For those of you who don’t know my best friend from high school, Jody, her husband Will, passed away on April 16th. They were married for almost 9 years.

So I just wanted to ask all my friends and family to say a little prayer for Jody and her two beautiful daughters (Kaleigh, 6 and Madison, 5), that they can keep their heads up, be strong, and know that they are loved in this trying time.

Time to do some updating… Lord it has been TOOOO long… This one is for Jody (although I told ya all this last night…)

House- We are in the house finally, still got some issues to work out but we are in. Our old house is half gone, and the other half should go away today, at least it was moved to the point were it could be moved out today even if it rained (which it did last night). I will put up more pictures when I get the chance to take some new good ones.

Lisa- We are full swing into potty training… Not going quite so well, but its because someone has decided to be lazy and be like, oh mom and dad will take care of this I don’t have to do anything. Ha, I don’t think so. But Jody gave me some great ideas last night, that we are going to try and practice this weekend, see what happens.

She is growing like a little weed. Pants and shoes shrink every day! She is quite a little mimic. She can say just about anything she hears. Then the questions come… Where sun? Where Daddy? Where Gracie go? What’s that? What’s this? Need I go on… She loves to read, and draw. Color, Mommy, Color, ‘mon mommy color!!! she demands on a regular basis…

She adjusted well to the move up the hill though. Only real hurdle is the bathtub, that she absolutely HATES now. You would think we were trying to cut her legs off the way she screams… So we are going to try and work on that this weekend as well.

Me- Well my job has gotten a little stressful. I have added duties right now that make things a bit crazy, but I get over time for working on them, so at least there is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Now if I could just find a bit of light in my office… all these stacks of papers are making it hard for the light to get in.

Also I got accepted into the Graduate Program at UT. So I am now going for my Masters in Science Education. I will take my first Grad class this summer. Kinda Scary!

Ok so yeah, I think thats about it…

Oh I did post more pictures of Miss Lisa on her site. They were taken with my cell phone camera so not the best quality but…

Well I spent the weekend painting Lisa’s room in the new house. Friday I painted it pink. Then on Saturday my co-worker Judith came and helped me stencil and paint flowers on the wall. Then today I finished the flowers and stenciled and painted some butterflies. Tomorrow night I will add a border at about chair rail height. The colors and flowers and such came off a rug that Lisa picked out herself at Lowes over two months ago. Here are some pictures

We have electricity at the house! YAY. If it wasn’t supposed to snow tomorrow we would probably get water and foundation work, but that might have to wait till Thursday. But its looking good. The inside is amazing!

You know the drill with the pictures!

We passed inspection today, so hopefully we will get power hooked up tomorrow (Not sure if they can do that in the rain or not…) But the inside is almost 90% done. They have the doors hung in I think all of the rooms. SO they are done with the Master suite and the other bedrooms. They still have a bit of work in the living room and dining room, but other than that its looking really good. So power tomorrow, maybe water on Wednesday and things are looking good for a move in of either this weekend or next. Yay. Heres the start of the new pictures. You know the drill. The first three are from the weekend, the rest are from tonight. They were taken with my camera phone so the resolution is not so great.
