5 years and counting




Last Friday Chuck and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. I worked all day and he was sick at home in bed. It was a heck of a celebration, but we are together, we still love each other, he's still my best friend, we have a beautiful daughter, and we're trying to make the positive changes in our life that we need.
I'm happy we have something to celebrate. I'm not sure a year or so ago I would have thought we'd be here to celebrate it. But I'm very happy we are. Marriage never gets easy, it becomes manageable.
Here's a new pic of baby girl....she's growing way too fast for my liking. She's walking all over now, trying to say a couple of words and she absolutely knows she's the center of all of our hearts! Exactly where she should be!

Homeowners!

On yesterday, Chuck and my offer on a house was accepted! Our first home. The Boyles have a residence! And I think it's a great house. I spent most of my life trying to get out of Pinson and where did we buy our first home?? Pinson, of course! I can't wait to close on it and have the keys in my hand to actually feel like a homeowner. I can't wait to paint a wall and know that I didn't just break some cardinal rule in rental land! I can hang a picture without the fear of leaving that dreaded hole in the wall! Yes I'm aware with a house comes all the other challenges: the stopped up toilet, the yard needs mowing, the door is broken...etc......but we're ready for it! My goal was for us to be in our own house by Maleigha's first birthday and looks like we're gonna make it! I hope to be moved in by mid October, but now it's just a waiting game for the paperwork. I hate waiting, but now I know it's coming! It's not just a dream anymore! Now we also have to buy some furniture, and it won't be any time soon. The little bit of money we had saved is going to have to be spent on movers and some repairs that need to be done. Who really needs to sit in the living room right? hahaha, Floors are just as comfortable!
I hope to be able to post pics soon.
Update on Maleigha.....she has two teeth on bottom and I think some top ones are coming soon. She's crawling everywhere and starting to take a few steps here and there. She'll be walking very soon, then there is absolutely no rest!
