How time flys!!

I can't believe I haven't posted since April 09. That's crazy. I read several blogs every morning at work, but have failed to blog on behalf of myself. So much has been going on since last April.

Let me see....

We have been searching for a house. We started back in May and then decided to get a modular home. We knew where we wanted to be but there were no homes available. We have looked at so many floor plans. It can be a bit overwhelming. Oh the options and what ifs.

We finally decided on a floor plan after seeing over 50. Made our own adjustments and changes. I guess you can say we customized our house plans based on things that we liked in those that we did get to see.

The house was ordered in November. The basement was started the 2nd week in November. Now it is February and we haven't got much farther than that. The grade work is complete. The block for the basement is finished and we have a light pole. That's it... This has been one long, cold and snowy winter. Thank goodness it is almost March.

We may be moved in by May, who knows?


We went to Cancun in July. It was as awesome as ever. I just love it there. Such a fun and relaxing vacation. We ended up staying for 7 nights, but I was ready to come home. We will probably go again this year. (Oh how I miss the sunshine)

Me and Haley went to a Taylor Swift Concert in September in Charlotte. It was a really good concert. We had a great time together. I love having girl time with her. She is so special to me. She is growing up more and more everyday.


We took Haley and her friend Alicia to Pigeon Forge for the weekend in December. We went to Dollywood. We enjoyed our visit there, it was pretty cold but it felt like Christmas and it was just great to spend that time together and make those memories. The first morning there we woke up to a beautiful snow. We stayed in a cabin and the sight was just like a postcard.

We had a great Christmas, seems just like yesterday. Kevin and Haley went to Nola's (Kevin's Aunt) in Cleveland, TN for THE annual New Years party. I had to work and save my days off for the big move...

Me and Kevin made a trip back to Pigeon Forge for Valentines Day. It was nice to get away just us. I did miss Haley though. It just doesn't feel right being anywhere over night without her with us.

The kids have missed so much school with all this bad snowing weather we have been having. They missed 6 days in January and so far 9 days in February. They went to school this past Saturday to make up a day! As of right now their last day of school will be June 7th. They start back on August 6th. This seems so unfair. They deserve at least 2 months out for the summer. I think that, especially after this winter, year round school would not be a bad idea.

Here we are now at the end of February, not a moment too soon. We are ready for the concrete to be poured and a new house. I just hope and pray that the weather will cooperate with us. We currently have about 8 inches of snow on the ground and it is coming down as I type this. Looking at the forecast it is not suppose to clear up until Tuesday. I guess it is a good thing that we are not in the predicament of HAVING to move. We can move at our own pace, take our time. That's good since I hate being rushed. I guess we will rent our house when the time comes. I hope to get good renters. I guess we will have to be choosy. I hate the thought of someone coming in and tearing up the place that we worked so hard to get just right.

Well thats all for now. I have more to talk about but I'll save that for another day. I've said enough already.

Go out and enjoy this snow. Won't be long until we will be wearing flip flops and longing for Winter. NOT!!!!!!
