I've been slackerville lately.
so much has been going on that I don't even know where to begin.
we got back about a week ago from visiting L's new nephew (YAY) in florida!
Miller James King.
he is perfection
seriously.
the gift of life is so amazing to be that I couldn't help but get emotional at the sight of this little miracle that we are blessed with.
I genuinely feel so blessed that I get to be a part of this baby's life
and I love every second of watching his parents oogle over him!
beyond words.
we spent our time in florida with miller
loving on him and absorbing all the moments we could
before it was time to leave.
also,
we finally started working on the house!
I think I'm going to do before and after pictures when we're finished.
y'all, the people that lived there before were nasty.
really nasty.
(aside from the fact I think they participated in illegal activities)
the kitchen cabinets were covered in layers of grease.
carpet had all kinds of nastyness on it.
walls had grease and tacky paint.
yuck.
luckily, we've slowly been improving and just the thought of the finished product is motivation enough to keep working on it.
unfortunately, I won't be able to help as much as I did this last week because...
I got a job!
after about a month of job searching I got a j-o-b.
I'm incredibly excited and love my coworkers already
(today was my first day).
my boss and some coworkers took me out to lunch and I loved getting to know them
a little more (they're awesome, btw).
a part of me is slightly intimidated because of all the information there is to absorb
but I feel pretty confident that I'll get a good handle of it all.
It helps that everyone is so darn nice and helpful.
The only downside is the commute (about 35-45 minutes with traffic).
It honestly wasn't as bad of a drive as I expected.
I'm really looking forward to continue training and start doing some hands on work!
L is still on the job hunt for a teaching position.
he's been contacted by the district he wants to work for in reference to his references (hehe) and got that taken care of.
hopefully that means they are taking a look at his resume!
he's continued to apply to different schools (now private schools included).
he is meant to teach, so hopefully something comes up or else I think he may lose it.
seriously.
patience is not his best quality ;)
in the mean time,
we are still living at my parent's house.
as grateful and appreciative as i am that we are able to stay here and save tons of money (no rent)
I have to say I am pretty excited for the day we
get to have our own home again.
we are expected to move in late august/early september.

I am so grateful for the life that I live and for the people I love.
