So after our "fiasco" we finally got moved into our temporary apartment. It is a perfect space for the 4 of us, but I must admit...we will be SO excited to get into our house. Having the kids share a room has been difficult at times. We have had numerous days were we got up WAY earlier than we should have because Jocelyn will hear Grayson, and then she jumps into his pack and play (which sounds cute) but not at 5am. The temp housing company felt bad about the "fiasco" they created, so they left toys (and beer) for our family. Kind gesture.
We have been experiencing some cooler weather than we are use to, so Grayson was trying on his cold weather clothing!
I am very excited to report that I have been working with a designer for our new house, and it just so happens that she is a dear friend, so that makes doing business with her even more fun. I shared some of my ideas on Pinterest with her, and she took it from there. Above is the design board for what will be our new living room. We have had fun shopping for all of the new items, it takes our minds off of the fact that our house is still not done.

She also helped me do our master bedroom too! I am so excited!

We reluctantly got our cars registered in Ohio...and got our licenses too. Crazy! I guess we are officially residents here.
We have been on the hunt for a good Mexican food restaurant as well. It is safe to say we haven't found "our spot" just yet, but this place was pretty good...I think Grayson agreed!
We have been wearing our Aggie gear around town loud and PROUD!
Jocelyn and Grayson are back in school, and they LOVE it! Each day, we get multiple pictures emailed to us of their daily happenings. It just melts my heart when I see them smiling and having fun! It helps me feel confident that we made the right decision to put them in school.
Last week, Derek and I celebrated 8 years of marriage! I can't believe how fast time has flown. We actually got to go out to dinner and celebrate. We had our realtors daughter come hang out with the kids (probably the easiest $$ she has ever made)! Jocelyn keeps asking when Ms. Jordan is going to come back to play! :)
For a change of pace, Derek and I have joined a local CrossFit gym in the area, and are loving it! I typically go at 5am, and Derek goes later in the day. It is challenging, but the environment is fun, and it is a good way to meet people.
Jocelyn did her first workout at CrossFit too. She did the obstacle course in 55 seconds, and got to write her name and time on the board just like mom and dad. She had a blast!
