Yesterday was my birthday.

There was gifts.

Wonderful hound gifts. Does my family know me or what?

There was flowers.

And of course cake.

Yummy cheese cake.

The best part of my day was spending it with my husband and both daughters.

Not only did my husband end up getting two job offers but one is awesome!! Even better then the job he had.

He also got another offer in the mail today but is going with the first company. He already has his call in to except. Now we just wait to hear back on when he can start.
He starts May 7th!

Everything about this new job is good for us and our future but one thing, the hours. He will be working 3:00pm to 11:00pm while I work 8:00am to 4:30pm. I will miss him like crazy but we’ll make it work.

I am so proud of him !!

My mother in law is moving in with us this Saturday. I am so not ready for this.
I am trying, I really am.
But then again, is any one ever really ready to have their mother in law move in?

I really want to thank all of you who purchased tickets in my raffle. 
I still can not get over how lucky I am to have such great friends that I can turn to in such hard times. Your kindness really made a difference!

Again, thank you !

Please, if I ever talk about selling our house and moving again, some one slap me.
We spent the weekend prepping our house and packing my mother in law to move in with us. I think every muscle in my body hurts this morning.

So far it’s been a beautiful day.

I made my first purchase for my granddaughter. A pair of Spongebob booties. They are so cute and tiny, I couldn’t pass them up.

Also, while my daughter was laying on the couch last night, I was the first person to feel the baby kick by placing my hand on her belly.
It was pretty cool.

Yesterday, along with a house full of family and friends we said goodbye to my husbands brother and his very best friend.
Ron, 38 who lost his long battle with kidney disease last Monday was a huge part of our life together and was much more of a brother to me than my own.

Rest in peace Ron, you were so very loved.
