WHEW!

Y'all guys, ohemgee yall guys, WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! It's ours. I can not begin to tell you the elation that we feel being in a home of our own! It is seriously the greatest. We have been going non-stop since closing, but we are like >< this close to having everything put away, organized, decorated.

Closing day was a little crazy, as the lender had the wrong totals on our 'cash due' so we had to get all that straightened out, but seriously, we wouldn't know what to do with ourselves if anything in our life went off without a hitch.

We closed on Friday, June 30th and got everything moved that day, got up at 4am on the 1st and headed to Lake Eufaula in Oklahoma for our annual 'get the hell out of town and be crazy with all my Arkansas peeps' trip. It was wonderful and a much needed escape from reality. We came back to Amarillo on the 5th, and have been wildly unpacking and getting settled since then.

We are madly, madly, MADLY in love with our home. It's quiet and peaceful. When the wind isn't blowing, you can literally hear the electricity buzzing from the pole at the road. We get to look at the skyline of Amarillo every evening and not be in the middle of town. The neighborhood is full of precious people, someone even came by and brought us brownies, and our littles have made friends already. It's perfect. We love it. I could go on for days.



We are grateful/thankful/joyful that we got to work with 29:11 Homes to get our dream home built for us. If you are looking, or thinking about looking to build, you should definitely contact them. And hey! They just revamped their website, and if you click on their name above, it will take you right to it.

I know I really owe you a longer update, but kids, I've still got stuff I need to get settled! More photos to be uploaded so you can take a peek at their work.

Chat Soon!

I did it!

Remember last year when I went on and on about why I couldn't finish any of my books that I had started? When I had a plan to write so many words per day to finish my book, and how I had figured out what I was missing? Well, its done. I finished it. 192,327 words. I did it. And I'm not sharing it with you. at all. I worked on it for months making it about someone else, but the story, my story, was so painful and it left me raw and angry and dark; I simply couldn't pretend it was someone else's story. So, you know what I did? I wrote honestly. I used the real names and literal events. I wrote down every single thing, regardless of who did what to whom, regardless of whose fault things were and I got it all out. 192,327 words of it. It was the most cathartic experience of my life and it took me so much longer than I thought it would. Sometimes I would write for hours, and it left me so drained I'd have to leave it for weeks, re-healing wounds, putting it all...

TWENTYEIGHTEEN Y'ALL GUYS!

Y'all. How has another year already gone by? And seriously, has it really been almost five months since I blogged last? What the actual F?!? Where did 2017 go? I wasn't done kicking ass and taking names yet... honestly though, I'm not even a little sad its over. I got a whole new freaking year to kill it. Right? I'm pretty sure I have hit those years that my parents used to talk about 'time flying'. SLOW DOWN. Or, you know, speed the hell up, like, get me right to retirement, I'm moving to Honduras! jaykay, jaykay. I am loving all the kids, and soaking up all the memories. I know. It only happens once. all that. So many of my high school friends/acquaintances have either just had their last baby, or are about to. And I'll be honest, I'm super jealous. There have been tears. Many. And I don't even like to cry. But then, I start doing some simple math, and I'm like, I will not even be 45 yet when my youngest graduate high school... y'all ...

#allthethangs

Near the end of 2016, one night while Stephen and I were lying in bed, I told him, "2017 is going to be our year. I can feel it. I know it. We are going to have all tha thangs," and then last night, he reminded me of this and *GASP* told me I was right! This year has been wild, but this summer has been bountifully, overwhelmingly perfect. Obviously, you know we closed on our home, which was hitting the biggest goal we have had for the last (almost) four years. We also bought a new vehicle, which we desperately needed, but were holding out until after we closed on our home, you know, 'just in case'. There is something else  that we have been wishing/hoping/praying for since I've known Stephen, and it has finally come to fruition. She's here y'all, and not just for her required 42 days this summer. She's here. She is going to school here, I just dropped her off for her first day this morning. She is making friends, learning to drive, and buildi...
