Memorial Day

And we begin our updates....


Memorial Day! We spent a 4 day weekend down in Grants Pass at Chris's grandparents house. Hannah loved playing with her cousins, eating popcorn and junk food, watching boat races and just being someone new. We love Grants Pass for Memorial Day!

Here is Hannah with her cousins jumping on the bed

Watching the parade from Daddy's shoulders

Eating Blind George's Popcorn (honestly the best!)

Playing outside on a rainy day! -first year it had rained on us...such a weird year for weather!

Starting to update, hopefully I will be better

So I am going to be better, I am going to be better, I am going to be better! There now I will be better at updating my blog! We have been having adventures this summer and a lot has changed for our little family. It all started last Spring when Chris decided what he wants to do! The new plan and direction is to become a Nurse Anesthetist , which means more school, but will only be 2 more years and Chris can take those classes back in Springfield so we were excited to learn we could move home!

So here we are, living with my parents again! Haha! hopefully the last time we will need to do that! We moved in with them to wait and see about an apartment management job we had applied for and yesterday we found out the good news that we did get it!! Hooray! Free rent and utilities!!! of course there is work along with it, but it is a smaller complex and I can do all the work with Hannah by my side! It will save us so much money, especially with Chris going back to school! We will move into those apartments in 2 weeks and begin working on September 1st!!
We have been pretty busy this summer helping my parents remodel the inside of there house. All new floors everywhere, new counter tops, new appliances, new texture on all the ceilings, and the list goes on. So we have been helping with that and trying to stay out of the way at the same time. The major things are done besides repainting all the walls. But everything looks so nice. We have loved living back by family as well. Hannah is able to see her cousins all the time and we have been keeping really busy with so many things to do. We love it and feel very blessed to be back!
I will be updating this net week with pictures and catching up on all our fun events since May!! Then I am making a pact with myself to update at least once a week from here on out!! Wish me luck!!
