So it’s official. We’re moving to Phoenix, Arizona. Uriah is there now trying to find a house for us – which makes me a little bit nervous but oh well. I took the kids to the park today – I’m amazed at how quickly Soldier makes friends. He ran up to a group of kids and immediately got accepted into the group. The kids have done really well with just one parent. I thought it’d be a lot harder this week without Uriah but it’s going okay.

I made a fun recipe for the kids tonight and it turned out to be really terrific! Ground beef with taco seasoning, mashed potatoes on top of the cooked ground beef – corn on top of that – then I added velveeta over the whole top – cook until it’s all bubbly! The kids loved it!!

I’m a jewelry fanatic – I LOVE really well made jewelry – I recently bought one of these bracelets for my grandmother. It was beautiful!!! It was made with real silver, gorgeous crystals and I had my grandfather’s name “Jack” put on it – he died last year. I’m interested in buying another one soon for myself – if you are interested in winning one go here…

Uriah is off to Phoenix on Sun for a week! Not cool! At least I’ll have plenty of house stuff to keep my busy – and thankfully I’ve got friends to spend time with – it’ll be lonely without him.

My son LOVES the Wii – he’s figured out how to play different war games! It’s kinda hilarious to watch him play – how do 4 and 5 year olds pick up on this stuff?

You can really see evidence of the fall in the gym….

I joined this gym about half a mile down the road from my house – cheap cheap cheap and I love it. It’s all moms or old men. lol I was on the ellyptical yesterday and usually I have these moms or old women beside me and they are going so much slower than I am it’s not a challenge – but yesterday this old man got on the machine beside me and was flying ….seriously, so I had to go as fast as he was. I am incredibly sore today.

Looks like everyone is feeling somewhat better today – which is great timing, I have about 9 loads of laundry to do! I’m thankful for downy making that job somewhat fun.

On the lookout for boxes today ….need to start packing up some things in my house.

After a week in Indiana – we made it home (15 hour drive!!) and we all got sick. So Monday through today we’ve been pretty miserable – today Uriah made it to work and I am finally unpacking our suitcases. Thankfully it was just a terrible cold/cough thing and not the flu or something. It was amazing to see Jon and Heather get married – I teared up a lot during that wedding – Heather looked unbelievable! I’ll post pictures later -

My sister is ENGAGED! I can’t believe it – makes me feel so old! I just ordered my bridesmaid dress from JCrew. I thought that was such a fun choice – the price was great AND I’ll get to use the dress again because it isn’t something that is so fancy you won’t ever wear it. So, I’m pumped! I can’t wait to meet the guy who won my sister’s heart …he must be pretty amazing!

The kids get to have the Chaney kids over tonight – they’re so excited they can’t talk about anything else! That’s pretty much the gist of everything here …miss all you Gunn/Johnson/Park/Rogers/Myers peeps!!!

I am realizing how unorganized all my closets are in the house – I have to take everything out and paint then put everything pack – it’s taking forever because I’m going through everything trying to organize it all. Kind of a pain!!

It snowed again yesterday – I helped make my first snow man. hehe I’m so glad I live in the south – I can’t take the snow weather for long.

Late last night Soldier woke up with knee pains – he ended up waking Naomi up due to his freakishly loud crying. So she came and sat in bed with him while I rubbed his knees – anyways, they had this conversation that made me laugh, even if it was midnight. Naomi said “Mom, I have this terrible bug bite on my face!” (it was actually a tiny little red spot, but on her perfect skin it was upsetting I guess) Soldier said “Did you SEE the bug bite you?” Naomi said “No, but I have the bite on my face!” Soldier said “So you saw it while you were sleeping??? hmm” And Naomi replied with “No, but I SEE the bite!” Soldier then said “well I SAW my knees hurting and I looked at them and said ‘knees! you are FIRED from this job!’ ” At this point I died laughing.

I love my kids!

I found a pair of Juicy Couture sweats at the thrift store for two bucks – they didn’t fit me so I listed them on ebay – just sold them for 28 bucks! Love it!!

Today has been a rough day for the kids – I think it’s the gloomy weather outside. Either way I managed to get two big closets emptied out, painted – two coats – then everything put back in – organized! I was pretty proud of myself.

Onto my energy drink and making dinner…

Soldier’s story…

I heard him telling Naomi a story …”One day the superman guy was out on a firetruck saving the world! And Belle was at home saving the animals!”
