I feel like its been quite a while since Ive honestly written a real blog post because life has just been busy for sure. We have had a few things going on from job change to stuff with Morgan.
:: Chad started a new job on Monday. Lets backtrack to where it all started because I know I haven’t written much about it.
We bought a yogurt shop (yes we still own it) back in December. After a few months, it was clear that the numbers
were very off (like half the amount). Chad began the job search back in March and went to many interviews but they were not the ones that God had called him to do. Many interviews ended in some moments of asking what are your plans for our family God? He kept searching and searching and finally landed the perfect job that God wanted him at. He will be doing the web marketing at a local Presbyterian college. To say this was an answer to prayer would be a major understatement. For an even funnier turn, he never even went into the office for an interview-all phone interviews. He now has his dream job working around Christian people (something he really hasn’t had in the working world). Yes we still own the yogurt shop, but its truly on the side and we have a manager to run it. It works out well for now.
:: Morgan got her paci taken away Sunday. After two years of her having the paci, on a whim we decided to cut her paci (just a very small piece on the edge). Thats all it took for her to hate the paci but whine like no other. The second day was the hardest with the whining and slowly but surely it will get better. She had not take a nap in 4 days and today she took a nap!!
:: Potty Training. Its a big word in this household and honestly we have yet to really tackle it much but plan on doing so the first of July. Im hoping to have some progress news sometime in July. I think she really is ready but mommy is just a little nervous to do it. We will get there and survive it. Wanted to get through the no paci before tackling potty training.
:: Summer is in full gear! I have now been home since May 25 and I must admit that its hard. I enjoy spending time with my little girl but honestly I don’t see how SAHMs do it all year. I’m constantly trying to come up with fun things to do with her. Its one of those tough moments-nice but hard. I have found so many things at least for the summer and I’m hoping to find any other new and fun ideas at local places. I will survive the summer and have lots of fun with her. Teachers return August 1 and kids come back August 8. She always seems to have lots of fun playing with her friends at school.
:: Last week we went to Destin on a true whim. With Chad starting his new job on Monday, we knew he would get no vacation for 90 days so we decided on a last minute deal to take the week and head to Destin (have lots of pictures to share soon!). We got a great deal on a hotel seeing that we booked it on a Thursday and left the next week (so a few days turnaround). Morgan hated the beach and just screamed when we got close. I think its safe to say that our daughter might not like the beach having this year and last year going to the beach and hating it. Of course the one thing she did enjoy was riding the carousel and being tall enough to ride with daddy in the cars.
:: Instagram. I’m not sure how I missed out on Instagram for so long but have recently joined in on Instagram. Its nice to just see the pictures and know whats going on with friends. Since I don’t really have much time to read blogs or Facebook, its a lot easier to catch up on Instagram. Click on the camera to connect.
:: Things are rocky with my mom. Its hard to state it out loud but yep its true. My relationship with my mother has come to an all new low. Some major things have happened and sometimes it really is hard to accept. Maybe one day they will be better but right now we are barely talking.
