Normal job

The other night while out to eat with my boys, daddy's job came up in the conversation.... As you know the hubby is in the military, with that job comes the difficult times of deployments, and long work hours. There are no set hours of work, it's not a normal 9-5 job where you will be home for dinners, activities with the kids, and have every weekend off. Most people say "You make plans and God laughs" well we say "You make plans and the Military laughs" It is tough for kids to deal with the complete unknown of this job, they did not sign up for it but try to handle it with much grace. For one of mine he is a little over it.... As I was telling them that we should be so very proud of the job he does, and the sacrifice he makes this sweet little boy responded with... "Can't he get a normal job like at McDonald's?"

Eclipse Mania!

Do not know if you have heard but I am a huge Twilight fan. I admit it and love it! So with Eclipse coming to theaters next week my friend Sherry and I decided let's watch Twilight and New Moon together before we see Eclipse....... well that then turned into having a movie party. We had a great time with wonderful friends and of course Vampires! (oh and werewolves too) We invited friends to come into a world, of love, blood, sparkly vampires and the ultimate choice TEAM EDWARD or TEAM JACOB! There was an Edward poster at the door, and when you walked in my hubby's office had a sign, Dr. Cullen's Office  hours Breaking Dawn til Twilight! There was so much little detail from Bella's birthday gifts, to red & black M&M's, to Vampire Wine, to framed quotes from the books. It was so much fun and we are already planning another one!

Overhaul begins!

When we bought this place we knew the front yard would need a lot of love as the house sat empty for at least a year. We have been trying to get the inside taking care of and decided that we would wait til we got most of it done before we would start outside. The yard was weed central and the flower beds looked like something out of a horror movie. Our first project was the yard. We have managed to kill all the weeds and are now working on getting the grass green. I truly love owning our own home but my project list has never been longer.  This morning I decided to start what will be a very long project.... the flower beds! I will be posting pictures through out this process. Also I will be getting some pictures of the inside of the house posted as well. It still has a long way to go but thankfully it is ours and we can take our time!!

MORE TO COME.....

First payment!

Its really official! We made our first payment on the house and it felt wonderful.

The house is coming along. We have most of the rooms painted and decorated. We have a few small touch ups here and there. We truly love this house. It is so perfect for us! It has been so much fun getting it in order.

School is almost over and then it will be summer! I really hope summer drags a little cause I am not ready for all of them to be in school all day. I enjoy my children and love having them home with me. It will be a fun summer filled with great things and maybe even a short trip to see an old friend!

Happy May!
