I started Monday and haven't come up for air yet. Soon I hope!!! I will training for the next couple of weeks and then I will be able to pick up shifts. Jeff has been great around the house and with Brooklyn. We are going to take her down to 2 full days of school next month. We want to save some money for the house and Jeff is only in school 2 days a week so it works out! Please pray for us and send happy thoughts our way! We go to the Design center next week to put some upgrades in it! This is a very exciting time for us, but a very stressful one too! Lauren, Jeff's sister, has been helping us alot too with watching B if we need her to! She is truely an amazing gal who's birthday is coming up! I am very excited to be starting this new job!!! It means alot to this family!!!! Other than that life is grand! Til next time...

Our future

Hello,
So we have reserved a home! It won't be official until November, but we are signing the contract on Friday. We found a floor plan we like and then we found the lot to put it on! We are so excited. We get to pick everything in it such as upgrades. It works out perfect for us because we can get the tax credit and still have the upgrades we want. Plus, we won't have to break our lease too early. It is a one level 2100 square foot home in gilbert, where we live now. Brooklyn won'thave to change schools so that is good. This is a huge weight lifted off our shoulders!! We are ready to be in our own home!! this is a well known builder in the area and they build very elegant homes. We will post pics as we take them. Brooklyn has learned how to say "outside" she screams it and then runs to the door. It is the cutest thing. She thinks because she says it it should happen. haha She is the cutest thing! She has decided that she will only eat peanut butter. She loves peanut butter sandwiches! We can't send them to school because other kids could have allergies to it, so Brooklyn won't eat her lunch. she waited to get home and then has a PB sandwich. She eats the crust and all which is rare, but at least it is protein right? She is a girl who knows what she wants! hahha Til next time...
Jeff and Kristina

Back to the daily grind

So after having 3 days off I am back to the daily grind. I have to work Saturday, but it is time and a half so I am okay with that! We are going to look at houses on Monday so that is exciting! Also, our friend Kyle is coming on Wednesday. He and Jeff are going to a 311 concert on Friday. I think Jeff is excited to show his friend around and just hang out with a familiar face! It is raining here tonight the sky was super black when I left work, and the sun hadn't even gone down completely yet. Lots of thundering, but I don't have to worry about tornadoes anymore!!! Jeff took Brooklyn to see the puppies today at the pet store and to play at the mall park. They had a Daddy daughter day today because her school had a day off. She really enjoyed it! Jeff said when she saw the puppies in the window she said "Chadsey" our dog's name. I am pretty sure she thinks every dog is named Chad. haha
Jeff has over 20 of his songs signed to labels now. 6 of them are already for sale! This is very exciting and just shows how very talented he is! I am so proud of him. This heat must be good for him. hehe Brooklyn loves dancing to his music. You have to be quick though because she dances for just a minute and then she needs to rest. She thinks it is funny! Til next time...

So Brooklyn taught herself how to put her shoes on! She does it all by herself and she is so very proud. It takes her a little while, but when she gets them on she squeals with excitement! It is the cutest. Jeff has decided that he is going back to school. We are very excited as a family that he is ready to start a career! After alot of talking and thinking and getting information he has made his decision. He knows what he wants to do and is going to do it. Now he just needs to make all A's to get into the college of his profession. He will start out at a Community College here taking 18 hours at a time so that he can transfer to another college to get his degree. I am going to leave you hanging on your seats wondering what his major will be for now. He is positive this is what he wants to do, but he is nervous and excited and wanted me to wait to tell everyone. I am very excited for my Husband. I know his Mom would be so proud of who he has become as a father, Husband, and person! We love him so much and wish him the best!
