Back to the grind...

Well after having a FABULOUS 8 weeks off from work (stressing for 4 weeks because we had no where to live, 2 weeks on vacation, and the rest planting my butt on the couch catching up with soaps -haha) I am back to work. I started working for my husband's employer a week ago as the Administrative Assistant to the Community Infrastructure Department...it has been interesting coming from my employer in Texas. It's just different not in a bad or good way...Lots of pros and cons ;)



What's been going on with us? Well really, not a whole lot. Tessa started daycare and that has been very difficult for her, after being home with me 24/7. But she will adjust just like she did before. She was in tears the 2nd day because she wanted to go to work with us. And I thought she didn't really like being with us 24/7. I often wondered if she was bored with me. I always felt like I couldn't keep her occupied long enough.

The weather you ask...

OMG it's much cooler than we are use to for sure. Today I woke up and was wondering what that humming sound was, come to find out our FURNACE kicked on because it had dropped down to 48 degrees last night! Oh I know you are all saying what the heck did you move to Canada for then if you don't like the cold. It's not that I don't like the cold I just thought we would have a few more weeks. I'm not prepared yet. We don't really have any warm clothing yet.

Well back to life...I will try to post some recent funny video's of Tessa.

Trip to Iowa

After traveling almost 3500 miles in 10 day's we are EXHAUSTED!!!

We left for Iowa at 5:30pm on Thursday and arrived in Davenport about 12:30am on Saturday!! We drove straight thru so you add the hours up and it was a LONG trip.

It was a VERY full schedule of events as it always is when we are in the quadcities. With Chris and I from the same city it makes it hard on us to visit all our family and friends. We try as hard as we can to spend equal amounts of time but it just doesn't always work out...

The whole reason we headed home was for Chris grandmother's 80th Birthday!! She is a wonderful lady! She is just one of those people who you are blessed to have in your life. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!

We had such a great time at the farm as we always do. Chris is always at home when he is there. It's always great to see your husband being a character with his family. He makes his uncles laugh...sometimes I just think they think he is nuts!

Here are a bunch of photos from our trip(zoo, farm, and my dad's)


Hope y'all had a great 2 weeks!!
