Who Needs Toys?

Okay, I have to admit my whole family is on countdown (8 days) until closing day. So I'm sure my next few post will be entirely house related. We are so elated to finally see this whole big blessing (mess) come to an end. Now instead of hearing AJ say "mom our house is still broken." Now I get to hear "Mom our house isn't broken anymore," "we have a driveway!" "Mommy, we have carpet!" It is music to my ears.

The best part is that AJ and KC are absolutely in love with the house. AJ will ask daily to go see it, just so he can either run around on the driveway, through the house or show us where he put his hand print in the cement.

So the question is - why do I buy toys? All they need is a driveway to run on or a roll of carpet to crawl on and play. So cheap, and it doesn't clutter!

Okay in the time it has taken to write this we are now:

7 days, 5 hours, 9 minutes, 2 seconds! Just joking!

Where Has the Time Gone?

Okay, I haven't blogged in a while. I feel it is a lot like working out - which by the way I haven't done lately either! So what's going on right now you ask?

EVERYTHING! But I'm not stressed or anything :)

The past few week I have been working on credit. We found when applying for our loan that a man named Jeremy F. Thomas (mine is Jeremy D. Thomas) had found his way onto our credit report with all his prision (yes, I said prision) deficiancies and all. Fourteen defaults to be exact. Yes, all sitting on Jeremy's credit when we are three weeks from closing on a house.

Did I freak - heck ya! Tears and all.

We'll luckily those are clearing up as we speak in disputes, since this evil man does not have my J's social number. Let me tell you, these evil credit agencies are pure evil. They are not an advocate and just FYI, there is no advocate for you in the state of Oklahoma. Not even anyone at the Attorney General's office.

The good news is (keep your fingers crossed) that two weeks from today I will be unloading boxes in my new house. What a relief! I am so ready to have a home to raise my family, decorate and entertain in. The best part is soon I will get my mom back as a mom and not just a roomate and the kids will have a grandmother and grandfather again. That is the biggest blessing. Jeremy will also be able to work from home more and not always be at the office. Another blessing.

I did learn today that after AJ's second round of tubes in May - Kendyll will now probably (and that is a BIG probably) be getting her first round. Thank God, my idea of a good time is not suffering through the winter with multiple ear infections - her or me!

And a another fabulous thing for me is my photography class I am in the midst of taking. I am having so much fun learning and putting it to good use. I also have a friend of a friend currently designing my business cards for my new Tammy Nicole Photography look. The look is very fun and refreshing and just what I was looking for. I am very excited to kick off my business at the beginning of the new year. We'll see how it goes, but I'm thinking big things are going to happen.

The Landscaping Has Begun

Before

It is fianally happening! All our weeds outside our empty house are gone and the beautiful landscaping has begun. FINALLY! This has been a process. It seems like lately we are fighting to get anything finished at our house. Jeremy finally snapped on Friday and did literally cuss out our builder. Not smart, but what can you expect? So you would think that this means we are getting close. I'm not sure, but let's hope so! I'm just guessing but I think two to three more weeks. I'll let you know. The driveway goes in Tuesday. Pray for no rain!
