Okay so like I totally suck… I was going to make sure that I updated every week… and well last week....didn’t get it done… so this week I’m going to update double…
So this is a year for change definitely! Tait accepted a new job in Milwaukee. He starts in February. I am very excited for him. He is going to live with his parents for awhile until I can get a job up there. We are getting ready to list our house next week, and get things moving in that direction. I have an interview set up for Jan 30th and I’m hoping that I get the job. Things are going pretty quickly with the move so far but it’s still kind of early.
I know this probably out of left field for some of you guys but I knew that we would be changing something this year and this is what it’s going to be for now. I’m excited about a new place to live and a new job. I hope that I get the job on the 30th but if I don’t then I will continue to work in Lafayette UNTIL I get a job OR sell my house. So hopefully that will be soon. Now the girls well until I get a job they will live with me and I will take them to and from daycare you know the whole thing. I’m nervous b/c where the daycare IS compared to where I work but hopefully I won’t have to worry about that b/c I’ll get a job and move right after Tait moves. I think we are going to rent a house that’s what I would like to do and hopefully we can build a little savings and pay things down and off while we are living “apart”. I’m nervous about living apart but I think that it’s not going to hurt anything. I hope that the girls are okay with the shift, I mean I’m really going to shake their world quite a bit. Tait will come home for the weekends and such but hopefully we won’t be apart for very long.
Lehna got her hair cut. She kept asking me over and over to get her hair cut and I finally said FINE and took her. It’s super cute on her. So I will post pictures. I didn’t get Maya’s hair cut only b/c I want it to be longer when we get it cut it costs 10 bucks to do four snips so I like it to long all over so it makes it worth it… and if get in her eyes I’ll just pull it back into a little rubber band b/c that always is supper cute. She should be getting her hair in faster… I mean Lehna’s hair took FREAKING FORVER to grow out but by the time she was two she had quite a head full of hair… Maya’s hair is coming along it still has a way to go… but it is coming.
So quite the excitement is what’s going on, I’m planning on spending quite a bit of my time this weekend packing things up and decluttering my house… doesn’t that sound like fun. I’m very worried about getting it “sell ready” but I feel like God is making this easy for us so far and if this is where we are supposed to be then we will be provided for. I have asked for the path so hopefully I’m reading all the signs correctly.

Christmas Review
Okay so I’m a little out of order but heck whatever… LOL
So Christmas was a ton of fun for me this year. Lehna was so cool. She was really excited about Santa and the whole works… it was really cool. We had made Christmas cookies and had them for the girls to give to Santa, Santa even wrote them a note that they didn’t care about… I even said “Look Santa wrote you a letter” Lehna looked at me... shrugged her shoulders and went on… she didn’t care at all… LOL but that was okay... maybe the letter from Santa WAS a little much… LOL
Lehna and Maya got so much stuff… we tried to keep it as “little” as possible and I even said “5 things a piece only!” Well… that didn’t quite happen but it was fun anyways… Lehna LOVES Hannah Montana so she got several items Hannah Montana related… she also LOVES anything princess related so was VERY excited to see 5 princess Barbie’s and 5 princess outfits for her to wear… (They came together in one box so there fore TWO separate toys) Maya is VERY into Dora and BABIES so she was very excited to get a brand new Dora dolly complete with the baby girl and baby boy her twin brother and sister now why Dora has a carrying pouch for the babies AND a baby bottle in hand her the MOTHER doesn’t… I don’t know, but she loves it… and Dora talks so how can you go wrong? It was really a good Christmas. It was just so nice to see the girls light up and unwrapped Christmas gifts. Lehna was so excited she helped Maya unwrap her’s Maya didn’t care… she was too busy trying to get the babies out of the boxes… LOL
After we had Christmas at our house then we to Peru for Christmas it was a lot of fun we got some good gifts, in the big Christmas exchange. I was able to come away with two Purdue seat cushions and a Purdue cooler, which will be way nice for Purdue football season. I can’t remember what Tait got but I am sure it was just as nice. It was nice to be able to see family and hang out.
Then we went home and rested… a day… then on Saturday we went to Tait’s side of the family to his cousin’s house and it was really fun. I managed to give Maya a BIG goose egg as I was trying to prevent her from going up the steps so I felt like a horrible beast… But other than that it was nice. It was so nice to spread out. Tait’s grandparents usually host and it’s usually so crowed and you have to basically sit… or you won’t have a seat LOL but it was nice to be able to have multiple places to sit and stretch around so thank you for opening your home up.
The rest of the weekend was nice and relaxing it was nice just to be able to have time with the girls. Then it was back to work on Monday. Which we have been so slow b/c so many of our companies has been on shut down, so it was just dead. We didn’t do anything remarkably special on New Year’s to be honest we all fell asleep at 9:30… and we HAPPEN to get a drunk dial at 10 til midnight (from a stranger) and Tait and I watched the ball drop. I have to say this was the first year since I’ve seen Dick Clark from his stroke and it was kind of sad… I was kind of sad… but other than that… that was the holiday season. A lot of time was spent with family and I always enjoy that.
This weekend we are planning on visiting Tait’s parents… it should be fun. I have heard that I am an aunt again. Sarah had her baby today! She had a Boy Max (but I don’t know what his middle name is yet) He weighed 8 lbs 6 ozs I think… and was like 22 inches long. Jackie and I are going to go see him at lunch tomorrow so HAPPY BABY! So I don’t think we will see my parents this weekend b/c they will be HERE… LOL so that’s pretty funny. Maybe other weekend. I can’t wait until I have vacation time again… it will be nice to have another 3 day weekend just b/c I can… you know… but that won’t come until the END of the month… so that is sad L
Well that’s all that’s going on I will add pictures soon so you can see our tree and such…

The Year for Change!
Do you ever ask yourself when a good time for change is? I know that some people would say that they hate change… that change is a horrible bad thing. I think I can say personally I normally feel this way. I sometimes get into moods in which I want everything to be the same, that any kind of change is bad and it will feel uncomfortable and I’m a creature of habit so let’s just leave it the same. Well I have to say that I am craving change so bad it’s almost blinding. I always think that the “other side of the fence” is easier. I guess you can say that I’m always looking for the easier path and I have to say that there have been some major things happening in my “personal” life that I am READY for change.
So I have deemed this year a year for change. I’m already starting to change my appearance. I have lost a total of around 30 lbs. I still have another 40 to go and then I think I’ll be looking awesome. I chopped off my hair. I decided that I would try something new. I like it it’s cute. I’ll have Tait take a picture of it so everyone can see it J so I’m just ready for changes. It’s crazy just how much I want change.
I am going to go through all my old clutter and start getting ready for changes. I need to open my self up and really just give things away. I can’t decide if I should keep all the old baby items like crib, jump a roo, changing table, etc. I don’t know if I’m done having kids but I just haven’t really decided yet. So I’ll probably hold on to them a little longer but I don’t know for how much longer. I am ready to get the rest of the carpet up in my house and paint. It’s a horrible shade of pink and the horrible pink carpet sure doesn’t help. I’m ready for change. Let’s bring it own.
This year is really going to be exciting. I hope I can keep the enthusiasm and the optimism going. I have had a heck of a year. My entire family ahs had a hard year and I’m so glad that 2008 is over. It’s time to bring in the new and man I have some big plans. I want to be happy. I crave for happiness right now and I’m going to take things one day at a time. I not going to break off more then I can change but I’m tired of feeling so “down” all the time. I am ready to have the fire back in my step (if that makes any sense). So look out world… b/c I’m coming. I’m a strong woman. I have been told this countless times and it’s time that I finally start believe it. I want to stop feeling like a doormat I am not that kind of person. I’m stronger than that, so here we go. Ready to start, ready to get a move on, here we go.
