Cozy Living

So we are moved into our house. Well, by moved in I mean we are living there and all of our stuff is there. We just aren't unpacked! I feel like I need about a week of just unpacking without any distractions. Unfortunately for us, we have work and two kids on top of it! Not that having kids is unfortunate because really, they truly are great. It's just that Ethan wants to "help" with everything and his idea of helping is asking a million questions about everything and keeping me distracted to the point of wanting to pull my hair out. Although when he is pee peeing on the potty and says "momma, I love you forever", it really makes up for all of that. Sweet, I know. So we are not unpacked. I have a feeling that this weekend is going to be spent unpacking. It's our kid free weekend (they are with the other sides) and as much as Justin and I want to just enjoy the new house and relax, I don't think it will happen. I mean, I know I will feel so much better once everything is unpacked and it's all settled where it needs to go, and I'm sure my toe nails and finger nails will appreciate me finding the nail clippers. I will get pictures soon, I promise. We have internet sort of...we are just waiting for our modem to arrive so the dsl actually works. All in time...

I forgot to mention my new job. I'm no longer sitting at the front desk of Hoffman Media as the receptionist. It's the most wonderful feeling in the world. Hoffman has been great to me and I love working here, but being able to get up and go to a meeting without having to find someone to cover my desk, it's like a dream come true! So I am now sitting back in the production department with the wonderful art girls and doing my Advertising Production Rep job full time. I was working just solely on Southern Lady magazine but I have added Cooking with Paula Deen, Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade, Victoria and Celebrate to that list now. I LOVE it! It's nice to have my own space at work finally although you would think I'm a single girl who has no family at all because my little pod is so bare. I keep telling myself every day that I must bring some pictures, and eventually I will get around to it I suppose.

I'm trying to think of what other things are going on. Oh, my parents are trying to sell their house in TN so they can move back down to Alabama and be with their daughters and grandbabies. Well and their son-in-laws too, I suppose :) With Ethan getting close to turning 4 every day and then Lexie being in the family now too, it was hard for them to stay away. But now with baby Cayden on top of it, well, I'm just praying that their house sells fast up there. We want and need them back down here. It's just not the same without them here. I miss them more than I normally let on. Justin knows how much I miss them though...has even told my dad that they need to hurry and move back down. I'm wondering if I will ever grow out of being a "child" that needs her parents close by? If I don't, I think I'm okay with that. I just love them is all and I don't think that is a bad thing at all. Ethan keeps asking if Pop is coming back to see him soon, it makes me laugh but then makes me sad. He must have really bonded with Pop this past weekend, just not sure when it happened between all the whining that Ethan did. He sure loves his Nana and Pop though.

Well I think that is all for now. I promise pictures soon once I can find my card reader for the camera and actually take some photos of the house and new van and all sorts of things. They are coming soon so I will say...to be continued.

Until next time, take care...
