It has been an amazing, emotional and long two weeks. Lets start off my stating that it is never easy to be married or have children. Here is a short breakdown of what we have done/been through: We finally filed our taxes and got everything figured out (we hired a tax consultant to do them since we live in Virginia and our residency is in Arizona... so on so forth) we are semi-pleased with the refunds that we will be getting back. All I have to say is that we are thankful for having a child and getting the tax breaks that we get.
Our next big thing is still working on potty training, Kaiya really got the hang of it these past couple of weeks. She is still in a diaper at night but she is in panties all day at school and most of the weekend, unless we go out some where for a while, she loves being a big girl and it shows. This was an emotional let go for me, I am losing my baby and gaining a little girl. It is all very exciting and she is growing up way too fast. However I still do not want anymore children. She is wild enough for me.
My mom came in town for a week (Wednesday to Wednesday). I was truly blessed to get some quality sleep, even though her and Kaiya both got sick. We had tons of fun, we went shopping, got our nails done, went to the Virginia Aquarium, out to eat a few times and watched a lot of girly movies when it rained for 3 days straight. I really needed that break and time with my mom, I am sad that we wont get to see her until she comes out next which will be this fall or if we can make it back there sometime this summer. Kaiya loved having her andma in town but it makes us miss all of our family and friends back in Arizona, Nebraska and everywhere else that they may be.
Cody spent most of last week and weekend getting ready to go to the field for a week and helping his friend fix his car. By the time Sunday rolled around he was truly exhausted and was ready for a true weekend, but like true military fashion he had to wake up at 1am on Monday morning to go to the field for a week. Luckily they pretty much got everything fixed on his friends car so we can spend some quality time when he gets home this weekend. I feel like it has pretty much been 2 full weeks since we have actually spent more then 3 hours awake together.
I have been busy as well, just the normal every day wife, mother and daughter stuff. I was blessed to be able to take 2 days off of work to spend with my mom and daughter and then a full weekend of rain, grocery shopping and laundry. Now its the middle/end of the week and I have more laundry and cleaning to be done but it will all be worth it when I get a weekend to relax and do the things that need to get done.
Well this pretty much sums up our lives, boring but crazy and we love every minute of it, in retrospect that is.
Have a blessed rest of the week!
