Well, I decided it was time for an update....Whats new??
We have had a nice summer, but is all seems but a blur. It has gone by so fast. I am working for Matt Herrera selling Real Estate and am enjoying that. Matt is quite the "kick" and keeps things entertaining and far from boring. I am working out of my home so I can be with my kids. It is a great opportunity. Matt does the majority of the field work and I assit him with paperwork and prospecting. I love the fall months and am ready for the change is seasons. Jim is less than a month away from getting his journey mens license as an electrician. He has been busy working and we are VERY much looking forward to the pay increase from apprentice to journeymen. I am so proud of him and am glad that he has a trade to always fall back on. Being an electrician is not his calling or life long dream,but it will be a great tool for him to have and will aways be useful. I look forward to seeing what God has in store long term for him. As for now I will enjoy the journey. Lexi and Matthew are both wonderful!! They both warm my heart and I can't help but be overwhelmed with them. They keep me busy and are my constant entertainment. They are at very active ages and life is so full of adventure for them at these stages. Lexi will be three in less than two months. It is so hard to believe and fun to see her grow right before my eyes. She is learning to talk and express herself so well. She loves people and friends very much. I love how she narrates life and how she inteprets things. She has got quite the imagination and can come up with some wild scenarios. I like that that I can hold a conversation with her. Matthew, oh! what a sweetie.... He is the cuddliest little guy and such a happy camper. He goes along with everything. He is a balance of easygoing and fiesty, perhaps like his mom! He is newly weaned from the bottle, except for bedtime. He amazed me how he just adjusts to change. I weaned Lexi at the same age, but weaned her at bedtime first. I for some eason did the reverse with Matthew and it seemed to work well. We bought a house!!! We close tommorow. I am really excited. We have been renting for the past two years and I am ready to feel a bit more settled. It is on a piece of commercial property in Covington. This was Jims big motivation, he is hoping we will be bought out in a few years. We have been watching the commercial property in one of the neighborhoods for awhile and have missed a few deals. We decided we would go for this one and we got it!!! It is much better than a few of the others ones Jim was checking out and I was praying I wouldnt have to live in. This weekend we are removing the carpet and having the wood floors underneath refinished, and painting. We will do a few other updates and hopefully move in next weekend - hurray!!!
I have posted pictures from our summer and of our house below.
