Good News and Bad News

Time to pack and get everything ready! We were approved today and got the house on 113th Ave and Bell. We will be moving August 14th and so excited. And it will be $900 less then we thought for move in costs!! thats $900 we can put in savings!! :) I cant wait, well anyone what to come pack for me. I hate this part of moving. Or at least come give me company to help encourage me to keep packing! :)

We also found out today that Trevor's medical waiver with the Army was denied so that means he will most likely be discharged medically. Trevor is way sad and isnt sure how to feel. I keep telling him we will be okay and that maybe the Lord doesnt want him to do this, cause he got gout 3 days before he was to leave, then in june we found out we wouldnt have a babysitter while he was gone, then we had to put out alot of money on our truck to be fixed, and then the whole have to move thing. I think if this all happened and he was gone I would have gone nuts and probably have a really hard time with everything and figuring out what to do. So I am sure things are happening for a reason, we may not see it now but we will.

So thats the latest with us! we love you all and thanks for all the love and support and help you all have given us these last few months!! we appreciate it tremendously! :)

Packing and Moving....

Oh how I hate it... but it has to come... Let me just start back at Wednesday of last week. Things are going great we are driving to get Family Pictures done by an amazing photographer... http://shaynacollierphotography.blogspot.com/ and we heard a wierd noise coming from under the hood of the truck so I pulled over when i could and Trevor got out and check everything out from what he could see there wasnt anything wrong all the belts were fine and all. So we went on to our appointment. Well on the way home it got worse and so we decided we should take it in. So thursday after I got off work Trevor and his buddy took it to the shop. Well we find out we need $1500 worth of work done. You say holy cow, what happened well let me tell you. We need to replace the ac compressor and all that. Well we dont have $1500 at the moment so he gave us a nice tune up, did flushes on everything and replaced all the belts and did his best to make it where the compressor will last us a few more months til we can get the money to replace it and did all this work for $600. Well it still makes the noise and will til we replace the compressor. Well then later that night we get even more bad news and added stress. We have to move. My parents have to sell the house. :( well since we would no longer be paying them but someone else we decided we will just move ASAP. So after lots of crying stressing and praying we have looked at houses and talked about what we are going to do this weekend and I feel a little better about things. We seen a few but saw one we really liked today at 113th Ave and Bell and going to apply for it on wednesday and hope to get it. So we are starting to pack everything up which I HATE doing so then I dont have to rush at the last minute and we will keep looking just incase this one I LOVE doesnt work out. But if we do get this house we will be moving on the 14th of August so get ready to help us pack up and move!! :) We are sad that we have to move but excited to have our own place. We have made so many friends but hope that just cause we are moving doesnt have to mean we will stop being friends... So I will update you all on wednesday about whether we got the house or not. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

THANKS FOR THE HELP AND SUPPORT!!

Our Little Piano player

When I walked in the door after work yesterday this is what I came in to.


She climbed up there all by her self and was playing music. She LOVES to play on the piano! Looks like we will have a piano player on our hands!! :) But on a sad note she has learned out to climb up on everything including kitchen chairs then she will proceed to climb up onto the table. Oh how I love this age! :)

Dbacks Baseball Game

We were offered some tickets from one of my coworkers on Wednesday, so I called Trevor to see if he wanted to take the kids to the game he said heck ya. But we had nana watch Lily since she doesnt like to sit still for very long. Carsyn and Amaya were so excited to go! They were really good and sat thru all nine innings!! :) We bought them hotdogs, nachos and cotton candy! And the Dbacks won!!

First Week of Babysitting

So Monday June 29th we started babysitting for our friends Dan and Melissa they have a 2 1/2 year old girl-Amaya! Monday thru Friday 620am to 3pm well I should say Trevor has been since I am still working. It has been lots of fun and she is really good, and Carsyn & Amaya get along really good so thats always a plus! I just cant wait til I quit cause I have lots of fun things we are going to do!! :) Here are a few pictures of them playing:

They love to play on the piano
