wow uts been almost a year

well I havent written on her in quite some time apparently May 2009 was my last blog. Well lets get up to date then. I love it here, surprise I know but its nice so does Eric, Jordan is taking her time though. She still misses Tyler, Texas a whole lot and its been hard but I think she is finding some good friends and taking horse riding lesson doesnt hurt either. She wants a horse really really bad, but we would need to move to a new home with at least 5 acres. I did find one but i doesnt have enough bathrooms, I want them to each have there own plus they each have 2 rooms here so I will just keep looking. The weather here has been so cold and we have had ALOT of snow but its different, not the same ole same ole I guess. We are adjusting. The kids are doing great in school, Eric is in middle school, which I like that they have a separate 6th grade principal and 7th/8th grade has their own too. He seems to like it and has made alot of good friends. He is turning 12 in a few days so I am sure he will start acting like a bad teenager, soon but I will take away the XBOX 360 and he will straighten up. We have slowly worked on the house and our bulding a deck in the back today between the rain. Hoping to get a firepit built soon afterwards. Maybe one day a pool or look for a house with a pool, 5 acres, 2 story, lots of rooms, etc.. Jay likes his company and his customers, they seem to go out once a week and even plays golf. And finally me I am excited about starting school on Monday March 29, I am going into Accounting Services. The good thing about that is they have online courses and count as college credits so IF we move I want lose anything. I cant wait for summer I need to make some vacation plans but you know me always procrastinating. Take care everyone and may you trust God that you are where you are meant to be.

its been awhile

well ever since I found facebook i havent gotten on this blog..jordan likes to come on here and listen to the music, so I will problably be on here added some new songs soon...the kids are out of school and we went to houston last week and are going to Tyler next week for jays job and to see my friends...life if okay here in Oklahoma Eric seems to really like it, jordan is not happy with the weather at all...we are putting her passing 1st grade present up today, its a big 18x48 pool for her to enjoy all summer...hopefully it doesnt cause a stir with the association but we will fight them on it..we are growing a garden in the back but abbi keeps digging up a new one every week so not sure how well its going to grow, we may have to enclose it but we are hopeing she will leave it alone now after we scolded her for it but I doubt it..hope everyone has a safe and happy summer cant wait to see some old friends and hope to make new ones...

the oklahoma zoo






Well it was a nice day on saturday before Easter so we headed to the zoo. Since moving here in December the weather has been too cold, wet, windy, etc...but we have been wanting to go to the zoo and decided it was time to go...The zoo is really nice and had lots of different animals to see..the kids liked the bears and jordan said she liked leaving she wasnt 100% that day-starting of a sore throat which is still bothering her today(april 19)..I liked the gorillas and the layout. There is alot more museums and parks we need to check out..We are also going to be going to alot of the lakes with the boat so Eric can kneeboard, so far he has kneeboarded in Texas, Arkansas and now will be Oklahoma we may need to hit every state..Here are some pics

well just a few words...

It has been awhile since I wrote on the blog..Eric celebrated his 11th birthday on Mar 30, he also made 4 A's and 2 B's on his report card...Jordan is doing better in school and she now has a reading specialist helping her but that wasn't easy. A couple on not so nice emails to the principal ,who happens to live across the street, made that happen. I am not thrilled with this school here, I wished we would have never left Tyler they were helping her daily and she was improving. The school here just wasted all that she had learned because of proper paper work. Jay and I are doing okay but I still have my doubts about staying here in Oklahoma I am looking forward to going back to Tyler over the summer and being around my friends again..

Well the kids are on their spring break this week and we didn't get to go anywhere this time. As you can see above we decided to have scoobys tumor removed and I am glad we did. It had gotten alot bigger since we have moved and it was intwined in the muscle so he was not as active. He is doing better everyday and wants to play fetch and play in the water sprinkler. I take him for a walk everday by the pond and I do all I can to keep him out of the water. Patience...
Well we have lived in Oklahoma now for alittle over 3 months and sometimes I catch myself thinking what am I doing here. I will see a Oklahoma license plate and think hey they are here from Oklahoma then I realize we are in Oklahoma. I guess I have moved so often that I never know where I am. Plus just trying to adjust to new surroundings, making new friends I just get to the point of "why bother" I will just leave another set of friends and a home. Maybe one day things will feel like normal until then just go along for the ride. I know that I could always go back to Tyler and be fine....

this week

Well lets see, Valentines day was nice I am getting a bench w/ hangers above, cabinets and a rod to hang clothes on built in my laundry room hopefully next week. We got the sod put down yesterday and I have been watering alot. I cannot wait to get out there and play football with Eric no more muddy shoes. Our new neighbors are here and they are building their fence tomorrow. so we will decide on the kind we want very soon. I want a short one so we can still talk with our neighbors behind us. Eric is making lots of friends he just found out another one of his friends from class lives in this neighborhood he is spending the night over there tonight. They moved here from Pennsylvania shortly before we did, even got the house I wanted to look at. Eric said he likes ours better so it made it better. Well hopefully soon we will get to go do some things around here. The weather should start to warm up. We want to go to the Museums, Zoo, Aquarium and Hiking. We need to do some 3 day trips too so I have to start working on those.
