We MOVED!!!!

We MOVED....1 door down. We got an opportunity to move into a 3 bedroom town home, right next door to our 2 bedroom town home.

It is going to be really nice. Now that the neighbors are gone, we won't have to hear swearing and yelling while we are at home.

We will now officially have a baby's room. NOW, we just need a baby. We are still trying to ADOPT, so if you know of anyone, please give them our information.

We will have an office and workout room on the main level with lots of storage. I can probably start making more hair things and start more hobbies.

We want to THANK everyone who helped us move. We COULD NOT have done it without you.

THANK YOU - Chelsey, Hans, Amber Dawn, Mike, Ma & Pa, Brandon, Kim, David, and Turkey!!!

Something new to do

I found a new project that I like to do. My friend, Kristen, likes to try new projects and make things, so I tried one of the with my Young Women. Now I just like to do it for fun. I make little kids hair bows. These are my first attempts at it.

We are still alive...Lets catch up

So it has been a long time since I have posted. It was hard typing with only one arm and pictures wouldn't post so I gave up for a little bit. Plus Matt is a computer hog always doing homework.

So here is a recap of our lives and some pictures to go with it too.

Christmas was fun. (See the pictures below)

New Years we spent with our best friends, the Elswoods. We stayed over night as we often do because they live 45 minutes away. Matt stayed up all night playing video games. Kristen came down at 6am to find him still playing. I got the best night sleep that night because Kristen took their foam mattress pad off her bed and put it on the air mattress for Matt and I. Well, I slept on it that night and Matt took a five hour nap on New Years Day. Thanks Kristen. We hung out on New Years Day and watched a movie. Well, the girls watched a movie while the boys slept. It was so cute becuase Katie stayed on Matt's lap while he slept.

Matt started Spring semester and we have 6 weeks left of it. YEAH. He only has 9 months of school left and then we are done with homework and school!!!! Can't wait!!!

I started back to work on January 19th only working 4 hours a day for two weeks, but that has long since past, I am now working full-time again and loving the adventure of learning my new position. It is crazy and stressful, but fun at the same time.

My arm is gradually getting better too. Get to work it out for at least 1 hour each evening. Having fun being patient with not being able to carry much weight and getting my movement back. Patience!?! I love this lesson!
Here was one of the stylish dinners that I made with 1 arm.


 
Matt lost his fishing pole over the summer to a fish, so I bought him a new one. A new and improved one, notice his arm has a blue band around it, well it is attached to his pole. Now hopefully he won't lose it again.
New Year's Day - Katie wearing my socks. She kept slipping on them, but I thought she was really cute.
David made breakfast on New Year's Day
Matt is asleep and Katie just stayed on his lap. Katie and Gracie love their Mattie.
My birthday dinner. We made our own salads. I was tired and didn't want to go out and eat.
