April Update

So I have been extremely busy these past few weeks. Actually, the whole month of April. We have been constantly going all the time. With work, going between houses painting, and moving. It seemed like I was never going to get a break. I still haven't got my lazy day I so desperately need, but that day is coming soon.

So many things have happened in April. Of course there was Easter. Andrew had to work. I swear he works every holiday. So Oak and I spent most of the day cooking and hanging out. The Easter bunny hid eggs around the house for Oaklie to find when she woke up. That was probably her favorite part of the whole day. She loves finding things and putting them in buckets so she was really excited and happy waking up to a bucket and Easter eggs on the floor for her to play with. The Easter bunny decided to hide her present until Daddy came home so he could see her open it. She got big Lego blocks, Strawberry Shortcake movie, candy, and of course an outfit. Yes, I know I have a bad addiction with shopping in general but with her, its really bad. But that's what is so much fun about having a girl. I love to dress her up.

 So we are finally moved into our house. We still have to put most of the house together but decorating is the fun part, so I don't mind. I am so glad it is all over. I absolutely hate moving. The sad thing is, is that I know that this move wont be the last. I told Andrew we are not moving until we absolutely have to so that will be when we get orders to move and at that point TMO will move us. I love having a clean house so when everything was pulled out and boxes were everywhere, it was driving me up the wall. I am OCD about having my house clean. Rarely will you see it messy unless I am sick or I've been extremely busy which even then I try to find time to clean it up even if it means staying up a little later. There is nothing wrong with wanting a clean house, right?

Yesterday was my birthday. It was a busy one at that. We had a huge rain storm come in the night before and roads were flooded and some destroyed. Homes and parking lots were flooded. People were kayaking in the parking lots of grocery stores. It was crazy. They even shut down the base. The last time they shut down the base was almost 2 years ago when Hurricane Ivan came through. So you know its bad when they tell all military personnel to not come in for 2 days. But even with the rain I still had a good birthday. We went out to Texas Roadhouse with friends. So all in all, I had a good birthday.

On the 29th, it was also mine and Andrew's 3rd Wedding Anniversary. I can't believe its already been 3 years. We both had to work but it was still a good day. We went out as a family and had dinner. Once things settle down though we plan to go do something really fun.

I am so happy the month of April is over. It was a long stressful month for us, but we survived it. I am ready to enjoy my new home and job. Spend time with family and friends. And overall enjoy Florida. Yes, we have some major rain storms but you cant beat these gorgeous beaches. Now that we have a toddler and not a little baby this summer, we plan to take full advantage of it.
