Another Week

It has been another week! And once again, everyone is alive and kicking!

Yesterday was Hayley's 10th Birthday! For her party we went to the park, the kids played in the water, we had KFC for dinner and ate cake, of course.
Our neighbors the Jackson's joined us, as well as Grandpa & Grandma Bracken, and all the Jensen family.
Hopefully Hayley had a great day and good times were had by all. There are many more days like this to come!

First Week

What a great week!
All of the kids have made it through their first 4 days of school.
No one has died, and I haven't killed anyone. (That is a bonus in itself.)

I am so loving being married! Ryan is such a great guy! I am so in love with him! It is so nice to have him here all the time! I am so grateful to have found him.

Done Deal

Well, it's official. Ryan said, yes. He is now stuck!

We have the daunting task of melding two families and two households. The kids are getting along as well as or better than I could have hoped for. They are fighting like siblings should, and all is right with the world.
School starts tomorrow. Sadie will be in 1st grade, Zack in 2nd, Darby in 4th, Hayley in 5th, Grant in 6th and Chloe starts life as a sophomore. Oh my gosh, just typing that made me tired!

We (at least I) am excited for this new adventure. I'm sure there will be obstacles, but easy would be boring!

Oh My Gosh!

I cannot believe that I am getting married this week!

Chloe and I went to Girls camp last week. We were gone, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. We had a really good time. I am glad I got to have that experience with her. The timing wasn't the best with the wedding this week and all. But I am glad I had the chance to go. And I know that I will understand things better in the future, having been.

Ryan and the kids will be here tomorrow! I am so excited! I have missed him like crazy! We haven't gone this long without seeing each other since we met. I don't know what we were thinking, but at least we are sure that we want to be together!
I think our house will be chaotic for awhile. As we moved Chloe and cleaned out the little girls room, it seemed like 'stuff' multiplied instead of diminished. And, tomorrow we will be adding another house full of stuff. It will be absolutely crazy, and I can't wait!

Well, this week I have to change the title of my blog. So, if you have any great suggestions, please let me know.
