Just because

It's been a few months, so I just wanted to pop in and update.  2013 has still proven to be a crap year, but I am still determined that it will get better.  I mean...it HAS to get better.  It's only March!  I will be starting another blog for some of the issues that we have been facing.  It will be a private blog and if you are really that interested, then let me know and you can follow it if you'd like. 

So back to the updates...we are moving!  We are staying in Prosper, but will be moving to a different neighborhood into a slightly bigger house with a HUGE yard!  Our dogs will be so excited!  (Only if we can get them off the couch....)  The kids are super excited and I am happy about it, but slightly overwhelmed.  I hate moving.  I knew I hated moving, but this morning I decided to start packing and got three boxes into it before I "took a break".  I also realized that I completely underestimated the amount of boxes we need....  The house we bought is in need of some updates.  I'm not sure why they built the house in 2005 with fixtures from the 80s.  Not a good look, in my opinion!  We will be putting in new floors and updating the kitchen pretty quickly and then hopefully doing projects as we go.  I think it will be a great little place by the time we are done with it!  It's a little sad, since we did some updating to our current house (thank you 2011 hail storm!) and now we have to leave.  However, I'm not really sad about leaving here at all!  It's too dang small!  Yay for more space!  I'll try to post some photos of our progress once we start doing our projects.

As for the kids, not much has changed.  Bryden is still super involved in sports.  He's playing soccer and baseball right now.  His first baseball game of the season is tomorrow and I am super excited!  I love baseball season!  Soccer is not my fave, but I'm trying to get on board with it because it seems like he may be in it for the long haul.  He's decided he's "going pro".  Lol.  That kid has some serious ego issues.  ;)  Aeson is also playing soccer!  It's awful!  I don't know why he even wanted to play it again, since he despised it last year.  I think he kind of likes it this season, but he doesn't exactly play.  The other kids actually get out there and run and seem to know what they are doing, while my sweet boy just kind of runs around and stays somewhat in the vicinity of the other players.  He won't get near the ball though.  Every now and then in practice he will give it a little kick..but only when he's told to.  He really needs a new activity.  Any ideas? 

I guess I should get back to figuring out my packing situation.  Did I mention I hate moving?
