Wow it been forever since I posted. I am going to tyr and keep up since this is like my life journal! The waiting game is over. Even though it felt like forever before we got our income tax money back, it really only took a month an half. Thank goodness! So, now that we have spent all the money on things for the house our adventure of stress is over. We absolutely love our new house!!! We call it new because it really feels new after the hardwood floor, fence, couch and a new washer and dryer. God has truly blessed us. It will be a year, yes a YEAR in May that we have moved into our home. Doesn’t that sound crazy? It doesn’t feel like it has been that long but like everyone says, “time flies when your having fun!” I bet your wanting to know how do the dogs like the fence, the hardwood floor and couch because both our daily lives have changed. The fence is AWESOME. Gator & Roxy love to play, dig, eat the grass, poop A LOT ( poop duty is what Luis and I ask each other to clean up the mess twice a week.), chase birds and bugs, play fetch and sun bathe. The hardwood is beautiful but the dogs nails are loud. Gator is always walking around because he can’t keep comfortable. Why?? Because they are not allowed on the couch anymore. Everyone said, “your never going to be able to break that habit” But we did. The dogs haven’t been on the couch at all. It is very nice when we have guest over. So get ready guest to come over!!!
We keep asking ourselves what is next.. Luis had his last college class Tuesday 4/20 and will be graduating May 21st to become an Electrician!!! Congrats honey!!!! Now we just need him to pass the big big exam to be able to go any where to work and make better money.
But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exhalted. Matthew 23:12

Waiting!!!
It's that time of year that everyone hates to file and then hates waiting to get their money back. INCOME TAX! All I have to say is thank you Obama even though it's probably putting us more into debt it will relieve tons from stress from our lives. lol
We filed on Thursday but I had to mail the income tax papers for the first time ever. Which did you know it takes 4 to 6 wks before you can even check to see if they have received it and then 4 to 6 wks to get your refund back. All I keep telling myself is I have waited this long to get a fence I guess I can wait a little longer. We are super excited since we will receive the first time home buyer credit. We have agreed since it is for us buying a house we will use it towards the home. We are going to purchase hardwood floors, a fence, resoding the front and a doggie door. The fence is a must because the dogs need a space to run which is the whole reason we bought a home. The hardwood floors you can say there not a must but if you were to come see the carpet, your first reaction would be YUCK! The floors are just going in the main living area (living room, entry way, kitchen and hallways). This year we will be improving more and more. Our plan is to paint the kicthen, add a back splash and hopefully start the in the guest bathroom. It's going to be an exciting year just like last year.
Before and after pictures to come!!!

First time apart after the wedding!
This week has been a hard week for Luis and I. I left Wednesday Jan 13 for NC to visit my brother and sister, so it was the first time we have been apart from each other since we got married. We have done really well but it definetaly was a change. I will be leaving Monday night 1/18 which I don't want to leave but at the same time I can't wait to see my husband.
Any who, while I have been here it he has been home taking care of the dogs and the house. And me you ask, Wednesday I got here in the evening and to a surprise that my was awesome. My brother and sister both picked me up which was very sweet. Thursday, we hung out around the houses and I played with all my nephews and nieces. If you didn't know my brother and sister live on the same base, same neighborhood and the best they our neighbors. Friday, I went ice skating with Andrew, Leigh, Curtis, Andie and Erin (The D'Amicos)...Then, I babysat for Brooke and Matt while they ran some errands. Saturday, all the sisters (Brooke, Leigh and me) went to get mani's, pedi's and massages. Which was awesome!!! Thank you Brooke!!!
Today, I went to church with The D'Amicos and came back to play hair with Andie and Erin. Tomorrow we will just take it easy and be at the airport by 5 pm. I am so sad to leave but happy to see Luis and our dogs.
