WE ARE HOMEOWNERS!

So as many of you know we have been on the house hunt, and this past Sunday we became homeowners!! We are so excited about this house. Conrad already promised Braxton that we would make his room a Michigan room. I am going to try my very best to make sure this doesn't happen, but honestly I might have no choice in the matter. You all have no idea what I am dealing with here. Braxton sings the Michigan fight song everyday and sometimes he does it just to spite me. I don't even know how I got here with him, but I can tell you I don't like it. Anyways Braxton is so excited to decorate his room and make it his own. I just love to see how much he lights up when we tell him things about the house.

I am just so excited to see our hardwork paying off. We have really worked hard to get here and I am just soo excited to see the benefits. God is so good and has helped us grow and see the light at the end of the tunnel, even when we didn't believe it was there.

Lastly, I have to leave you with what my son prayed about tonight.. "God please help bad people, help good people find moms and dads who don't have them. also help them find shelter in a thunderstorm." Seriously cutest thing ever. What I love about it is not one thing was about him. He prayed for other people. Like I always say and will continue to say Braxton is so amazing and he truly makes me learn and grow everyday. At 3 years old he really made me stop and think today how lucky we are.

So now we get ready for the big move...If you are looking for a great summer workout contact me in 30 days:)

And the hunt goes on..

As many of you know we put an offer on a house. We ended up with another person who really wanted the house. They managed to pay cash and it and left us out of the running. The worst part about it was it was such a long process that I started picturing my family being in the house. However, I know God has a different plan for us so I have to believe that. We will be looking at more homes tomorrow so I am praying we find a new fit:)

This past weekend my bf Beth got married to a wonderful man Matty. The wedding was BEAUTIFUL. Seriously from her flowers to her breathtaking dress. It was Beth all the way and I felt honored that Braxton and I were part of their day. Braxton did wonderful. We did have a little moment before we walked down the aisle where he was like I don't want to I want to walk with you. I did the only thing I could think of and told him Braxton you walk down that aisle with the biggest smile and I will get you a new dog. As you can tell from this picture..It worked:). Hey you gotta do what you gotta do.


I was so proud of my little man. Once we got to the reception it was party time and my son was a dancing fool. He danced with the flower girl and it was the CUTEST thing I have ever seen. I just kept watching from the side. He makes me so happy:)
I even got in on a couple dances too, but once he had the flower girl I was old news.
It was such an amazing celebration and the only thing I have to say is Matt is a wonderful fit for Beth. He was a perfect groom and you just felt the love those two have for eachother. I am sooo happy for them!! Now if I could just get them to move closer to home.

Lastly, we finally got Conrad a new car. He will be sporting a white honda accord. Yes we are going to be that couple with matching cars:). Thats how much we love eachother.

Im still here..

Ahh life just got busy and I forgot all about this blog.

I had a month off from school and I took full advantage of it. Braxton and I have really enjoyed spending time together. We have made several trips to the zoo, library, and outside for "adventures." I have loved it, but now it makes it even more difficult to get back to school. Ahh why did I sign up for summer school again when its 93 degrees outside? That's just silly. Oh well..I am going to get a class out of the way so I will appreciate it when it is over.

More exciting news..Conrad and I just put an offer on a home. We are so excited and praying like crazy this is the one. It is just perfect for our family. However, I am trying as hard as I can not to get my hopes up because well lets face it stuff happens and I don't want to get discouraged. Whatever happens..happens and I know God is calling the shots that are best for us:) We will keep you posted. We should be hearing today the news. I am sooo impatient and just want to know NOW!

Lastly this weekend is Beth's wedding. I am sooo excited for this day! Braxton has been practicing and I pray he does what he is suppose to. We are picking up his tux Thursday so I am so excited to see my handsome son all dolled up. Trust me there will be lots of pictures that I will share.

I promise to write more soon:)
