The Very Best Valentine
Well, I hate to do it, but I have to brag a little about my valentine. I got a call last night from Antonio at 11:00 P.M. which isn't unusual. We chatted a little and then he asked me if i was dressed. I said,"Yes I am dressed, Why." Then He said,"Go put your shoes on and go look outside, and i got a little freaked out (I'm a little skiddish) and said"Why" and the added "Are you out there," He replied, " No baby but I wish I was, just trust me." I said" It's pouring rain out there" and he said "just go out there". So i stepped out on the porch and said "OK, there is nothing out here" and he told me to run my little happy bum to the mailbox. So here i am in all my glory at 11:00 at night in the pouring rain running to the mailbox and i open it up to find three beautiful roses placed there by his "secret friend." He is so wonderful, this has to be the top valentines gift to date. OK I am done now. I hope everyone has a fun day.

Same Old Same Old
Well there is not much new going on here, but I thought I would just write about everyday life. This week has been a pretty good week. I have managed to get up at 7:00 am everyday and feel really good. I started reading Kevin Trudeau's book "Natural Cures they don't want you to know about". I started implementing some of his suggestions and feel as thought they are working well. This week we've also managed to do a little school each day. Ashlyn's brain is growing so much. She can read two of her beginning readers books and she recognizes several words. We were reading the other night and she was able to pick out the words she new from the story. It is great to see progress! She feels so proud when she knows words.
The house is not moving quite as quickly as I want it to, but I have never built a house so I might just be rushing it. The cupboards finally arrived. I stopped in yesterday and they were setting out all over the house, not yet installed. Unfortunately there was water damage on the backs of two. So the realtor is getting that sorted out. Hopefully it wont slow things too much. The good news is the appraiser said that it is worth about $13,000 more that we are paying for it. That was definitely encouraging. Please keep us in your prayers they get it completed correctly and efficiently. Take care

Our New House
This is our new house in Richlands, NC. It's a new construction outside of town. I am really excited to get moved in. We are going over tomorrow to see how everything is going. They are supposed to have the kitchen cabinets installed by tomorrow and the plumber should be out next week. There is alot more space and a bonus room that has already been deemed "The School Room". Ashlyn came to me the other day telling me that she wanted to paint footprints on our walls. An idea popped in my head that we should do that to decorate the school room. The plan so far is that we will do footprints right above the base boards (cause i need all the other wall space) and handprints around the windows. I think it will be really cute. But we probably wont tackle that till daddy comes home. The thought of monitoring children w/ paint all over hands and feet really terrifies me at this time in my life. Anyways just a little glimps into our future.
