IT'S MAY....

I can't believe we are at almost the 1/2 mark into the year.... I also can't believe yesterday was Mother's Day.... Happy Mother's Day to all the mother's and ladies yesterday. Whether you are a Mother by birth to a child or even if your  babies are furry 4 legged friends and companions. Your still a mother.... 

What has Bryan and I been up to ?  We have been living or staying at a MOTEL here in mesquite since beggining of april. It is so much like apartment living. we were just glad to be on our own finally. However at the same time it's an apartment (kind of- in a sense) but, in the classic sense it's not. 
So it will be really exciting to be and when we get into a REAL APARTMENT. Bryan however has made this place like home though. he way and totally is cool like that. 
I look forward to when i can make my home a home and we can do that together and I can become and feel more like a WIFE.... in the way of house keeping duties and cooking and just the "wifey" things. 

Bryan today just started a new job across from where we are living/staying. hopefully his training and probationary period goes real well. i believe that probationary period is 8 wks. - so prayers and keep your fingers crossed. 

We got Bryan's mom moved out of her apartment and moved into her trailer home all within the last month to 6 wks. she is excited about that as we all are. She actually moved in last weekend. 

Mine and Bryan's anniversary is coming up.... it will be 3 yrs in about less than a month.... where has that time gone ?
