Time for an update?

Well me and the kids are now in North Carolina! Hubby leaves for Iraq way to soon. We are going to miss him so very much. I can’t imagine my life without him for a full 12 months. But life must go on I guess. I’ll just take one day at a time. One good thing about being back home is being so very close to my little niece whom I absolutely adore. As you can see from the picture, Cassie loves her too. It is so wonderful for the kids to be so close to their little cousins again! Last night Kailey got to hang out with one of her little cousins at Girl Scouts. They were so cute holding hands and walking around talking. I enjoyed watching them bond, Kailey needs a girlfriend other than her sister Cassie and cousins make the best friends. One of my best friends is my cousin Angie and I want my children to know what its like to have a cousin to be best friends with as well. The joys of being near family!

In other news…I am looking for a new home for me and the kids to call home. Me and hubby have decided to buy our first home. How exciting and stressful!!! I honestly had no clue what it took. We had found one house that I had fallen in love with, but it ended up being in a flood zone and flood insurance is way to expensive! The things you learn. So we started the house hunting again and I came across this pretty house, it has 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms. It also has a huge rec room for my husband to call his man room. lol. Since he will be gone for a year though to Iraq, I figure me and the kids can use it as one huge home school/playroom! Cassie is very excited about the thought of having her own room. I must say I am jealous, I was a teenager before I had my own room. Anyways, we put a bid in this past Friday and since its a forecloser, we have to wait to hear back from the bank to see if they accept our offer or not. So the waiting begins. I’ll keep you updated on how things move along. Until then…byes!
