Count Down!

In 27 days we will move from our place where we live now to a 1 bedroom! It has a garden tub, a SUPER small kitchen, but the living room is HUGE! I was hoping to get vaulted ceilings on the 3rd floor, but Kenneth wouldn't let us sign till this weekend, so we had only 1 option! :( I'm interested in how it will all work. We will be living here. I'm excited about it, and hoping I can find storage for everything we have. Kenneth gets NFL Red Zone ticket or something like that, and I might be able to finally stop working two jobs with how much we will be saving! So that's a plus!

In 36 days Kenneth and I will celebrate being married for 1 year. I can't believe how fast its coming up. I probably will be making a post documenting our 1 year. Its been a tough one. Between me working two jobs and all the adjustments that are had during the first year. I'm thankful for the patience of my husband. I'm just looking forward to being moved out of our first place and into what we will call home for the next 11 to 12 months. And maybe eating at the Melting Pot :)

In 49 days Kenneth hits the downhill slide to 30 :) I'm being so mean to him. It's just so fun to say haha, you will be 26 here soon!

So thats the countdown for the next few weeks. I like to hit things fast! The next few weekends are going to be spent packing. I'm also working on cleaning up the pantry and all my stockpiling goodies.

Sorry I've been MIA for a little while. School started up, then add house hunting, working at Kroger, and weekend trips to Memphis, life has lost it!

We are about to end our 2nd week of school. The kindergarteners start tomorrow, so that will be an interesting twist. We have 5 kids right now, and are adding 4 or 5 tomorrow. We have a runner, 2 that have seizures, and a special one all in one group. So life should get fun tomorrow! But we also have gained 2 behavior EAs! And we'll be getting a student teacher when college starts up. So maybe things will calm down for us and we will be able to take a break and a 30 minute lunch without kids!

We headed to Memphis this past weekend. Kenneth wanted to play golf with his dad, and his brother in law, Ben has learned how to play golf, so they did a golf outing while, me, Laura, and his mom ran errands, ate lunch, saw a movie, and got a pedicure. It was so much fun!! It was a good way to end the first week of school! :)

I'm still working at kroger, but there has been some management switching and I'm not to sure how I feel about it. I love that the money I earn puts extra towards a house, but at the same time, I'm tired of looking around my apartment and being like oh my! Its a mess! I have 2 nights a week to make grocery lists, do laundry, prepare meals, vacuum, clean the bathrooms. Saturday is my day that I do nothing except grocery shop. That doesn't leave much time to do other things.

We go to look at the townhome we really want to rent on Saturday. If its not as nice as the pics say, then we will move into an apartment a few miles down the road. I'm hoping we get the townhome. Its got a huge kitchen. I just don't know if it has a washer and dryer.. kinda deal breakers. Time will tell on Saturday.

Anyway this ended up being super long, so I'm getting off here, eating my Buffalo Wild Wings, watching Psych, and then crashing! I am reading your posts, just barely having time to comment :(
