A lot goes on in a week...

Well, a lot has happened since my post last week!

Like I said, I started a second job and boy has it been a rollercoaster! I'm still learning how to handle each kid and they are still trying to get to know me. Yesterday however was probably my favorite day of all. When I arrived at the house, the kids were being put down for a nap because for some reason they didn't have one at pre-school. Well Maddie ended up sleeping the whole time I was there, which was great, but little Blake just made my week. He woke up after like 15 minutes... not a good sign. And of course since he didn't get a full nap, he was incredibly cranky so I let him bring his little Nemo stuffed animal out into the living room to play with while his sister was sleeping. Well we were playing with blocks and I look over and he is just nodding of and it only took about 5 more minutes before Nemo became a pillow on my lap and he was snoring haha. It was so cute! Little kids look so sweet when they sleep. So my whole afternooon consisted of me watching Grey's Anatomy while the kids slept. Bliss.

So the only day that I work a full day away from home is on Friday's... well... I leave Sadie at home all the time by herself, and she has never torn anything up except her pee pads because she stays in the kitchen and I learned pretty quickly to spray Bitter Apple (the best best best stuff ever invented that keeps dogs from chewing on things) all over the baseboards and cabinets so she wouldnt chew on them. Well this particular Friday was the first time I ever left her for an extended period of time, meaning like whole entire day, a full 9 hours. I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say she got angry... because she chewed a giant whole in the kitchen floor. ... ... ... yes... ... ... a whole. In the floor. She will be coming to babysit with me this Friday.

Seriously Sadie??? ---->


Well in my last post I also talked about how Tim and I bought our first married vehicle. When we went to pick it up last Friday, it sadly wasn't ready and so tomorrow is the day that we get our car!!!! We are so stinking anxious! I seriously cannot wait! (Which means we are also selling our sweet Kia spectra if y'all are intersted... you know you want one.) But anyways, I'll post pics of the new car on Thursday :) yay Audi!

We also had a garage sale with the family on Saturday... guess who made the most money.... My parents.... Who weren't even there. They left a bunch of stuff for Adam and I to sell for them... Please tell me how we ended taking most of our stuff home and they sold everything?!??! Thats the last time I try to sell my college stuff with my parents fancy stuff. But, I did make quite a bit of money taking my old clothes to Plato's Closet. Although it took the poor people like an hour to go through my HUGE bin of clothes, but hey, that's their job right? :)


Well, I think that's all for now... Hope you all have a blessed day!!! :)

Sorry I stink at blogging....

Ok... so I am officially the worst blogger ever... and therefore, I make it an early new years resolution to start being better. sound good? :)

soooo here's what has been going on lately....

tim is loving his job downtown working with limerock! he is currently working in tech support but is training and studying to get certified to be the database admin. he is adjusting to houston really well and i love that we're back here!

i decided to go brunette, and it looked pretty good actually but after about a month i gave up on being different and decided to be me... which is definitely blonde lol. i just couldn't handle what it takes to be brunetter i guess :) but it was definitely a fun experiment. i am still working in marketing and have also taken on a second part time job as a nanny for some adorable little twins! today was my first day with them and i think once we warm up to each other it is going to be a super fun job! i think kids really teach us a lot about ourselves and they help to remind us that life is only as serious as we decide to take it.

on another note, tim and i are now the proud owners of a new, pre-owned, audi a4 quattro!!! i promise to post pics soon, but we don't actually pick it up until tomorrow morning so you will have to be patient!!! :) but it is a beautiful car and we feel very blessed that God has made this opportunity available for us!

sadie is doing well, she is growing like CRAZY! she is super duper hyper, and totally precious. she recently got spayed which i think had to be the saddest thing i have ever seen, but she is all healed up now and back to running around like crazy and chewing up anything she can get her little teeth on. her chew toys of choice these days tend to be socks, my oven mits, and anything that can be torn into shreads (i.e. receipts, paper, paper towels, toilet paper... you get the picture)

we leave for spokane in about 2 weeks and we are very excited to get to spend some quality time with the newbill family! we truly wish they lived closer, but we are thankful for the time we do get to spend with them around the holidays every year!

and last but not least, i have been "reunited," i guess you could say, with a very good friend of mine from high school, seresa, and she has introduced me to some fabulous girls who have all become my very good friends :) and tim and i love hanging out with this great group of people! we will even be taking a cruise with them in may! we love you guys! thanks for being such great friends!

well... i think that should have us all caught up on life so far! i really need to do better at this! y'all help remind me to blog!!!!! :)

with love,

the newbills
