*crawling out from under my rock*

Wow...sooo much has happened since my last blog...

To pick up where I left off:
Thank you to everyone for all your prayers for my mother back in April...THEY WORKED!!
She did go through a tough time. Her heart stopped 3 times and she spent a LONG time in ICU on a ventilator, dialysis, sedated, and then in long term care. (totalled a few months) She had open heart surgery to fix a valve. We did go see her thinking it would be the last time, but she pulled through and is at home now. All she has to do is heart medication and regular post heart surgery care.

Back to the future:
We are moving out of the apartment and into a house on the 21st of August. It is a cute brick 3/2/2 house in a very family oriented neighborhood. It is also around the corner from our new friends and walking distance to them!
Alexis starts school on August 24th and will get to go to school with her cousin and new bff!!! I am excited and sad about Alexis starting school. I know she will do great, and it will probably make her a happier kid to be around more kids her age and to learn.
Trystan is walking, running, screaming, babbling, saying a few words (nu-uh, uh-huh banana, eat, hello, out, up, push, etc!) He is becoming this wild little boy that is very set in his ways and knows what he wants...not sure where he gets that! :)
Chris is working with the same company and though the work was slow for a while it has picked back up now which answers soo many prayers!
I am chilling! I have really enjoyed all of the summer activities they have here for the kids. We have done swimming lessons for Alexis, free movies at the theater, Six Flags, the splash pad park, lots of playing and sno cone making! It has been really great! I have applied for some jobs doing aid work with the special education department of the Weatherford ISD but have not heard anything back. With Alexis starting school and Chris and I wanting Trystan to get more kid interaction-we have prayed about it and if I can work with the schools I will work, if not, I won't. The school system is the only place I can be there for the kids still. Trystan could go to a church daycare and I would mostly only miss a few meals and a nap, they have great benefits, summer/weekends/holidays off, and the hours will fit greatly for me to spend time with the kids and work! Pray with me for that one! There are 9 open positions and I have submitted my resume so we will see how it goes!

I think that is about it for now, maybe I can find some fun/funny things to post later since I had to spend this post catching up!
