Lauryn had her first playdate yesterday. Ken was outside doing some yard work on Saturday and noticed that a neighbor a few houses down had a little boy about Lauryn's age running around. Ken went over to say HI. The couple is military and their little boy turned 3 last Nov. We invited them over to eat dinner last night. The kids played together really well. Lauryn really enjoyed it. I have not met the mother yet. She did not come b/c of some homework. I'm looking forward to meeting her and having someone to hang out with. We got Lauryn's new little pool filled up and she had a great time in it yesterday, too. We wanted a bigger above ground, but our landlord told us NO. We may look into buying the house later, and if so, we WILL be getting a bigger pool. Here are some pics of Lauryn in her pool. She ha such a blast playing in the water.

Nothing New!

There has not been much going on this past week. Lauryn and I have just been hanging out. The weather has been really nice so we have played outside. I have finally sorted through all of our boxes and have separated what I am keeping and what I am putting in my yard sale. I am waiting on a call back from the Homeowner's Assoc. to get the permit for my sale. I am planning on having it next Sat. if possible. I need to get everything out of that bedroom. We are planning on buying a new mattress for our bed and putting our current mattress in the extra bedroom. Hopefully my parents will be coming to stay in a few weeks. Lauryn is looking forward to seeing them. Other than that, nothing going on. Gonna try to talk Ken into taking me and Lauryn to a Japanese restaurant tonight. I have not had it in a long while.

I have finally started to make this house feel like a home. I have hung pictures and curtains. Put candles every where. I love candles. Next, I have to tackle the extra bedroom that is filled with nothing but boxes of junk. I have to go through all of that stuff and make three piles- 1 for trash, 1 for garage sale, and 1 for goodwill. I plan on having a garage sale sometime before the end of the month and whatever I do not sell will go to goodwill. I need to start getting this room ready for guests. We are planning on buying a new mattress set, so the set that is on our bed will then be our guest bed. We also have a futon. So whenever anyone wants to come stay we should have enough room.

New Day

Ok. So I ended up cooking some chicken and cheese quesadillas the other night. Nothing spectacular, but they were very good. Yesteray, Lauryn and I went to T. J. Maxx and I bought some throw pillows and went to Old Navy. Can't make a shopping trip without going into Old Navy. I got 3 shirts and Lauryn got a pair of flip flops. Today, we are waiting on Ken to get home from work and we are going out to do some more home decor shopping. Nothing much that is new. It was 85 and sunny here yesterday and is suppose to be the same today. I'm really enjoying this weather here.

Ok. Well, Lauryn and I are off to the grocery store to do some shopping. I have been on many websites looking for recipes for new things to try. I have found a few. I am going to try one tonight. I will let you know how that goes. Ken is on a diet, so he is being a picky eater. Hopefully, he will eat it and like it. LOL.

This is a picture of our family taken in Dec. We took a trip to Orlando to stay with Ken's grandparents. We took Lauryn to Sea World.

New to Blogging

Hi! This is my first blog. I have posted all the specifics about the family in the about me section. Right now, we are still in the process of getting unpacked. This past week I have been purchasing home decoration items and putting them up around the house. My next project is to find some furniture for our formal living room. Also, I would like to go through the rest of our boxes and get everything together for a yard sale. I have so many clothes and nic-nacs that need to be sold or taken to goodwill. Many, many things to do still. Lauryn has settled in. We bought her a sandbox Sunday so she has enjoyed playing in that. Anyways, I will add more later as I figure all of this out.
