We're moving up in the world.. finally!

We got the news that we will for sure be moving to a HOUSE soon!! Ben and I have been saying our prayers and doing what we can to get to this place. We were doomed to live in an apartment again, but I think we'll be making it good.

We move in next month and I can't wait to have more room!! We're in a small (780 sq. ft.) one bedroom apartment now. The new house is a two bedroom place. Only one bath, but since it's just the two of us right now, I think we'll be fine. The kitchen is huge and I can't wait to get in and make it mine.

We got the go ahead to paint and I'm already picking out colors (Valspar's Coconut Milk). Room to have friends over finally! No more desk in the bedroom!!


I'll keep you posted and get pictures up as soon as I can.

Wish us luck!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Boredom

Boredom kicked in tonight. So, I made cookies.

Keep in mind that this is the second night in a row that I've made cookies. Last night I made them because I kind of "had" to. Ben needed to bring something for the potluck at work. I love making cookies- so I made some.

But then I saw that I still had a half package of chocolate chips left and I started to "snack" on them while watching the season opener of Grey's Anatomy. I realized- I should make cookies.

And not just ANY cookie, but my mom's moist and delicious Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies. Well, technically they are someone else's recipe (thank you Teri Miller). Oh well. I'm doing really good at only eating ONE. That's right- ONE!

To keep myself from eating most of them, I'll take some to work and to the new apartment complex. (What? I have to woo people somehow and get what I want, right?)

So now my apartment smells of pumpkin, nutmeg and cinnamon- I love it!

WELCOME FALL!

Life is grand at times.

I realized I haven't been on here for a while. Time to update.

I still take care of one of the cutest kids (besides my own). She turns 6 months in a couple of days and is a joy to watch. She rolls, coos, sucks on everything. I love it!!

Ben and I recently took a spontaneous trip to Grand Junction, CO to see Ben's sister, Michelle, and her 2 kids. I love her!! It was a much needed trip as well. Ben hadn't seen her in about 10 years- so the reunion was the best.

Ben is looking at working for Denver Health in downtown Denver starting September 14th. We look forward to having a full-time paycheck (we both work part-time). We'll be moving in November when our lease is up and still in limbo on what the next step is. We are looking at either renting a house or moving in with my parents. We are both done with apartment living and look forward to being out of here.

That's all the news for now that I am willing to share. Until next time...

Wedding Pictures are here!!!

It's been sometime coming- but a couple of the pictures are here!!

<---- The Family (his mom and son, my parents)

My dad walking me down the "aisle":

Our first pictures together:

My grandma ROCKS!! I was so happy she could be there!!

I never, ever want twins!

So, I started to watch Nola when she was 7 weeks old. She's a doll!! She sleeps all day, is smiling when she is awake! I love it!

Something has changed this week. I now watch another little girl- Sadie. I only watch her 10 hours a week, but those are the longest 10 hours of my week. This kid is whiney, and it's so... annoying. She sleeps for 2 hours a day, so that's not bad. And she is a very active 9 month old. It's kind of nice that Sadie and Nola are on different sleep schedules. Nola goes down for a nap just before Sadie is dropped off- smart kid! By the time it's Sadie's turn to go down for her nap, Nola is up and ready to eat.

I guess it's not as bad as I thought.. could be worse! They could both need my attention at the same time. That day will come, and I'm not looking forward to it! Ugh!
