Okay, so I haven't been updating this the way I should be. I have a minute of downtime here at work so I figured I would take advantage of it. Although there is no way I will get everything written in this one blog, I'm going to try my best to.
First, and probably most important, Justin and I close on our house on Friday at 3:30. Yes, we bought a house! I promise to post pictures soon, I just don't have all the pictures loaded on my computer here at work. So we close on Friday and have movers coming to pack us up on Friday morning and they will be coming back on Saturday to move us! Hoping to have all the family there for lunch so we can order pizza and sit in the floor of our new house for a nice lunch.
The house is incredible. It's a 4 bedroom/2 bathroom house. Nice 2-car garage, HUGE fenced in backyard that I'm looking forward to more than I ever thought! A lovely garden tub just for me :) Very excited about that, too. Along with the new house, we bought a new washer and dryer, they are red! ROLL TIDE!!! They are fantastic. So a busy week this week/weekend for us for sure!
Justin bought a new truck a little over a month ago. We call the truck SmurfMate. It's "smurf" blue. It's a Toyota Tacoma, very nice truck. Then last week, Justin said "Let's go back to Hoover Toyota" so we did. A week ago today I drove home in my very nice, brand new 2010 Toyota Sienna. LOVE it!! I'll get pictures posted of these two guys soon, too!
Other than buying lots of expensive stuff, not too much else has been going on. Ethan and Lexie are both doing well. Lexie has school registration for 1st grade next Thursday, so that's exciting! Can't believe she will be in 1st grade. Ethan is going to start dayschool at Riverchase Methodist this fall. I'm really excited about him going to "school". He really needs it and I know he will love it. We are also enrolling him in soccer in August. So soccer games coming up for us!
My nephew Cayden is 2 months and 8 days old today. He is really just the cutest thing. Well besides my kids of course :) But he made me cry this past Saturday by smiling at me...that's bad, huh? Cutest nephew ever though. He looks so much like my sister and brother-in-law that he doesn't look like either of them. It's so strange. And of course, I just melted when my sister told me he had a look the other day that looked just like his Aunt Rachel in one of her baby pictures!
Justin and I have been married for a little over 3 months now. For our 3 month, he bought me the sweetest necklace and bracelet and then went back and bought some diamond earrings that match my engagement ring. He spoils me :) But I love him more than I ever thought would be possible. I'm excited about our future, so much is happening for us that I'm so truly thankful for. We are extremely blessed.
Until next time, take care...
