Lots of Love

Here's hoping everyone one had a great Thanksgiving & it continues into the other holiday's. Chris, Tryson & I have so much to be thankful for these holiday's especially. It warmed my heart & brought tears to my eyes when Tryson's teacher approached me a few weeks back (right before thanksgiving) & was explaining what they were working on in class. She explained they were sharing what they were thankful for.


He said he was thankful for his puppy, his grandma, his family & the baby in his mommy's tummy. So you can see why we are more thankful & blessed this holiday season. I hope you all are just as thankful for what you have as we are.

Lots.....

Of great new & wonderful changes coming our way. We can't WAIT! We are so thankful for everything we have & everything to come. Have a good one.

Too blessed to be stressed.....well at least we're trying!

These past couple weeks have been a whirlwind. Between getting things stolen, Tryson starting school & finding a new place to live our emotions don't know where to go. I do know one thing, we are VERY blessed to have what we do have & that is each other. I am TRYING not to worry about material items but when a insurance investigator agent is completely rude to you & says things like "Do you understand" in a demeaning way, it gets a bit much. Oh & then proceeds to be "done" with the conversation & hangs up unbeknown to me. But in the the same breath we are so great full to be moving into a great area...into a great home. Like I said emotions are all over the place. I just wanted to take the time to vent & thank the family & friends that have keep us in their thoughts & prayers. It means so much. I keep on saying to myself, "And this too shall pass", "We will get through this" it's just hard believing it when your going through it.

In other news we made another step into the married life together.....we bought our FIRST washer & dryer set. :) We got a good deal on it & I can't WAIT to use it in our new home. No more going up & down the stairs, no more stolen laundry, no more doing laundry in the rain & (as one friend reminded me) falling on the slippery moss. It is going to be great & grand. I don't think I have EVER been this excited about laundry in my life. Chris is excited too.....he told me & I quote, "Now I can fluff clothes in the morning!" Tryson is so eager to pack his room up but I don't think he understands once the toys are packed we can't unpack them until we bring them to the new place.

You all should be getting a special post card with our change of address & NEW home phone # (that's a first too) & the next week or two. Be blessed to all our family & friends.

YAY! Were MOVING!

Yay! We got it! We were looking to move out of this small apartment that is in a not so good area. So we went on the hunt. Found a couple good candidates but one really caught our eye. This is a duplex with 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, 3 living areas and side yard with patio in the back in a WONDERFUL area. I can't tell you how excited we are. :) So we will be moving at the end of this month.

Other than that.....Tryson had his first day of school yesterday. He was so excited to go. He has the same teacher this year as last & just adores her. So he has a very great first day. I am interested to see how well he adjust to the 3 day a week school year. I'm sure he will do great but I am anticipating a nap everyday. He fell asleep on the way home from school yesterday. Hope all is well!

Our Family (1 1/2 years later)

Well as you all know we haven't really been the best at keeping our blog up to date. But I wanna change that and have it come alive again. So my promise to you, our family & friends, is that if you read it we will continue to post on it. :)

Well what it going on here? Good question and there could be many answers to that question. Well first and foremost (as always). Tryson is doing great. He starts his first day of school tomorrow & he is really excited. He is going to be 4 in 2 months & that is just a shocker in it own right. To think of it 3 years ago he was just 10 months when we moved here & now he is going to be 4! Blows our minds. He is becoming very independent. Loves to make us laugh & frustrate us all at once. He has learn what compromise is and uses it every chance he gets. Funny story: Just last night he asked Chris if he could have some hot chocolate and Chris told him no. Well unbeknown to me Tryson came up to me and asked me if he could have some hot chocolate & I told him yes. So we go to the kitchen and I am about to start making it. Chris asked what I was doing I tell him and we figure out that he tricked us. His simple answer was well you told me no so I asked mommy. Oh and he is in that lovely stage where the word ::POOP:: is the funniest thing in the world.

Chris & I just celebrated our 3 year anniversary. We went to Las Vegas with our good friends Sarah & Phil. Had a wonderful time & can't wait for our next trip. :) My sis Christa, bro Stephen & niece Anabelle came out to WA to visit & be with Tryson while we were in Vegas. I LOVED the one on one time with all of them. Can't wait to have them out again. Chris just started school bad up so we are going to be pretty busy with him working (6 days a week & overtime), Chris going to school & Tryson in school with an organized sport on the side. But we love the busyness & wouldn't have it any other way :-P We are currently looking to move to a better area & a bigger space. Hoping & praying we get this place we just applied for. Other than that we are looking forward to our new niece Olivia coming in the world soon, Halloween which Tryson is planning on being a knight, Tryson turning 4 & as always coming home for Christmas! :) I hope you all are doing well.

Be Blessed!
Stashia, Chris & Tryson
