So it has been a while. To say the least I am sure. A LOT has been going on these days in all aspects of this mommy's life. So to make it short I will condense it through steps =)
1- Moved to South Carolina. Love this place. The HUBS loves this place. We have great neighbors and old friends here that we have enjoyed reconnecting with. So far so good. We have a HUGE yard vs our VA home which has been great for Tessa and Piper, not to mention Kaje loves to be out there and play.
2-Before we left VA I found out I would be getting to stay on with the Credit Union. Same pay, same job, lost my benefits but working from home is a whole new benefit (and challenge to say the least).
3-Have an offer on our house in VA and under contract. The Home Inspection is actually in about 45 minutes which is great and stressful all at the same time. Not exactly the offer we wanted, but an offer to say the least. Selling the house is better then paying for a home you don't live in and we didn't want to rent it out. We did too much work to that house to let someone else come in and mess it all up.
4- Kaje is registered and starts preschool in a week! August 17th will be his 1st day of school and I am so excited! I am a better mom when he is not home all day. Maybe that makes me a bad mom, but I think it makes me a Better mom =) that is a whole other blog in and of itself.
5-Family Family Family coming out of our ears! Living closer is great but everyone wants to visit all at once and that has been tough. The hubby has a weird schedule but the added benefit of a 4 day weekend every month, too bad they are booked through December.
6-Lost 50 lbs while the hubs was deployed and have gained 15 of it back =( but started back to the gym HARD CORE this week. I am determined to get it back off, as well as another 15 down so we can start trying for Baby #2 in October (assuming we really do close n the house on August 28th) as well as I want to have Jennifer Anniston Arms for my sisters wedding in March. 6 months, that is totally doable right?
7-We have POTTY TRAINING SUCCESS! I will be blogging about that soon as well now that I am up and running here in SC. Wish I would have tackled that battle sooner and will do so with the next kiddo. A HUGE thanks to my Friend Kimberlee who is the potty training Queen! She gave me the 411 on what she did with her oldest son. I planned to buy the book of the program she used, but didn't need to. The very next day I just started with her suggestions and bada bing bada boom we are using the potty all the time! Still in a diaper for nap and sleep, and of course any kid is going to have accidents, but you know, one thing at a time and I am not ready for changing sheets in the middle of the night yet=)
8-Have a play room at the new house and freakin love it! From here on out I will always have one. It is so great to not have toys everywhere. Not to mention nice for Kaje to have a place to play. There is room in his bedroom, but I like having the distinction of this is where we play, and this is where you sleep. Plus no distractions at bedtime. Maybe when he is older we can change that.
9-Love our new neighbors! Great people. 4 cute little girls and just all around good people. They coupon like mad people and our going to teach me how. Last week they bought $425 worth of food for $106.25! No joke I saw the receipt INSANE! They have also been great for getting settled as well as taught us how to make sushi which has been so fun to learn and do, now we are looking to expand and make more complicated rolls so yummy =)
10- Whew that is enough for one day right?
