Time for much NEEDED updating

To start this blog off... We LOVE living in Texas. We have had a lot of of great things happen and some irritating things happen but who hasn't?

Brandon works for C & K Doors and Remodeling. Brandon is not a big fan of this job and doesn't complain too much, a job is a job. Brandon found out that to be a Contractor in Killeen, Texas you don't need to get a license, that is just a personal preference, you just need to be registered with the city you chose to work in and have insurance. We registered with the City of Killeen but were just waiting on the insurance and bond. Brandon named this company " Chosen Kitchen & Bath remodels " It will take a while to get established but we will be patient. Since we did all that Brandon got one of those " Hard to turn down" job offers working for a company who builds apartment complex's, hotels etc. Brandon would not be framing but supervising which if you know Brandon you would now that he lives to build so this would be hard for him, to not jump in. The benifits are great, company truck, paid fuel, food etc. This job starts out at 45,000 a year with multiple bonuses through out. The only bad thing about this job is that we would have to move every year to a year and a half. This is not something we want to put our kids through, we will NOT put our kids through moving that much. The employer is trying to find a way where we will be able to stay in one place and still work for this company so, we will see.

I have just met my 1 year mark of being in school, I have only 6 months left of my pre reqs and then I will be able to be put on the waiting list for the nursing program. I won't have to wait long if I can get a job in a hospital doing anything that they will allow me to do such as working in the hospitals basement filing files away or even just answering phones, either way I am way super excited. I applied for a job with JWC back in February and had an interview, this is a property management company " Jim Wright Company". They called me back for a second interview because the person that got the job over me last time was fired after a couple months. I find out hopefully soon if I got the job. I would be so excited if I get this job.

Casey is doing a lot better. He at first hated being here, the school and the people. He had all a's minus one b at Mountain Meadows and when we got his report card at Brookhaven he had a 38% in writing, 68% in reading, 0 in SS a 96% in math and a 98% in science. Casey was very depressed and had to see the guidence counscelor every day for a month and a half. Casey has brought his grades up since, has friends now and is just doing so great. I am so glad that Casey is finally coming around. Casey wants to learn how to play the drums so we bought a book to teach him the basic rythems/beats but now we are looking for someone to teach him lessons.

Jared is in his first year of school, pre-k. The pre-k in Texas is all day long, way different from AZ. Jared, my main worry, did really good his first day of school " Surprise, Surprise" Jared loves being in Texas, he loves playing outside and he loves drawing pictures of Texas. A month ago Jareds bike was stolen out of our back yard, he was so upset and really didn't understand the whole " stolen" concept. We saw the person who stole the bike riding it a couple weeks later, they were twin 13 year old girls. We called the cops and followed them to their house and they totally lied to the cops, it is what it is right? Well mothers day we were driving around , Jared asked to drive by the house to we did and guess what we saw? The bike, right in the driveway. We loaded the bike up and called the cops again. The bike was trashed, in fact, we won't let Jared ride it because the brakes were ripped off of it, the yellow bike was painted with white shoe pollish and the rims were all bent to heck The girls are getting in trouble and we are pressing charges. Other then that things have been great.

Anthany is well, Anthany. Tony loves to fight with his brothers every chance he gets. Tony does not like to share mommy so when the boys get home from school the Hell begins. Tony is potty training but doesn't want to poop in the toilet. He loves to play outside PUSHING around his bike since he can't ride it. Tony also follows me around the house all day with his back pack and hot wheels cars and will just play where ever I am.

It is really nice that I have 2 of my 3 kids in school, I love the one on one time with Anthany. I love how quiet my house is in the day time and how easy it is to clean without all the boys at each others throat and messing things up just as quick as I get it cleaned. I miss Casey and Jared in the day time but that is ok. Well that is all that is going on for now so I will update when there is more to update.
