How did I not know there was something this big out there? I remember making jokes about the "Corrections Center Ahead" sign in front of Connell High School on the sporting event bus.
Whooo hooo today is my last day of work and then I have to really kick the packing and cleaning into gear. 
We have been so blessed for this opportunity to pop up in our lives. We've both felt like our lives have been on hold, in limbo, waiting & waiting for normal income and to have insurance. To be able to expand our family if we like. Jon has never had health insurance so we'll finally found out what ALL is wrong with him. Ha ha. Jon has been working for an electric company the last month and guess what....was laid off again. So the timing couldn't be more perfect. We've already started packing thanks to my sweet mother-in-law. I started working on my bathroom yesterday and can't wait to get started today.
at Alpine Storage. They've really been there for my family through it all and even become like family to me. I'm so happy I'll have lots of reasons to come back to UT though, and I've got to little new babies to see come August and October. So excited to come back and visit already.
I'm estatic to have family close and to be able to create deeper friendships with my sisters. I'm excited to start running with having to worry about getting hit by cars or mugged by ex-cons (where I work). Maddie is going to go nuts with all the little cousins running around, a real dream come true. I'm expecting her to become Katie's new tag-along, because she seems to like Katie the most when were home visiting. Jon is so excited to live on "The Hill".
She loves to play in the washer which is probably dangerous, but I think kind of funny. The latest news is that I can create pigtails in her hair, and it only took 18 months! However she hates anything in her hair and will rip it out immediately if she is not being distracted. I am determined though, yesterday I put a pony in 3 times within a 30 min. time frame. Such a tom boy. She loves the jogging stroller, she likes to push it around and be pushed around outside in return. As you can see she is a little dare devil and likes to try to climb, jump, and balance on things.
Let me just say that my bday was fantastic with a bbq of carne asada and pina coladas. All the celebrations rockin thanks to my cousins, but I only got pictures of the time Jon and I went out to the Melting Pot. Which we are reviewing as way too expensive for the taste of the food and service. So that is what I guess I will be sharing. Thanks everyone for the bday wishes and gifts and helping with food and just hanging out with me.
