New Adventures on the Horizon

Blogging. Ugh. Add it to the list of things I am really awful at. It's been since Landri was born that I actually had enough motivation to sit down and type out what was going on in our lives.

BUT....I'm gonna try again. lol

We've got a lot of big things going on in our lives and I feel guilty that I haven't been documenting it like I should.

For starters, my baby girl turns 2 this month.

WHAT?

Her very first school photos :)

Secondly, we just bought a house. Well, kinda....This past Saturday (March 8) we put down the earnest money to start the building process for our new DR Horton home just a couple miles northeast of where we are now in Midland. It's equally exciting as it is terrifying. That isn't to say the house is too expensive (which it definitely isn't for the Midland housing market), it's just the idea of trying to get our house ready to sell this fall for the highest amount possible.

But trying to focus on the positive...

Sibling embrace on the spot where our future home will be.

The view from our front porch until phase 2 is developed. Some people might hate it, but I actually think it's beautiful and perfect to reflect upon our lives here. (The water tower is literally across the street from Landri's school. The downtown skyline is where I work. And the pump jack, a symbol of Jay's work industry, is a reminder of why we are here and how we've been blessed.)

In addition to that, I really want to get back into selling my graphic designs (and some new gift items) on Etsy. AND I also want to start doing more with my photography. I've got some awesome ideas, but it's just the time and resources aspect that is sucking me dry :( I'm sick of making excuses though and hope to get things going very soon!

In the meantime, I've got my boy and the neverending list of Spring Break to-do's awaiting my time....
