i know i know... i haven't blogged for a while. ever since the basement flooded things have been so busy and crazy in our lives i really haven't had time and if i did have time i was way to tired.....
sooooo.... things are great.
first of all i love my job. i love the people i work with, i love the company, i love the money, i love it all. i miss the airport from time to time but i think this was a great move for me. i have made some amazing friends, and i really love what i do. i was so scared about having a phone job but things are great. it is fun and interesting. i love it. i love my job! just when i think it can't get any better it does. i was lucky enough to grab some overtime... lots of overtime. dusty has been amazing. he knows that i am working my butt off and he has been so great about making sure the chores are done and corbin is happy. he is amazing... as usual.
corbin has been doing great. it still shocks me when he says a new word or learns something new. he started counting yesterday. i just can't believe it. my baby! my toddler! aahhh! i have a toddler. it seems like not too long ago i was pregnant and miserable and now corbin is counting! OMG!
we are planning on you guessed it... wendover for my birthday. we were going to go to reno and try something new but i figured wendover is less stress. quick, easy, free room, free food. i can't wait. i am also going to get my hair cut (which is a big deal because i my hair dresser is not cheap!), i am going to get my pedicure, get a gym pass, i really want a nook color too... we'll see.
we have made a decision that after my birthday we are going to buckle down and get crackin. there are soooo many things we want to do to our house and i have a personal checklist of things i want done before we get pregnant again so we need to get moving. i don't care if we have to wait 3 more years, i am hell bent on being ready for this baby! corbin was a complete surprise. which was great, however! this time i want to be ready! i can finally paint a nursery and decorate and do whatever i want. i want to have our new carpet and new living room furniture. i just want it perfect.
one thing that i have been stressing about for NO reason is corbin going to school. i know that i should start thinking about it now. we want to put him in a private school til he gets into junior high so i want to start shopping around and find what will be best. he is a smart cookie and i want him to be in an enviornment that will nurture that.
i started playing softball. it has been so much fun! i play on the fraud team for amex. i love it. i didn't realize how much i missed it until i was back out there on the field. it brings back so many great memories. softball was my escape when i was younger and now it is just nice to have something that i only do for me. i can't wait til dusty can come watch a game! he has never seen me play before so i can't wait.
things have been busy. we haven't really had time to do anything fun together as a family. we are making sacrifices right now for the future. i know why i work so much, i know why dusty works so much... we do it all for corbin. we own our own home... to do that you have got to be willing to sacrifice. we work opposite shifts so corbin only needs a sitter one day a week now. is it fun not ever seeing eachother? of course not! BUT it is more important to me that corbin is with at least one of us 6 days a week and that we work enough to not only afford our bills but save money, plan trips, have fun. sometimes in life you have just got to grow up. being an adult isn't fun. its not fun paying a mortgage but nothing beats owning your own home. its not fun working all the time but corbin is always with one of his parents. we have it figured out. i would love to go out and go shopping all the time, and go out all the time, and spend instead of save all the time but that is not going to get me anywhere.
so for right now we are just trying to get my birthday figured out, get ahead on bills, and make a list of priorities for the house and start checking things off. we have a plan. we know what we want. we are driven enough that we usually get it.
