Wow! It has been awhile since I last updated the blog!!! Let's see...I will begin with Halloween. This was the first year that Tyson has actually wanted to put on a costume and he chose to be
Spiderman! I'm not sure why he likes
Spiderman so much, but he does! We went to the Halloween store to buy his costume and he wanted to be the "
Spiderman wif da muscles!" I wanted him to be something furry and cute but he insisted...and so did Dad. The costume is actually really cute on and I love the fake muscles that make him look buff! Ha!! Since we live in the apartment still we weren't sure where we were going to go trick or treating. Our friends, The
Kerchal's invited us out to their house in Waverly to go in their neighborhood! We went out in the early afternoon, the big boys watched football while the little boys played. Tyson and Colt painted pumpkins as well. We then grilled burgers and then got ready to go "candy treating" as Tyson called it!! Tyson was so excited to go!! I told him to make sure to tell everyone thank you for the candy and if he forgot I would remind him and he would run back up to the door and yell "Thank you!!!" to the person who handed him the candy! He would come running back down to us and say, "I got lots of candy!!!" The night was going great until one fateful porch and too many kids on it. Tyson tripped or was accidentally pushed down 2 steps where his face met the concrete!! We heard someone screaming and then realized it was Tyson!! Derick ran up to the house first and I followed concerned I was going to find blood gushing from his head! He ended up with a bruise and pretty good scrape/cut on his eyebrow. He looked like he was punched in the face. Needless to say, that ended our night of "candy treating!"
Next on the list of things to update you with would be the purchase of our home!! We are so happy to finally be
homeowners again.We closed on the house on November 4
th. Our home is located in Waverly which is about 6 miles or so from where we live now. The house is 3 years old and has only had one previous owner. We have spent the better part of the week painting. My friend April and I painted the entire basement living room and then 2 days later decided I hated the color and repainted it!! Jessi, my close college friend came up from the Columbus area to help Derick paint Monday and Tuesday while I worked! We are lucky to have the friends that we have!! They pretty much painted the entire house in 2 days!! I looks great and we are very ready to move in on Monday!!
On November 5
th our sweet little Tyson turned 4!! I still can't believe that it has been 4 years since he was born! Time really does fly!! I took Friday off and we picked Tyson up from school and took him to lunch at Chuck-E-Cheese's (his choice), then to get ice cream then we came home where he discovered his new bike! On Sunday the 7th we had a joint birthday party for Tyson and my cousin Michele's daughter Ava, who turned 5 the day before Tyson's birthday. It was fun to celebrate together since they are little buddies and actually attend the same daycare and are in the same "classroom." Tyson had a
Spiderman birthday cake, of course and Ava had a Cinderella cake.
The last thing that I can think of to update you all on is my job. I decided to start looking for a different job a few weeks ago. On Thursday I accepted a job with 2 American Family agents. I will be doing the same type of work that I was doing for the State Farm agent. It's a long story as to why I decided to look for another job. If you want to hear it you can call or email me and I will discuss it with you! I start the new job on the 29
th so I gave my 2 week notice yesterday but my boss chose to end my employment the same day. I'm upset by it since I won't be working for 2 weeks which means no paycheck for me for a few weeks, but trying to look on the bright side I will have time to help move and get the house in order. I'm excited to start my new job and hope it's a better fit for me!!
I think that is about all I have for now. Once we get moved in and settled in, our house is open for guests!! We are very excited that we have room to have more than one couple over at a time!!
Our new address is:
13480
Montrose Ct
Waverly, NE 68462
I've posted some pictures from the last month, they are in no particular order!
Dad and Mary went to the Mizzou game as well so we met up with them for 3 minutes!
I'm not sure why this picture is so tiny but this is our house.
This is the view from the living room down to the kitchen.
