Ok, so here goes nothing. I am going to try to keep up my blog yet again. So many of you family and friends have told me that you miss seeing what we are up to. Even though I'm on FB and so are many of you, I know it's different. Yes I post random events and pics on FB quite a bit, but I'm not going to post more intimate family moments with all of FB world. I do miss my journaling of our life events and daily happenings. So I've decided I need to get back on here and BLOG. Things have been nothing but busy over the last two years. It hasn't been boring that's for sure! Lots of things happening, lots of new things to see and do and lots of old things missed. We are making it just fine though and I know it's all in HIS plan. I'm excited for our new adventure in Florida!!
So this is my official "back at it" post. This goes for many aspects of my life also. Now that we are (sorta) settled in I can start to get a normal routine back in my life and in the boys life also. They have done pretty good with all this transition stuff but I know they do miss our old routine. So it's my goal to create our new routine!
Some of our most recent updates incase you missed it:
*We now live in Florida! It's great! I must say I love Florida..the weather...being close to the beach...and being close to our favorite spot....DISNEY!!
*We just moved into a new house. The housing is much different here than we are used to, but we found a house we like. We have boxes everywhere and rooms with not much furniture in them. We sold alot of our furniture before we moved from Louisiana. We didn't want to pay to move all of it and also didn't know what type of house we would move into. Shopping is on the agenda!!
*Mom moved to Florida too!! She only lives about 15 minutes from us. It's great. She picks the boys up two times a week from school to help us out. It's nice to have family nearby since we are so far away from other family!
*I am working full time. Yes this is a change for me. I know I'm spoiled but I liked it that way. I haven't worked full time since before Dev was born! But honestly right now full time is what we need. My job is great though and I really enjoy it. It also helps that I only need about 20-30 min to get to work and there's no traffic! I go between two offices and one of them I get to drive over a bridge with beautiful water views!! I love it...and I get to see the standstill traffic headed the other way! LOL My usual commute has usually been a minimum of 45 min and closer to an hour so this is excellent!! Also one of my work offices is almost walking distance to Mom's so I drop by on my lunch break :-)
* The boys are adjusting to their new school. It's been a little bit of a transition. I am still trying to adjust and not sure that I'm quite happy with it yet, but I'm trying to give it a chance. Mainly some teacher issues I'm dealing with. The boys seem to have made friends easily though so I'm happy about that. They also have many neighborhood boys to play with and that makes them very happy!!
*The boys are back to taking Taekwondo. They are really enjoying it. They started in the summer as a summer camp at the TKD school. The great part is that it's right across the street from their school. So now they go to aftercare at the TKD school 3 days a week and get to take TKD classes also. Many of the kids from their school obviously go there too so they are able to know many of the kids.
*The boys are starting soccer next week. They have been itching to play so I'm happy it's starting. Bry has been begging to play football but I'm not ready for that! I did ask them if they wanted to play flag football because I saw a flyer for flag. But neither boy was interested. I guess they felt it wasn't quite real football. That's totally OK with this Momma!!
*Mike is doing well. He was thrilled for us to finally join him after being here for 5 months by himself. His new job is going well. He only does day travel for the most part and covers a large area of Southern Florida.
Well that's the short story of our recent updates.
We just celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary! We spent a wonderful weekend away just by ourselves at Disney's Vero Beach resort. It was FABULOUS!! We didn't do much and that was the point. Just mainly laid on the beach and watched and listened to the waves roll in. We had such a great time and got to learn alot about sea turtles! I even watched one of the workers dig up a hatched turtle nest for research. They do it daily checking for turtles that couldn't get out of the nest. It's very scientific actually! The nest she dug up had 100 hatched eggs and 1 unfertilized egg. All the turtles got out! They have 5000 nests on a 4 mile stretch of beach!! One evening we came up just in time to see the worker with a bucket of turtles she had found in nests later that morning. She was waiting until dark to release them. We walked down to the beach and watched her set them on the sand and they waddled out into the ocean to try to make it! It was unbelieveable!! Again...we had a FABULOUS time!!
So keep checking back for updates! I think you can subscribe to this blog too somehow and it will email you when I make new posts. I'll check on that and let you know in case you are interested in following what we are up to down here in sunny Florida!!!
We miss all of you!!
Toodles.....
