So much to write about, where to start?!
We close on our house in less than 3 weeks, I'm super excited and super nervous all rolled together. Add to that, we're flying home the very next day to spend a week in sunny San Diego (watch, now its going to rain the whole week). We come home, get fully moved in and out of our rental (a rant for another day), and quite possibly take to the road again. This time to Minnesota to pick up a puppy for the family... erm, Liam. Yeah, totally Liam's dog, lol. That's not set in stone just yet, but its an idea that is rapidly in the works.
As for me, I have so many irons in the fire right now, I'm practically spinning in circles. I can't go into detail on everything, but there will be pictures along the way.
I can say that Photina and I are doing the Present's Active Lifestyle Award Challenge, and I'm pretty stoked. Its the first step of many to my ultimate goal(s). Girls definitely do it better, right Photina?
I've also recently started training again; via correspondence at the moment, and in person again once we're moved and I can breathe again. I'm excited to be back in my field again, doing what I love, and also contributing to the family financially. I have the potential to earn so much, I just need to keep pushing and get it done.
I'll probably add to this post a little bit later; for now I have some research to get done, and my treadmill is begging for my attention. Cheers!

Big News, Big Hopes
And no, its not another baby. I know how you all think!
Big news, we put in an offer on a house and it was accepted! Still very very nervous; its a huge purchase and we have the inspection on Wednesday. Fingers crossed that everything goes well, it will be nice to have some place where our kids can call home; some place that is ours and ours alone.
In other news, I have an extraordinarily precocious 2 year old who is having a blast pushing every button his father and I collectively own, and to be quite frank is driving me insane. I love the little creep more than he will ever know, and I know I'll end this journey with a full head of gray hair, probably before I'm 30. It just amazes me how smart he is, how personable, and how stubborn. I love hearing him sing; he sings a modified version of "twinkle twinkle", and as silly as it is, its the most beautiful song that I've ever heard. He may be turning into a smelly, dirty little boy (and I say that with all the love in the world), but I cherish all of those mud and chocolate covered kisses and I secretly enjoy every disgusting bug that he brings to me, just to see me wrinkle my nose and say "ew".
His sister lights up my world just as much as her brother. She's beautiful, smart, and just... amazing. She is so close to walking, Sean and I think that she's more than capable just too stubborn to allow herself to do it. At least when he and I are looking. She can say "mama" "dada" and "up"; she waves bye-bye and thanks to her daddy has also learned to let you know exactly when she wants up (can't think of the words to exactly describe it, she basically crawls up to you, sits back on her haunches and reaches up and makes the bye-bye hands). She can climb up and down off the couches, the beds, the chairs. She bangs on windows, pulls the cat's tail, and was recently seen exploring the dog's mouth with her hands and face. What can I say, our dog gives pits a bad name. She laid there and let Brigid do her thing, and repaid her with plenty of kisses all over her face and in her mouth. Disgusting, but incredibly funny.
So in a nut shell, that's where we are. I have my frustrations with people, places, and things; but I'm trying incredibly hard to just let them go. They don't matter, nothing does except my family. They're my whole world, and I just need to focus. They deserve it <3
