Update...

Ok...well, we have been in our house officially 2 weeks now and we are still living out of boxes but slowly getting around to getting them unpacked and organized in the house. It is just so hard lately since I haven't been getting home until 6:30 or 7:00pm at night. Then it is time to cook and eat, get the kids ready for bed, and then get to bed myself since 5:30am rolls around pretty quickly if you ask me.
The dogs are all doing well except for Jasmine who decided to get the "happy dog" syndrome. She has managed to cut open the tip of her tail because she smacks it up against the wall or something and then it starts to bleed. I took her to the doctor and luckily it wasn't infected but she bandaged it up and placed one of those cone things around her neck. She looked soo pathetic. But now she has gotten used to it and will run around the house with it on, banging into walls, bouncing off them and running around again.
School is going. I have long days while I am there. I go Tuesday, Wednesday afternoon, and Thursday. But I keep telling myself, just a few more months, pass your classes and then you graduate in May. I think that is the only thing that will get me through the next couple of months.
Alicia (Moo-Moo) was here this past weekend and it was a great visit. She got to spend all of Friday with the kids since Brien and I both had to work, although Brien did get off at lunch time and headed home. We didn't do much but enjoy each other's company. She did love the house and the area we are now in. I am soo happy that the animals that are in the backyard were out and up close to actually enjoy them while she was here. For those of you who don't know, Al Banker (a big insurance dude), LOL, has something like 500 acres behind us that his house is on along with having an animal reserve. He has deer, antelopes, buffalos, and we have even seen zebras out there. It is really nice.
Well, off to finish my work so that I can get home today. Drop me a line sometime but please use my yahoo email since my charter email will no longer be valid after today. I'll be sending out a mass email with that information along with our new address this weekend.

It's Official!!

Well, we closed on our house on Friday, January 11, 2008. It's ours!! We are very excited. We started moving our stuff that weekend thanks to James and Josh who came over to help. It's been crazy busy. The only thing that I don't really like so far about the move is that we don't have a fence up for the dogs and so I have to take them outside to go potty. It wouldn't be soo bad except today it was pretty cold. It wouldn't be so bad if the girls didn't get up at 3:30am or so either. We decided to keep Tyler at Waverly Park to finish out his 5th grade year so that means I have to get up way early and then take him to his old bus stop or to school and then Hunter to school and then me to work or to school.
I started school this week. So far so good. I am taking 11 credit hours this semester so a little lighter than last semester but one of them is going to be tough. If all goes well, I do get to graduate in May! YEAH!

Kids are very excited today. Why? Because Moo-Moo is coming into town tonight. She is staying until Monday evening. Of course we did tell her to make sure she had her jacket since it is cold out here this weekend.

Oh well, off to class.

Well...we are almost done!!

Well, the house is almost complete. We did our walk through yesterday, Tuesday, and that went smoothly. Got the call today that we close on our house on Friday at 1:30pm. I can't wait. I have done a lot of packing but of course, there is a lot more. LOL

Brien is taking tomorrow and Friday off so that we can get more packed. But we are going to take advantage of the kids being in school and hit the matinee showing of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street tomorrow. I can't wait to see this movie. I have read so many good reviews and it has Johnny Depp paired up with Tim Burton...what can be wrong with that. They have made 5 great movies prior to this one. I just can't believe that I am actually getting Brien to go see a movie musical.

Ok...off to bed since I do have to get up in the morning and go to work for a couple of hours.

Happy New Year!!

Ok...so it is now the 6th day of the new year and I guess I should update my blog. LOL.
Anyhow, our house is still moving right along. It looks as if we will close on Thursday (1oth) or Friday (11th) so I have been nothing but a packing fool this weekend. We will be moving most of all our stuff next weekend and then we will have the rest of the month to move anything else and then start the deep cleaning of Marti and James' house that we have been renting. Brien also needs to start building a fence next weekend so that my doggies don't go running off and so that I can just let them outside without leashes to go potty. 6:00 in the morning is a bit chilly to go outside with the dogs and wait for them to go.
Tyler starts school on Monday and then I start my final semester on the 14th. I am soo excited. I finished last semester with 3 A's and 2 C's. Not too bad at all if you ask me. If all goes well this next semester, I will graduate in May. And yes, I will be making the walk to receive my diploma. I also got a job at UTA working in the Animal Research Lab. I am an Animal Care Specialist which basically means....I get to clean the mice tubs once a week and make sure they have food and water. The grunt work but hey, someone has to do it.
Christmas was good to the kids. Tyler got a Nintendo DS Lite and a couple of games. Hunter got more Star Wars guys, Cars stuff, a Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP (so that he doesn't go play Tyler's) and a couple of other stuff. We just found an original Xbox that someone was selling that came with 4 games (2 of which were Star Wars ones) for a great deal so we got that for the boys also. That came after Christmas though.
Well, I better get back to packing before Brien just starts throwing things in boxes. Hope all is well with everyone and thanks for reading my blog.
