Halfway Through January

We have kicked off 2016 being a busy family, like most, I'm sure!

It started with BACK TO SCHOOL after winter break & Adrean started to get sick from his asthma! :( He missed a couple days of school, so, that set him back a little bit with classwork. He hasn't wrestled the last 2 weeks, due to missing practice one week from being sick & then busy catching up with school work & working on a big project the next week caused him to miss another week of practice. Hoping to get him back into the swing of things this week.

As for my hubby, he has a month of training that started at the beginning of January to prepare him for his next deployment. The poor guy has been working 12+ hour days, 7 days a week. I know it has been exhausting and draining for him. We are missing him so much! Even though he is here at home, we only see him when he gets here for just a bit. The boys and I are always excited to see him! Obviously, they want to wrestle and play with their dad & they have so much to talk about and share with him, just like I do. But it is a little hard because he is just so worn out by the time he makes it home at night. I always want to sit down and have a few minutes of grown up conversation with him, but its just nearly impossible. I am trying to do my part and be an understanding wife. He knows that and I appreciate the fact that he realizes it. We make an incredible team, and I am so blessed.


Some fun things to share:
  • The other day, the boys and I were able to see Disney On Ice Frozen! Richy's job provided us with tickets and a suite to sit and watch & eat all kinds of yummy food! We really enjoyed it and we were so thankful that Cox did that for us and the other employees and their families.

Ready for the show to start back up after break!
  • We added a new member to our family over the weekend! My husband's cousin gave birth to her second child, a baby girl named Avery Hope! She is just a little doll... So precious and so perfect! Such a blessing... Now, we wait for my nephew, Jackson! Not too much longer to go.. He is due March 11, his big sister's birthday!

  • And last but not least, Richy bought himself a truck! He's only been wanting a truck since FOREVER! When he started saving money up to buy his first car, he wanted to buy a truck. Plans changed because we found out I was pregnant with Adrean. Ever since, it's just never worked out for him to have a truck! Well, here we are like 10 years later and my husband has his truck! He couldn't be happier... It was all worth the wait because he ended up with something he loves, something that is really nice, and more than what he expected he would be able to get! Seeing him so happy, makes me happy! The boys loved daddy's new truck and always want to ride in it whenever they have the chance.... No pics on my laptop but when I transfer it from my phone, I will be sure to post. 



Well, it is getting pretty late here in Vegas, so I suppose I should call it a night! I look forward to posting and updating more and more. I am ready to share more on here besides family updates. 

.........stay tuned!
