Hello Stranger!

I know it's been a while since I've been on so I have bunches to update!  I feel like a lot has happened and at the same time I feel like nothing has happened.  The main thing is how thankful we are for all of our blessings.  No matter how tough things get, we love each other and we're all healthy and happy!  I'll start from the bottom up.  Turner has been so much fun to watch as he learns and tries new things.  He is definitely all boy, he loves to go outside but he's not a fan of getting too dirty or sweaty.  I took him to the park last week and when he got all sweaty, he said "go bye bye mommy".  He was done with it!!

He is talking a bunch.  Every day he says something new.  The new word he's been using the last couple of days is the infamous "no". He says it really cute; like a little old British man.  So far he only says it when you ask him if he wants something.  Hey at least he's not yelling it while having a tantrum. I'm sure that's coming soon too! 

We finally found a girl that can cut his hair really cute.  He still doesn't like getting it cut though.  The only way to get him in the seat is with a lollipop!  But I think the end result was cute :)

Next is my baby girl, Kassidy.  She has had a ball this year with school and her friends.  She did great in school, she got straight A's on her last report card and all her teachers say she is a little math wiz! I'm so glad she's better at math than her mommy!  I think one of the highlights for both Kassidy and I was our trip to Kennedy Space Center.  I had never been there either.  We had so much fun!   She just finished VBS and loved it.  She says she wants to do an acting, singing and dancing camp!  She is always doing something artsy like an art project, writing a song, dancing but I think she loves singing the most.  She enjoys making her shows in front of the camera too.  She is my little Hollywood star! 

Now onto Kayla.  This year was a big year for her.  Her last year in middle school!  I can't believe it went by so fast!  It seems like yesterday she was a nervous 12 year old not knowing what to expect in the middle school world.  Just when she feels comfortable enough navigating through it, it's time for a change again.  Next year she starts high school at Freedom.  Mom and Dad are glad that Uncle Jimmy will still be close by.  We are so lucky to have Jimmy as family and as Kayla's principle.  He has been a lifesaver on days we've needed help with her! 

I know one of Kayla's favorite moments this year was her 8th grade dance.  When she was all dressed up, we couldn't believe how much she has grown.  She is a beautiful young lady inside and out.  She definitely had a great time at her dance...let's see what high school has in store!

Dennis and I have had a rough 7 months.  Being apart is not fun yet we are thankful he has a job.  He is trying his hardest to find a local job where we can finally have a normal life again.  He has a second meeting with the VP of the company he interviewed with so we are keeping our fingers crossed that it will work out.  And finally because of the financial strain of me not working plus other things, it appears we will be moving back to our old house.  We will make do:)  God has always taken care of us no matter what and He won't stop now!  We are all kind of excited to be back in civilization, HA!  The next thing I'm waiting is for is to see if I got accepted into the Nursing program for August.  I'll get an answer some time in July.  I worked really hard last semester to get all A's and passed the entrance exam but from what I hear there were 500 applicants and only 50 get in!  If the answer is not what I hoped for, then I have Plan B...no biggie!  I know that all things happen for a reason...

We will definitely keep everyone posted!
