Random......

I have been super busy getting our new home to look and be our new home. I really don't like moving but it was something that had to be done. Tom has been so great to help me out with hanging things on the wall and even helping put things away after a long day at the office. We are about there, just a few more boxes to go through and a few more things to hang on the wall.

Im not too sure how I feel about living in Saratoga Springs. I have to drive 15 to 20mins to get anywhere sometimes longer. I have ALWAYS lived within 5 to 10 mins from about everything. I am the type of person that could stay in a home for 30 years, I HATE change. I like things the way they are ok:) So needless to say I have been feeling a tad homesick for my old house, old neighborhood and friends, but it will be just fine. It will just take some getting used to, its only been 2 weeks!

Brindley has been super cute and a super hand full lately. I think most of it is the age but I think some of it is the move. For example she takes random things from my bathroom like, shampoo, soap, my make-up and takes it to her kitchen to cook!! It drives me CRAZY! Today, we were at Lauras and she thought that she would go to the bathroom and look for whatever she could start cooking with and she decided that TOOTHPASTE would be fun! REALLY!! She and Gracie put it everywhere on the kitchen. I was SO embarrased! Laura was really sweet about it but she will probably never let us back over:) I love my Brindley she just loves to discover. I just hope that im doing the best I can to teach her from doing right and wrong. When she does things like that I think to myself "She is the only child that does these things".
On a better note she has been doing some pretty freakin cute things like...... when Londyn gets hurt, she pats her on the back and says "its ok LOLO I love you" I think its so cute she calls her LOLO. She made it up one day when she was singing her a song before bed!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! Every morning Brindley and Londyn wake up at the same time. Brindley hears her talking in her bed and runs in to jump in bed with her and they talk. Its the BEST thing to wake up to!! I love my girls so very much!

So my friend Lauren got accepted to an awesome Aveda school in Provo doing hair school. Im so excited for her to experiance Hair School! It was probably one of the best times in my life I have made the BESTEST friends from hair school! I graduated almost 5 years ago and I haven't completed my final tests! I took the Practical which is the hands on one, but I have failed to complete the written. Im kicking myself, I spent 3 years going to school doing something I have a big passion for and haven't done anything with it. So Im going to FINISH!! I have decided that I want to have my license by the beginning of the summer. I really want to experiance the Salon! Im going to do it!!!!!

Tom is doing HCG this month. Im so excited for him! He has tried little things over the last few years to lose weight but hasent had the results that he hopes for. Well I think that this is going to work! He has high modivation! In less than a week he has lost 13 pounds! Im so proud of him! His goal is to lose 40 pounds I know he can do it!!!

I want to say thank you to the people that helped us move! Without your help we would still be moving!LOL! Thanks for the dinner Lauren and the help with a load over to the new house. Thanks Maryann for the Salad and Cupcakes the day of the move AND watching the girls! Thanks mom for helping with moving. Thanks Reed, Sam, Paul, Judd, and Ryan for your strong arms:) Thanks Laura for coming to help with your 4 kids, your SUPER mom! And thanks to the 6 wonderful men from our new ward that came to help unload everything, you saved SO much time! I love my family and Friends SO much, I feel so blessed to have such great ones!

p.s. thanks Lauren for taking the time to help me with my blog:)

Getting settled is the worst! The new place is fun though - and decorating is always fun! I hope you transition well. Good luck and congrats on the new home!

I had the HARDEST time living in Saratoga. It was such a pain getting to the freeway... but I actually really loved my neighbors and ward. Question, does Tom like the HCG? Brian wanted to try it but wasn't sure about it. Is it the injection one or the oral one, if you don't mind my asking!

I miss you being so close. It's been really hard for me as well! But I'm sure you are going to love it there and make lots of friends. it's such a great, safe, nice neighborhood. And you HAVE to take your test and get your license so we can open our own salon someday and be rich and do celebrities hair haha. We wish! Love you tons and let me know if you need anything.

Oh I know, I'm the same way. I don't really love my house but I love the neighborhood and I would just HATE picking up and moving too, so here we stay. You have a great attitude though and you make friends so easy, soon it will feel like home. Love ya!

At least you're all moved in, and making it homey...that makes it not as sad that you moved, right?? I love that Brin gets in "LoLo's" bed with her in the morning (mine do that on the weekends-and I love it too!!), and I love "LoLo" so cute!

I'm glad you're going to take your test!! That'll be awesome, and you'll do great!

Oh, and congrats to Lauren (even thought I dont' know her) on the Aveda school. I have Aveda shampoo and it makes me happy everytime I smell my hair :)
