It's been awhile!

I know, I know, I know. It's been over a year since I last posted a blog. So many things have happened. And of course Makenna is now the big 2.

Where should I begin...

Well, as most of you know, in November of 2006, KB Home did a massive layoff, which included me, and that was really hard. Being a single Mommy and out of work is probably the toughest thing I've had to go through so far. It took me until the end of January of this year to get a new job, and that was only temporary for Newmark Homes. While Newmark Homes builds beautiful homes, the working environment was like walking into hell everyday. No respect, no teamwork, no leadership, just a bunch of people out to get you everyday. It has to be the worst job I ever had. But, I am happy to report, thanks so very much to one of my Best Friends Renee, I am now a new employee of Spring Branch ISD. And let me tell you...It is absolutely amazing!!! I couldn't have wished for a better job. Not only is it a great school district to work for, but the pay is amazing (more than I've ever made before :) ), and Makenna and I will have insurance starting November 1st. YEAH. Everyone knows how hard it is medically without insurance. Especially with a baby!

So now life is starting to look up again. Makenna's 2nd birthday just passed and boy does she act it. Although still sweet as pie, she's definately a red head. Her hair gets more red the more it grows. She's already had her first haircut, thanks to my another Best Friend of mine, Gina....By the way Gina, she needs another one!!! :)

Well now that I have a GREAT JOB, and a BEAUTIFUL 2 yr old little girl, I'm ready to find that special someone. So, if any of you out there know someone who's able to put up with me and my crazy life, please feel free to send them my way!!!! :)

I hope this catches everyone up so far. Here are a few pics I've just taken of Makenna so that you can see how much she's grown and just how much more precious she has become. Enjoy! I will add more later. We love you all and miss you dearly. Until next time....
