The Past, Present & Our Future;


Recently life has been happening, ya know the thing that happens when your busy making other plans?  Yeah, that thing! Here's a little bit of whats been going on!


MOMMY UPDATE:
In August I opened an Etsy store where I decided to sell onesies, cloth diapers,blankets, hair bows, tutus, and anything else you could possibly think!  I recently put it on vacation because of us moving (more on that later), but other than that it's been great!  I love making things for people and that is one of the main reasons I opened in the first place. I can't wait to open again once we move and I actually have the space to do stuff rather then our dining room table! Make sure you check out Hip Hooray's Boutique on Etsy, Facebook, and Instagram!


DADDY UPDATE:
Yesterday was a big day for our little family and especially my husband.  After almost 10 months of EOD school, Michael graduated!  I seriously am so proud of him and I keep saying that but honestly it couldn't be any truer!  I got to pin his EOD badge on in front of his classmates and it was such an honor.  I was the only wife pinning out of 25 graduating students and nervous didn't even describe how I felt.  In a few weeks he will begin his journey with the 788th in Fort Campbell, Kentucky!  Again, I'm so proud of you honey! I love you!

ELLISYN  MAE UPDATE:
At almost seven months, Elli Mae weighs 17 pounds and is 25 1/2 inches long.  She is sitting unassisted, rolling from back to front as well as front to back, and recently she just started Army crawling!  She is everywhere!  She has an amazing personality for someone so little, is always laughing and smiling and of course just like me she sticks out her tongue out when she's concentrating on something.  She is pretty stinking adorable and believe me she knows it! She loves dancing when I sing the itsy bitsy spider and is a ham when we facetime our families.  I can't wait to hear her say mama or dada!  We both love you Elli Mae!

LULU BELLE UPDATE:
Baby Roo Roo as we like to call her, is amazing.  Such a sweet little hotdog always loving, protective and cuddly.  She isn't rough with Elli, and even knows a few tricks!  When we go on walks in the afternoon and she gets tired and so I will say basket and sure enough she will hop in the basket under the stroller and ride until her heart is content.  She loves cheese, her toys and burying herself under the covers.  She is more than we could have ever dreamed of and we have been so blessed to have her in our lives.  

As for our whole family we are PCSing to Fort Campbell, Kentucky!  Which is right on the border of KY and TN.  The movers will be coming on Halloween and then we will be leaving Florida shortly after.  Michael will have HRAP which is hometown recruiting in Asheville and then we will be heading to our new home at the end of November.
We have met some amazing friends here and even though we have been planning our move for months, saying see you later isn't exactly going to be easy.  I know that tears will be shed and that hugs will be given, but thankfully we have phones to keep in touch and definitely will.

Until next time,
XOXO
