Homeownership

This one time, I thought Rome was built in a day....and in my head when you buy a house furniture and decor magically appear and your whole house is pretty within the first couple weeks....

WRONG. haha

For Christmas though I got a couch for my family room that has been empty for 6 months and then i found a smoking deal on another couch matching perfectly.


So for my birthday my mom got me two matching side tables and my husband got me hobby lobby money and new pillows for the couches and slowly by surely my house is coming together...



I also finalized some kitchen decor. and got my moms beautiful door she made me hanging and decorated :)
 Kitchen Decor ^^
Shelf is decorated finally :)

Huston's new Job and our Trip to Utah

Huston got HIRED with BIOTRONIK finally. This has been his goal since he completed his internship almost two years ago. He's excited to start doing what he loves again and not being stuck in an office all day. With his hire came a trip to Oregon. He had to go to headquarters (AGAIN) to take two tests for certification. We have been extremely blessed and feel strongly like the Lord has constantly been guiding us in this direction. Huston almost took a job in December for a physician group of 7 and it would of been an incredible opportunity for him to manage their practice, however we didn't feel right about it and sadly turned down the job. A month later he was offered this job and signed a contract in writing FINALLY :) .... To get to stay in AZ is kind of a big deal for us. Especially with this company... I couldn't be more proud of how hard Huston works. He does everything he can for us.

While he was in Oregon for training I took off work and spent two weeks playing with my parents and mother in law.

My parents and I went to Lakeside. I bought a car... my dream car. A reliable one. She's pretty.



Sadly had to say goodbye to my buddy of 7 years almost, minus a few years in Hawaii.




We played and enjoyed amazing weather :) Maylie was obsessed with all the animals and being outside. We even made a short trip to St. Johns to see my cousin Shelly and her girls.










After Lakeside Maylie and I flew to Utah. Marlie was obsessed with the plane ride... she LOVED it. We had the best time being spoiled with our time by Mom (Gammy Candi) Maylie knew it was a trip just to see her other grandparents and she was obsessed. We went shopping, to the aquarium, saw Cinderella, at yummy food, cooked together, rested, played, took beautiful drives, and many trips to the park with May. Gammy and Papa Jay treated us well. :)





















Adventure Day

My sister in law and I got pregnant and the same time, and just outta the stretch of the first trimester she and I were craving some serious adventure while the weather was still good :)

We planned a hike in the morning and then we went riding in the desert all day and cooked out by the lake. It was an awesome day, however we were exhausted by the days end.

Amanda kept me laughing because old people on our hike were passing us. It was hilarious the comments she was making. I kept reassuring her, its fine because we are pregnant.  Funny thing is, nor she, or I looked pregnant at the time because it was pretty early. She was worried that old people were passing young people on the hike :)

It was the perfect day as far as weather goes :) Just love this little family of mine, nature, and great siblings we get to play with all the time.
