Busy Busy

I really need to get better about updating this blog. Well we are heading into a very busy next couple of months. Today is Michaels 26th Birthday, the 29th we will celebrate my nephews first birthday. I have lots to do for Keightons 2nd birthday and I am getting everything ready to go back to school. They only accept 15 this year so I really have to get my stuff together and pass the test. I am also beginning to get stuff ready for Casey's Graduation from Tech. She has been such an inspiration to me and I am so proud of her. She will finish with her bachelors degree and will be able to apply next year to Physical Therapy school. She is such a smart girl. I cant believe how fast time is going by. We have lived in our house almost 7 months, which has been so nice. Michael has been out of the Army 2 years and it seems like just yesterday he started the long drive home. I cant believe my little girl will be 2 in March. I look at all that has happened to me over the past couple of years and feel completely blessed to be where I am at.
Hopefully I will get better about posting
Till next time :)

From house to home

Well I have been working for almost a month on the house. I did most of the decorating in the first 2 weeks and these last two weeks I have been doing little things to get everything done. I still have some boxes in the dining room and the garage. I am replacing the light fixture in the dining room and just havent had the energy to do it so its still in a box. They dont let you pick fixtures and that kind of stuff so lots will be changed out. I just have to wait and do a little at a time. I have been pretty pleased with the way things turned out on the house. I think I did good selecting things for the house considering I picked everything on my lunch hour.
Here are some pictures of the progress so far.

2 weeks

Well we are 2 weeks away from closing on the house and we are excited. I have been trying to get everything together but I havent packed much since I have no where to store the boxes I pack. I am ready to get moved in and not have to drive everyday. I have been having to take Keighton clear across town to daycare, but once we move it will be super close. We have really enjoyed the new babysitter, but I know that Keighton misses Kimber a lot. My mom takes her to watch her sons play baseball so Keighton can see them. We really didnt want to move Keighton, but it just wasnt possible to keep her in Levelland. I am so blessed that Whitney told me about Kimber and they had an opening at the time I needed them. We are going to miss them, but Keighton has made new friends and hopefully she will be able to stay at this one till we get her in school. Wow it sounds like so far away, but time is flying and it will be here before we can turn around twice. Keighton is going through terrible twos at 14 months and boy do we have a time with her. She is fearless and will do anything. She has been so much fun though. Her smile and laugh just melts my heart. I love when she hugs me super tight and gives me kisses, even though they are super wet kisses. Michael is going to school for his EMT certification and he has been doing really good on everything and he is fixing to start rotations. He is upset because he has to deliver a baby and he said he has already done that when Keighton was born. I have been doing to same stuff like always. I still work for the school, but this will probably be my last year at the school. I am planning on going back to school for another degree and I cant wait.
Well thats about it for now. Here are some pics of the house

An update on the house. Not much is going on. They have the plumbing and electrical done. They have also put in the fireplace, bath tubs and showers. I feel like they are not working on it at all so hopefully Im wrong and it will be done by June 30th. We picked out our appliances and ordered them today so thats another thing to mark off my long list of to do's.
We found Keighton a new daycare that I think we are going to love. Her daycare will be close to the house so that will be nice. We will have to drive clear across town till we move because the spot was starting the end of May, but oh well it will give me a chance to go look at the progress on the house.
Michael graduated the Fire Academy last week and so he will be home at night now, so that will be great. We are so proud of him. We never thought that the day would come where he wouldnt have to work all day and then go to school till 10. He still have EMT to take this summer, but he wont be working at the school so all he will have is school during the day.

Our House

Well we are in the process of building our first home. It will be located in Cooper Ridge and we are super excited. I am trying to pick all the stuff for the inside and boy is it hard. Its hard to tell what your whole house will look like with a small little swatch of carpet, tile, cabinets and counter tops. I think I am pretty close to being done picking everything. I have doors and a couple little things. It will be completed by the 30th of June so we are trying to get everything worked out before then. We are trying to find Keighton a daycare in Lubbock and we have lots to do before then. We are going to try and take pictures of the process, but Cooper Ridge is not on the way out of Lubbock coming towards Levelland so its hard to swing by everyday to see the progress they have made.
