Our House

I took these pics today.

We Made it to the OK

Let me start by appologizing for my lack of bloging, we just found our computers got the internet hooked up and cleared a place for me to sit. So where to begin... the last month has brought about so many changes for our family I think my head is still spinning. We had a wonderful going away party with our Charleston family and we had some AMAZING friends come and help us to clean and pack up right before we left.

We took DJ for his first trip to the beach which he thuroughly enjoyed for about an hour then he was done! Then we celebrated mothers day and our last Seacoast service with the Stuckeys and the Pamily with a lot of kids and a lot of fun! And finally the day before we left we had dinner with the Kinney's and the Stuckeys in a tearful goodbye to Charleston. Leaving for OK took a little bit longer then we thought and my plan of DJ sleeping for 4 of the 6 hours on the road was a JOKE! The child did not sleep!! My Dad who came along for the road trip was priceless, especially with this kid! Arriving in OK we stayed in a dorm room on base until we could get water and electricity and gas to our new house. And ever since then we have been spending every day unpacking and chasing after the very quick crawling David Jospeh! DJ's first Birthday was Tuesday and though he did not have a big party we did get his first haircut (WAY too short for mommy's taste) and we took him to Applebees for a big Birthday dinner out. Thank you to everyone who called, who is remembering us in their prayers and who is just loving us from afar!! We miss you all more than you could know and we can't wait to see you again! P.S. I felt new baby moving for the first time last night and I just found out that the OB I have been sent to is my next door neighbor, interesting. Will try to write again soon!!

Life as a 10 month old

The Family's Last Visit to the SC

Hey Kids! Sorry there hasn't been any posts in awhile, sick with baby, getting ready to move, and parent's in town equal NO POSTS! But here are some pics of the last week. Jesse's parents and my mom and her husband came for one last visit to the SC before we move and we all had a blast! We went to the firefighter museum which was a blast because Jesse's dad is a retired firefighter. We took everyone to Cypress Gardens where you can take a boat through the swamp and see live alligators, walk through a butterfly pavilion, an alligator sanctuary, and a mini aquarium. We had a great time and my mom's husband, Mike, got some great pics I can post later since I forgot my camera. The next day was the airshow which was great and LOUD, and Sunday we hit church and then down town where we of course took a carriage tour. All in all it was a fantastic and busy trip that we truly enjoyed and are still recovering from!

Selling The House!

SO! We are moving to Oklahoma which means that we must sell our house here in South Carolina, easier said than done! True our house has not been staged to the quality you might see on HGTV but we have definitely cleaned up our clutter, and spruced the place up a bit. We have had exactly 3 showings since we put it on the market in February (and yes we have lowered our price) so its a little hard to be motivated to keep up on the cleaning and straightening up that showing your house requires. Especially since I have a 10 month old and I am in the "sick as a dog" stage of pregnancy. At this point I think I have let it go to far however so I made an attempt this weekend to clean, I attempted to clean a bathroom. I made it as far as half of one tub and then I lost my cookies. The smell of the cleaning product, the bending over, NOT GOOD! I am seriously thinking of asking some girls I know if they want to make some extra cash and having them come clean some bathrooms for me. Where is my loving husband during all of this you ask? He has been working 12 hour shifts for the past 3 months and is currently on a trip, needless to say he has been little help. We did put our house on the market for rent this weekend so perhaps we can get someone living in this house that way. It is a great little town house, 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, right on the water (deep water access), near the Air Force Base in a good part of North Charleston if you know anyone who is looking! Have a Blessed day!!

Highlights of a Nine Month Old

10 months and 9 weeks

So today is the day that my first baby turns 10 months and my second baby is 9 weeks into development. Very exciting!! I am starting to feel a little better, so sorry there havent been any posts lately. Hoping this picture can make up for it! Jesse is working hard and he can't wait to get to OK, although we will miss our friends here in SC, the family time in OK should be awesome!! Hope you have a great night!
