Whats been going on with us?!

First things first, we have a place to call home! An answer to prayer really. Also a big thing about it, we aren't renting it. We own it! Some may think we are crazy but the way it all panned out was all the Lords work. He's incredible really, lol.

Brand New, never lived in. 3bedroom.2bath.On a little more then a half and acre. On a cul de sac.
Lots of yard! The builder is putting a fence up like the neighbors. And our property is all the way to their fence(they put their fence on the line.)
Here is the actual back yard. We have a lot of those trees....
Real wood floors in the living room. I love them!

Tile and granite counter tops in the kitchen. Lots of cabinet space, deep and tall! Realtor is putting a refrigerator in that matches the stove, dishwasher, and microwave for us, we get it today!
Master bathroom. We have his and her sinks and 2 walk in closets! I'm so excited not to have to switch my closets out for each season!

So thats really the big news.

Our move went very smooth! With 6 suitcases, a pack and play, a stroller, 3 carry on's, 2 large kennels and dogs, and a baby....it went so smooth compared to what I was expecting. Granted we had lots of delays with the flight, but we are here now.

My mom and nana picked us up in Atlanta on Thursday and we drove down here to Valdosta. Its a very pretty city and a lot bigger then we expected. Mom was here to help us with house hunting and I was very glad she was! As we've never done this before she was a lot of help.

Now to make this house a home, we just need our house hold goods. We get our car this week, so that will be wonderful to get rid of the rental. We get OUR internet this weekend too, yes I'm stealing this by sitting on our front porch, hehe.

We are all doing great, not much jet lag. We fall a sleep earlier then normal but are able to stay up all day, lol. The dogs are adjusting well, I am just ready for our fence to be installed so they can run free!

We went to a church this past Sunday and are going back this coming Sunday to Sunday school as well this time. We didnt' have much time last Sunday to stay and chat since we had to be back at the hotel by noon, but it worked. I am excited to go back and maybe meet some people!

Thats all I've got for now. Hope everyone else is doing great!

SnowBoarding

I know I've only been twice, but I love snowboarding. Its very tiring and my bum tends to get sore at the end of the day from falling, but all in all. Its a blast. I love being outside for one, and in the winter, there isn't a ton to do unless you do snow sports. Here are 2 pics from the last time we went. We went to Cortina Italy and it was so pretty.
Nick and I taking a breather before we head down the slope...
Holly and I and the gorgeous view of the mountains behind us. One of my favorite pics of us really.

We are planning on going to Nassfeld Austria in the morning to board one last time in Italy. I am really excited as I've heard great things about this place. I am super glad Holly is coming with us and our friend Terri. There are quite of few boys going so it'll be nice to have some girls to go down the slopes with...since the boys usually leave us in the dust.

I am planning in taking a lot more pictures and hopefully some video's tomorrow too. I do wish we were moving somewhere with snow, Georgia isn't really a snowboarding state. One day maybe we'll get orders to Hill Utah, which is where we would love to go. All in all, we'll have a blast in Georgia, so don't get that wrong, maybe I'll learn to surf instead! Haha!

Seriously?!

Happy 10 Months!
Oh my goodness...this last month has flown by so fast. I feel like I just posted that Brynlee was 9 months old and now here we are, at 10 months already. I know time has flown because of all our getting ready to move and stuff. Which is cool, but I'd like it to slow down now. Haha. I know it won't happen. Ever. Now that we have her. Time will always fly.
She is such a ham now. With her giant 2 teethed smile. Speaking of teeth, she has all four top ones right there. You can see the right two, but the left two actually have broke through. Soon it won't be a 2 tooth smile, it'll be 6!

  • I honestly don't know how much she weighs, since we don't have our scale currently. I'd guess 17-18lbs. She is 27 and a quarter inches tall, I do know that.
  • She eats a lot of table food now. I will make her some mixed veggies for dinner and she'll have peaches or apples or banana's with it. Sometimes she'll eat the Gerber Chicken or Turkey sticks.
  • We still only eat real food for breakfast and dinner. Lunch is just a bottle. She loves cheerios when she gets them. We've even tried Gold Fish and she likes those too. So far, she still isn't a picky eater. Still doesn't care for mashed potatoes though. We just tried them again. Oh and she likes pancakes.
  • She takes 2/3 naps a day. I think she starting to kick the evening one, which I am glad. Its too close to bedtime. Not that it really matters right now, in 16 days we're totally going to screw her schedule up when we move.
  • Loves to walk, but still isn't confident to even try without our help.
  • Gives kisses
  • Talks on the phone
  • Loves her puppies
  • Her favorite toy is Violet that Holly got her for Christmas
  • We're pretty sure she says Hi now.
  • So very curious about everything.
  • Loves playing Peek a Boo.
She brightens anyones day with that smile of hers. This age is really so much fun. I am excited to see her grow more and learn more but I'd be cool if we paused here for a while. I think thats about it.
