My Crazy Wonderful Life

Ok so I am a total blog slacker. I have a few good excuses though. I started a new(ish) job, I started a new diet and I started back to school full time. I must have been on something when I decided to take a full load in the summer. Anyway, all is going good here. Karli turned 3 back in June and started K3. We still dont have her potty trained( she is one strong willed little girl). She is making progress though. Korey finished 7th grade, going into the 8th and made the school football team, so we have been busy taking him back and forth to workouts and practice will start in another week. Reese is growing like a weed, and will probably be the same size as Karli soon. She just turned 17 months old and decided to self wean from breastfeeding all within two weeks of each other. Randall graduated with his Masters in Public Administration with a minor in Criminal Justice and will walk on August 5th(had to be postponed from May due to the Tornado in April).. I am very proud of him. I started a new diet on June 20th and it is going well. I weigh in every Friday(but I am not doing WW this time around) I am making good progress and people are already starting to notice a difference. I also just cut 6 inches off my hair(it is still well below my shoulders)and I went back to my blonde highlights. I know this is a general update, but that is all I have time for. Will post pics of the kids once I am done with finals(2 more weeks) YAY...

Moving!!!

So we closed on the new house Tuesday Nov.30th and have been cleaning this week. The big move starts tomorrow. We are renting a moving van tomorrow Dec.6th and will have it all day. I am at work today but will be packing boxes and closets and all that fun stuff once I get home this afternoon. I still have to vacuum the girls bedrooms at the new house as well as Korey's bedroom and the stairs. We painted Korey's room last night (thanks Dad for trimming it out!)but we are going to have to buy more paint because we already used the whole gallon and the pink is showing through a little bit. Oh well. Other than that all is well. I hope to have pictures up in the next few days.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Here is my list of things I am thankful for in no particular order..
1. My beautiful family!!
2. Great friends!!
3. That we both have careers that we love!!
4. Freedom of Religion!!


I am especially thankful this year as Randall and myself are in the process of selling our current home and have just purchased our dream home. We are upgrading by about 1200 square feet, so I am very excited for the increase in space. We are set to close on Tuesday November 30th at 4pm and we take possession of the house at closing. Then the moving starts. I have roughly 50 broken down boxes in our basement and I have yet to pack a single thing. We are in an odd situation as we do not have to be moved out of our current home, since it has not sold yet. Hence the procrasitination on my part about packing. We are also only moving a short distance, 6 miles up the road to be exact. We are moving from the south end of our town to the north end, so we will be able to make lots of little trips. I envision that we will be doing more trips than actual packing. The real moving such as furniture and larger items will be the week of December 6th(what a great way to spend vacation). I pray for a good transition for Karli as she will probably have the roughest adjustment. Not only will she be moving into a new house, but she will be moving into a big girl bed as well. I must quit rambling now and go go bed..


HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!!
