Happy Birthday Owen!
WOW!! My firstborn boy is 4!! 4! I cannot believe that he is 4! How many times in this post can I say 4?? :) It is so true that our little ones grow up so fast. I feel like it was yesterday that I was holding him in my tired arms and feeling so full of love and so incredibly thankful that he was finally here and was healthy. Owen is a tremendous blessing to our lives. He has made it fun, exhausting, crazy, eventful, precious, scary, happy, and purely wonderful. He is not always easy, but he is always worth it. We were truly blessed by God to have been given such a full and vibrant gift! We love you Owen!

The First Week!
So, we have been in our new place 1 week now! A very long week! It has been good. Better than I thought actually. I was really worried that the boys would have trouble adjusting, but they love it here! It helped that we had their room totally unpacked and decorated before they came home from Grammy and Papa's house. Thank you G &P!
As I am unpacking and getting things organized in our new home, I have been making a mental list of things I love and don't love, and miss and don't miss about our old and new homes and area. I think I am actually surprised about some of the things!
Things I Miss About The Old House:
Mandy
Carrie
Lynn
Marie
All the kiddos
The close parking spot
The courtyard
The borrowing system! :)
The close mailboxes
Things I don't miss:
The Roaches...yes, I said roaches!
The loud hoodlums...not sure if that is how you spell it!
The laundry room
Cigarette butts
The lack of storage
The kitchen
Things I Love:
The washer and dryer!!! I think that I have done almost 15 loads!
The kitchen!
The master bedroom!
The storage!
The kiddie park!
The paint colors!
The newness of the unit and complex
Basically the whole house!
Winco!
How friendly the people are!
That John leaves 1 hour later, and is home 1 hour earlier!
Things I Don't Love:
The far away parking spot
The far away mailboxes
The far away rent drop box
The large amount of people
The pantry...there isn't one!
The stairs...my legs are killing me!
The gate system...you have to have a landline to buzz someone in!
I think that for the most part, I am going to really like it here! Thank you Lord for this blessing!
