Settled In

We finally got settled in!
We downsized a lot so it has made a little more difficult to get everything organized, but were making it work. On the bright side, we will be saving money! Here are a few pictures...

Ellie checking out the new bathtub!

This is our very nice, but MUCH smaller kitchen. Getting everything in has been very difficult!
This is our brand new TV our parents got us for Christmas! As you can see the picture is so clear! Guess what? This is with bunny ears! Yes, we canceled our cable. We are pretty excited that we can get HD channels with bunny ears, who would have thought?





 Our bathroom has been our second difficulty. We are used to separate bathrooms so sharing one has taken some getting used to. Also, we have had to rearrange to get all our stuff in here. I'm so thankful for Hobby Lobby where I got this cool storage cabinet!
Hopefully, this will be our last move for a while.
Spring semester has started and going full force. 6 classes, and it is going to be rough. Guess its time to get busy .

Have a good weekend!

And the Fun Begins....

There are so many things going on all at once.  The past couple of months have been non stop craziness. Thanksgiving Break was the first break that I had from school since the beginning of September. With 5 classes, and studying I was kept pretty busy.

With Jordyn's schedule being so crazy we stayed in GA for Thanksgiving. We made our first Thanksgiving meal. We were able to have some of our friends over. I have to admit fixing our first turkey was an adventure. It took some time but we finally got it "cleaned" out and literally hand-buttered by Jordyn and in the oven. Four hours later it turned out great! I wish I had pictures, but we enjoyed our time here and I have to say I am so thankful for the friends we have here that made that day really special.

Thanksgiving was over and the day I returned back to school, finals began. Talk about stressful. I don't think I have studied that much EVER in my life. Luckily it paid off. After finals Ellie and I were off to NC to spend some much needed time at home with family and friends. Jordyn joined us at the end of the week. I was able to enjoy time at the job that I truly love and be with all of my family, and precious friends. I am so blessed with so many people that mean so much to me. Here are some pictures of our Christmas at home....



At my Aunt's house we played the Xbox Kinect. Watching my husband and brother play this game was hilarious!



My Daddy with Karlie and Ellie girl. They both LOVE him so much, which doesn't help their relationship.

Our Christmas tradition- we always read the Christmas story before opening presents.
 Jordyn surprised me with a Kindle Fire. I was so shocked, we had said we weren't getting each other anything. He is such a sweetheart! We had a great Christmas.

The day after Christmas we made our way back to GA. Now, we are preparing for another move. We have had so many issues with where we are at now, so its time to move on. Today was the day we finalized everything. Hopefully we will be moving by the end of the week. Keep us in  your prayers as we start yet another new chapter in our lives.

Now its time for packing and moving. Bring on the fun!
