February is shaping up to be a very exciting
upcoming month! Both Vince and I are working on additional education courses,
which will keep him busy during his days off from the fire station and mine
will required a three day trip away from home for a crazy two day cram session.
All in the name of career advancement…right?
Anyways, with all this going on Vince’s
grandparents have offered to come down from Ohio for a visit and to help us
with the boys. Lifesavers, they are. But during all this my parents have been
in the process of selling their home down in south Florida and purchasing a new
home in north Florida. Which is very exciting since we’ve already planned a
weekend trip to visit the new house in February and they’ve already asked to
have Nash for a week towards the end of February as well. But like all things,
it never goes without a hitch…my parents original closing date has been
pushed back so they will be coming to stay with us for a week until they are
ready for closing (which is awesome)
except that Vince’s grandparents will be with us as well. Can you say…FULL
HOUSE?!?! Or what would be more appropriate is FULL HOUSE and RV! Yep. Our
wonderful, God-sent friends are going to let us borrow their beautiful RV for
my parents to use while in town since my house is just nowhere near big enough!
Truly, our friends are two good to us and we owe them BIG for this one!
To top all that excitement off, Nash’s
birthday is February 28th and we’re having a party for him…can you
believe my sweet baby toddler is turning 3 years old?!?! I just want to cry
thinking about it. I could not picture my life without him, he is just that
missing piece to our family. We’re having a Bob the Builder/Leggo theme party
for him at the house, nothing big but just a little something since we did a
big party for Mas back in August. He also has his very first Tae Kwon Do evaluation
this Thursday to hopefully get him started twice a week in Martial Arts!
Mason has also started back in basketball
this past weekend and I must say he already seems to be enjoying it more than
he did the last time he played. We realized very quickly that he is very good a
defending, we think this will be where he shines. Now that we have the hoop at
home, he can practice with my husband…if this damn weather ever gives us a
break!
On a random side note…this time next year
Vince and I will be celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary in Ireland,
Germany and Prague!!! Can you tell I’m excited? We’re in planning mode now and
I feel like next year will never get here…not that I want it to fly by but this
is a trip we’ve been talking about for so long…I am just ready to get this
adventure going, just the two of us.
