We're Back!
Holy cow! Feels like forever! I have been lost without our blog... I didn't know what was going on in anyone's lives... haha. We have been so busy though, having no computer has been a good thing. I have been able to get a lot of work done that's for sure! We still have not gotten a new computer, but my mom had an extra one and was kind enough to let us borrow it for awhile. Thanks mom! So, anyway... the biggest news! We got our house FINALLY! We didn't think the day would ever come, everytime things were going good something would come up and slow things down. We thought for sure we would be living in a Motel there for awhile when our landlord informed us that we had to be out by the first of the month because she already had people moving in... STRESSFUL! Haha. Thankfully everything worked out perfectly just as everyone kept telling us it would. Thanks for everyones help getting us moved, we couldn't have done it without you! We promise this is the last time for awhile! It seems like that is all we have been doing lately, we have moved three times in the last couple of years and I am sick of it! We will be here for awhile though :) So, we have been in our new home now for about three weeks. We are loving it! We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but it is a wonderful feeling knowing we will be doing it for ourselves and not for someone else. I am so proud of our recent accomplishments. I am so grateful for the wonderful job that Dev has and the great opportunities it has presented us. I am grateful that he loves what he is doing and that he is excited to go to work everyday. Makes things easier and all of us happier! We are loving it here in Camp Verde. Who would have thought that we would enjoy living somewhere smaller than Snowflake?! Crazy right? I know. It is definitely different. There are only two wards here and I think both of them combined is probably smaller than one ward in Snowflake. We like it though. There are a lot of young couples in our ward and a lot of little kids. Everyone has been so nice and always willing to lend a hand when we need one. We have met a lot of new people and have went to a couple of family home evenings with some couples in our neighborhood. It has definitely made things easier for us and made us feel much more comfortable. We have missed our Fishes though! They have been in Jo City since before we moved so we haven't had the chance to celebrate with them... hint hint :) They should be home soon though, we hope! Another big announcement we have is that Deagan is finally in his own bed! Yes, I know I have posted about this before but this time it's for real! He has slept in his OWN bed everynight since we have lived here and he is doing so awesome. I feel bad now for ever thinking he couldn't do it. I am realizing it was me who had the problem. The first night we were here I was constantly getting up and checking on him, I have since bought some baby monitors. I still check on him two or three times during the night though... hopefully I will get over that! We are so proud of him. We let him choose his own room, which was not hard for him since one of the rooms still had tractors on the wall... he was quick to inform us that this was Deagy's bedroom! He has also informed us that the room next to his is Zoe's bedroom. Haha. He is growing up so quick and talking our ears off. I can't believe some of the things he comes up with. He has also taken a recent interest to going potty on the toilet... he hasn't gone yet but he wants to so bad! Haha. He is always letting Dev and I know when he needs to go so we hurry up and put him on there, but nothing ever happens. We could sit there all day. I don't know if he gets shy or what the deal is... We are just happy that he is even wanting to try. So, anyway that is what we have been up to... it's been fun. We have been busy, and everyone keeps telling us that we will always have something to do now that we have a house. Sounds good for now! I will post pictures soon, I promise. It's good to be back! We've missed you.
