Lots of New

We found a new church and went on Sunday. They meet in a movie theater, like our old church. It was really nice, the music was kind of loud, but the message was great. We are looking forward to going there again. I finally had my site redone, so stop by and take a look :) Destiny starts soccer tomorrow and she is really excited. Andrew is crawling backwards and is very active.

Busy unpacking

As you can see we finally bought a house and it closed last week. We are unpacking and are almost settled in. We also adopted a Sheppard mix named Dixie, from a no kill shelter. She is 2 years old and is very playful and loves children. I am also redoing my website, I got a new logo and I will also giving it a well needed face lift. San Antonio is really nice and there are plenty of things to do. I am starting to feel a little home sick. We found this new church that meets in a movie theater and we will be attending there for the first time on Sunday.

It wasn't meant to be.

The other day we found the perfect house for us. It had no flaws and had everything we wanted plus more. So we told the realtor immediately that we wanted to make an offer. She went back to her office filled out the paper work and was about to send it over when she decided to call the agent on the house to see how they preferred the paper work. He told her that he literally had an offer on the house 5 minutes before she called and they already accepted it.............grrrrrrrrrrrr I am so sad and mad. This was the perfect house. So now we are off looking at more houses.

Of Course...

<--------- Picture of my brother TJ, my mom, and my brother Dylan

So we found 2 houses that we loved and tried to make offers on them but later found out that the taxes were $4500. ouch. So we declined and we had 2 candidates left. Mike went in this morning to check in with his unit and found out we arent going to be stationed at Fort Sam. Instead we will be at Lackland AFB, which isn't so bad, only 30 minutes from here BUT that means we need to find houses in a different area of San Antonio. Ugh, I can't wait until we are in a house we love and can afford. It is really stressful.

Moving Chaos!

It has been awhile since I have written anything. Its been so crazy. On December 12th Mike returned from Afghanistan. We have moved since then, road tripped and have visited family in Colorado and in Dallas and have finally arrived in San Antonio. We looked at 6 houses today to purchase and so far like 2 of them. We will be looking at more before we make an offer on one. Everyone is doing well, ever since moving here Andrew's breathing issues have cleared up completely. MJ is still teethin and Desi can't wait to get back into school. Madison wants to go school too so we will be looking for something for her once we get settled in a house. I miss all of my family but I am happy we are moving away, its like a fresh start and I get to experience another part of our country. Today it was 75 degrees and the kids were able to go swimming outside. I'm still working on my business in the middle of everything too. Mike is doing well and is still adjusting to our chaotic family. He should be going back to work in about 2 weeks. My brother Dylan came with us as well to get a fresh start. He will be joining the military later this year. San Antonio is nice, I guess. The parts I have seen so far are kind of ghetto and certain areas are not great because of gangs and stuff. We are looking at houses in good neighborhoods with good schools so we should be fine. I will update again later, hopefully tomorrow. Night!

Aiden

Aiden was our kitty. He is 18 months old and Mike got him for me last year before he deployed. Unfortunately Andrew has RAD(Restrictive Airway Disease) and it can either go away or turn into asthma and having Aiden around is making it worse on Andrew. I gave him to a lady and her 5 year old daughter last night and I feel really sad that we had to get rid of a member of our family but it was in the best interest of our son. He is a really good cat too, I miss him :(
