tune, but so far, so good!
Ben- Back to school, back to school. But he's loving it. Hopefully we only have one year left after this one, then we're off to graduate school. He works part time delivering for a local pizza place, which is starting to make us fat! But we love it! Tip your pizza delivery guy! They need $$ too!
That's our life up to date! If I could ever get my pictures from the last 4 months dumped on my computer, I would post them- guess you'll just have to wait until the next time I post! Don't hold your breath.... :)

Life Goes On

So.... it's the day after Thanksgiving already! Can you believe it?!?! I honestly cannot. And I am supposed to be having a party at my house on Tuesday... yeah, I totally forgot to send out the invites. I think I'm going to have to reschedule... again! Don't hate me Rachael! So I didn't think remodeling the house was going to take quite so long. I just figured we'd slap up a couple coats of paint and be done with it! Well, a month later, we finally finished the front room... mostly. We ran out of moulding in the dining room so I've got to go buy some more of that. And I haven't caulked everything yet.... because I just don't want to. Brook is growing like a weed. She's 14 months and she wears size four shoes now... my baby isn't a baby much longer! She walks like a champ- has been since her birthday. I was pretty worried when we moved in that all our floors are uncarpeted- I thought she'd be slippin and slidin all over the place, but she does amazing! She's actually only slipped twice! Anyways, enough of that. I will post a picture of recent life if I can find one... and I can't. So you'll have to wait!

We Moved!!!

So, we are in the house! Oh my word.... it is AWESOME! I so love it! It's so much fun! We've already started remodeling and painting and buying rugs and fridges and it is the best time of my life so far! My desktop is broken apparently- we think it fried in the storage unit this summer, so I don't have pictures and I'm still working on unpacking and stuff, so as soon as I do get things up and running and I find a minute, I'll get pictures posted!
