Whoops, I got behind again

Hi everyone. I was just sitting here and realized I could not remember the last time I posted a blog. So I looked and of course it was back in December, which was explaining November. Seriousley, you'd think I'd get better at this. So now I have to give a huge update. Not really, it's probably not even that exciting.

December was such a hectic month, with Christmas and Mady came to visit. It seemed like we were constantly doing something or going somewhere. But it was a GREAT month. To have Mady spend Christmas with us so shortly afer having open heart surgery was such a huge blessing. She did amazing and was finally filled with energy. We spent Christmas in Lemoore with our family and I was able to fully appreciate having my family here with me. Don't get me wrong, there are still many days when I dream of renting a U-Haul and making my escape, but our family is awesome and always ready to lend a hand.

In January I celebrated my dreaded 30th birthday and had the best time ever. My husband and friends really made it a special evening. Jeff took me to a romantic dinner at an Italian Steakhouse and then took me to my favorite hangout Lush where all my friends were there waiting for me. It was probably one the best birthdays I've ever had. The kids (with the help of Daddy) got me a new digital camera and Jeff bought me a laptop (no more homework excuses). I also went back to work in January but no need to go into details on that because I already quit.

Now it's March and not a lot happened in February and March. In February we went back to Blythe for a long weekend, just Jeff and I. It was our romantic get away....I know it's sad. We watched the superbowl at the Kings house...and just hung out. It was so nice. It was great seeing all our friends but it also gave us the clarity we needed that we are meant to be in Lemoore and this is where we need to stay. March is going by so fast I can barely think.

The kids are doing so good. Matthew just started baseball and he's got his work cut out for him, but he's picking it up. He's playing for the BlueJays and Jeff, the girls and I all have matching shirts and hats to cheer him on. The girls are getting ready for their first recital here. Both have two dances and my checkbook is crying from the cost, so next year they can only choose one class. Lessons learned.

Jeff and I were hoping to move out of his parents this month but since I quit my job we are waiting another few months to pay off some more bills. We are officially two months from being credit card debt free and so we are keeping the focus on that.

So here's our update. I will try and do better Trish.
