On a cold winter morning.

guess what we did this morning? we had a riot.
i worked last night from 10:00 to this morning at 7:30 + then caught a few hours of zzz’s before i had to get breakfast going. my mom just got home from Peru so navy spent the night with her. this morning was good, work, waffles, snuggles + then Sawyer wanted some milk. so out came the mickey sippy, only this time Sawyer did NOT want the lid on it. we argued back + forth + even though I had spent the past two days + countless hours cleaning my carpets i caved + settle for a straw. hell hath no fury like a toddler who doesn’t get his way. literally minutes after I walked away I heard, “oops, i sorry mommy.” I turned around + a whole glass of milk all over my fresh carpets. i instantly shot up, wiped some tears, grabbed the carpet cleaner and started to wipe up the mess. last night, after cleaning the carpet i was running late to work and left the cleaner as is + this morning i remembered i didn’t dump the dirty water out so i pulled the bucket out, ran to the kitchen + the bottom of the container snapped out + TWO gallons of filthy water spilled all over my carpet, arrow and my kitchen floor. + on top of all of that after hearing the crash + a few choice words, sawyer  came sprinting into the kitchen, slipped, + fell in the filthy water.
So let’s recap,  laboriously clean carpet, lidless sippy, spilled milk, spilled dirty water, filthy puppy + infant, + a new bag of dog food, drowned in the mess + a broken carpet cleaner.
Then there is me. Just a wreck.
First, i called blake, because i needed a hug.
Second, i called my mom to see if she could keep navy.
Third, i collected + convinced myself the world hadn’t come to a stop, + got to work.
i couldn’t afford to have dirty puppies running around so, we killed two birds with stone and they took a bath together!
And guess what else, i fixed the carpet cleaner + got everything cleaned up!
Today was a riot. But, we survived.

i'm blogging again?

Thanksgiving 2015

Oh hey there! its just me. nothing too exciting. giving this whole blogging thing a go, again. wish me luck!

i’m sitting here wondering why i even made the switch, when lets be honest, i don’t really blog. not because i dont want to but mainly because i really don’t have the time (or so i keep telling myself). because in all seriousness over here, the only extra time i have laying around is already pre-reserved for sleep. i really do enjoy blogging, i wish i had a bit more to blog about but most of our adventures fall within our front doors.
with that being said i’m thinking about picking up the whole blog again just so i can have a place to categorize and organize the many pictures i take on the daily. that, and sawyer is too hilarious not to share.
so lets get this boat floatin! as of late life has been quite the rollercoaster. i’m talking some pretty serious highs and lows over here. i feel like our last months adventure should be bullet pointed. here goes…

• blake got a new job! he was feeling a bit restless at his current job + not really thinking much of it, he applied for a new one + within 3 days he had received a offer! So we talked and weighed our options + we felt like it was a yes + he put in his 2 weeks.
• his new job required that we live on site, like his current one + we only had 30 days from when he put his notice in to move out of our apartment so we sold A LOT of our furniture + packed up our house.
• and our new home had WOOD floors, allowed pets and had easy access to the outside so we bought a puppy. (which we had full intentions on getting around Christmas but due to some complications we brought her home early.)
• after his two weeks ended, blake started his first day + we discovered the true meaning of “the Lord works in mysterious ways” + we ended up not taking that leap!
• so we spent the last two weeks unpacking, blake has come home from work grinning from ear to ear, grateful for picking the job that he loves. + i’m over here on the kitchen floor with a pup in my lap, watching two diapered babies stumble around thankful for a no longer restless hubby, a unexpected decluttered house + a list of furniture I get to excitedly go and pick out for our freshly turned unit! (i’m looking forward to a new couch!)

needless to say, it was a crazy month! we made some big decisions and even though we ended up in the same spot as we left off, we grew pretty close to one another, we leaned and counted on each other throughout the whole process, we made big steps together + everything about it has just felt right. i love that man.
in other news, arrow puppy is finally figuring out the whole potty training thing, you think i would be in over my head with the TWO diapered babies we already have but what can i say? i’m a glutton for punishment!
blake + i have decided that Christmas he would be in charge of Sawyers gifts + I would get Navy’s. blake loves Christmas so much he started shopping for Sawyer in September. i’m over here still wondering what clothes I’m going to put on navy for the day. the gifting has overwhelmed me. i mean, what do you get a one year old? beats me. i’m thinking i’ll just drown her in baby dolls.
but folks, my shift has ended + my bed is calling to me with those luscious feathers. just waiting. i promise i’ll try to write again soon, but that’s all i can give ya

Xoxo,
