I'm Back!

I know it has been forever since I last posted. Life has been so busy and I can never seem to take time to sit and blog real quick. Hopefully, I will get better about it. So much has happened since I last posted about Will turning 2! Here it goes...

* I started my new job with St. Charles Parish Public Schools and have enjoyed it so much! It is definitely different than Texas and a lot more paperwork but the people that I work with are wonderful. I love that it is a smaller school district and everyone knows you some way or the other. It's very small town.

* On August 29th, Hurricane Issac hit LaPlace. It was not expected to cause the damage that it did. Lots of family and friends lost everything in their home. Most of my parents neighbors lost everything. It was all so sad watching people close to you go through something so horrible. My aunt and uncle, who also watches the boys, lost everything! My mom, dad, Travis, and myself have all been taking time until my aunt starts watching the boys along with their cousins again at our house in October until their house is finished. LaPlace will come back...it always does!

* As of yesterday, Travis resigned from his job. His last day is Friday which means NO MORE TRAVELING!!!  My dad got him on as a contractor through Shell so he can enroll in school next August. After 6 years of us being together, this will be the first time that we are ever together every single night. It is a whole new realm for us but we are so excited to be together as a family every single day.It was a tough decision for him because he loved working for Cyprexx and the people. However, he has missed most of Will's last two years and he didn't want to do the same with JT. He wanted to be home with his kids and be more present which I can completely understand and plus it does take a toll on a marriage when your spouse is gone 5 days out of the week and only home on the weekends.

* JT turned 6 months on September 8th! I can't believe that he is at the half way mark of turning 1! This first year is going so fast. He is happy ALL the time..day or night and even after waking up from sleep. He has started to crawl so he is EVERYWHERE but it is fun!

So, all in all that has been our life lately. We are busy with two boys and jobs but I wouldn't trade a single day of it. This is what it's all about and I try to soak in every minute with my children.
