Gymnastics!!

We started tumbling this week, and our little girl could not be more excited! She looked so bid, where has all this time gone? I feel like it was just yesterday that we brought her home. She did great for her first class. She struggled a little bit on the back handspring training mat, she told the coach "nope I will not do that!" finally she decided to try it and she loved it! Well out of all things, I hope she keeps interest in this hobby because she looked to cute doing it. What can I say? I'm her number one fan:)

It feels like fall

Well it sure felt like fall here today, it was 68 degrees here! We felt it was the perfect day for a walk, we enjoyed it so much, we walk to the pond in our neighborhood and watched people fish, watched about a million squirrels along the walk, yes you read it right a million. Everywhere you go there is at least 5 squirrels to be spotted just about 6 feet away. We have truly enjoyed our Sunday, I can't wait to watch all the leaves change colors. It's one of my favorite seasons! Maddie and I are going to attempt to make a pumpkin pie this week, we will see how that goes I'll keep you posted. She says she will show me how to make one since this summer she made one with her great grandma. We will just have to see how much she really knows, I'm sure she remembers the entire recipe!

Finally Moved In!

Sorry I have not posted for a while, but you all can understand it was been really busy around here. Anyhow I'm back for good! We are all finally moved in, and box free. I have to tell you I was a wreck the first week I was here, I guess it really hit me that I have moved away from my family and friends. I think for the first time since this moving that I actually cried!(If you know me, you know I don't do that often)

Do you ever feel that sometimes we just fuss no matter how many blessings God has given us? Well I know I have been fussing a lot about this move, our house (which is smaller than we expected!), moving away from our church, friends, family, and so on...Well this last week God has really shown me how many blessings he has poured on my family during this season. First of all, I have found a good friend that we knew in Colorado and she lives right next to us, I'm able to stay at home with my daughter, and we found a good church. When I put it all into perspective, I really have been blessed and need to be happy! I really like the city we live in and the people are really nice. I guess I just need to stop looking at the negative and focus on the positive!

How am I going to explain this?

Well I'm packing everything today to leave tomorrow at 5 am, and to tell you the truth I'm getting easily distracted..ughh.. I hate it when that happens! Well we came to NC with 2 big pieces of luggage and 2 duffel bags, and there was plenty of space left, just in case I decided to do a little shopping while I'm here...as many of you know, I'm the SHOPPER of course always for bargains, my father in law makes fun of me because he says I always find everything for $3 or less. Well I have a problem, Maddie and my stuff does not fit in all that luggage, now Brandon knows that there was space left in there when we left CO. Oh man, I can't hide all my purchases! All I can say is that it was a good deal. Wish me luck on that conversation :) Hey but at least he will have a cute looking family.

Jumping Around

Well today we went to Raleigh about 45 mins away, to a jump house warehouse per say. We had so much fun, we were there for about 3 hours and did not want to leave, however something crazy happend. There was a lady sitting next to me who I started to talk to, if you know me you know I can't sit in silence too long. Well turns out that this lady's husband is in OTS and he graduated about 2 classes before my husband will. Talk about God putting people in you way to make things easier, well she gave me a few pointers on what it will be like to be an officer's wife, and what to wear to certain events, where to stay away from in Maxwell AFB, and what to avoid in the Air Force. Well the hours past, and I was so exited that I got to make a new friend that has a lot of things in common with me.

So Ready!

So many of you know that I have been in NC for the summer, while my husband is in AL for OTS. Well this summer journey is coming to an end, and yes believe it or not I'm a little sad to leave because I have really enjoyed spending this time with my in laws. In the other hand I'm so exited that I finally get to see my awesome husband, I really missed him (did I say that allready?) Maddie and I get to drive for 10.5 hours this week to AL, yep everyone needs to pray for me ;) Like I was saying I think this summer has been the most eventful summer in my life, we went to Disney World, the beach, Great Wolf Lodge, and of course drove all across the country to get to our soon to be new home in OH. I have some great memories, and of course Maddie does too! I know she has enjoyed spending time with her grandparents and they just love her so much, she is one loved grandchild. I'm truly blessed to have such great in laws!

I know it has been a really long time, but here it is my first post in over 2 years. I promise that I will be better at this.
