My First Blog

Since this seems to be the big thing to do now, I figured I would join the club. I'll try to keep this updated as much as possible. We'll see.

Some updates:

• Kaylee turned 6 and now is a big girl. She is 4 foot tall now and at last weigh in she was almost 60 lbs. We go for her 6 yr wellness check next week so I know I'll have more updates for her after that.



• Anthony got a new job and is loving it. Actually at this moment he is in Salt Lake City visiting an oil refinery. He now works for Holly Corporation in Downtown Dallas. He is looking forward to growing with this company. Yes he's still tall and lanky.



• I am currently still working for the City of Carrollton. I am finishing my certification as a Municipal Clerk (a.k.a City Secretary). I should be finished with all the homework by the end of the year. However, with the seminar schedule that I need to attend, I have to go to one seminar in August of next year and that will put off my graduation a whole year. But I'm not stressing about it. I'll have all the work and knowledge just not the piece of paper on the wall. No problem.



• We went to St. Louis for the 4th of July. It was the first time in 5 years that Anthony had been back to see my family. Kaylee was extremely spoiled of course. We got to see mom and Jerry, Uncle J (as Kaylee calls him), both sets of grandparents (K's great grandparents), my aunt and uncle from Georgia, my great uncle from Georgia and my dad's sister and her family. It was a whirlwind trip but it was worth it. We also got to see a bunch of people I grew up with at one of my dearest friends wedding. I still can't believe that Jordan got married. He'll always be my little bro!!



• No more kiddos yet for us, but it may be in the future. We both want to get settled in our new careers and get ourselves in a better financial situation. It's getting there. If all goes to plan, we could be trying in the next year and half. We'll see.



• Anthony and I will celebrate our 10th anniversary in 2 weeks. Sometimes I can't believe it's been 10 years. We have so much fun learning and loving each other. Kaylee just adds to that love.

All I can really say for the weather here in Texas is HOT!!!!! It was 103 today without the heat index. My poor grass will just be brown until October. Why waste the water on the dead grass. I do have overgrown trees and bushes I need to tend to but just can't get myself to go outside. It's going to be hot for awhile so I don't know why it seems to hit so hard every year. The dogs don't even like to go out when it's this hot.

Well I need to get Kaylee ready for bed and get some laundry done so I'll end this premier blog. Hope to hear from everyone. The picture posted is one taken of Kaylee just 3 days ago. Scary how much she looks like me.

Love to all!!
