Background

It appears to be working. So now I need to be better about posting here than I ever was with writing in a journal or even in the kids baby books!
I guess I'll start with a little background. Jeremy and I got married in Jan. 2000 while living and going to school in Kansas. We had our first child, Connor, 2 years later in California. Our second child, Aiden, was born less than 2 years later in Utah. Our 3rd and last child, Whitney, was born 31/2 years later back in California. Now, here we are, back in Kansas. We have moved a lot in the 8 years we've been married.
Here is a summary of all of our moves:
1. Tonganoxie, KS to Napa, CA
2. Napa, CA to Midvale, UT
3. Midvale, UT to Sandy, UT
4. Sandy, UT to Spokane, WA (with a short stay in ID for Amy and in TX for Jeremy)
5. Spokane, WA to Napa, CA
6. Napa, CA to Fremont, CA (apartment)
7. Fremont, CA to Fremont, CA (house)
8. Fremont, CA to Prairie Village, KS (with another short stay in ID for Amy)

Somehow during all these moves we managed to also have 3 kids!!! It's been busy! Things are finally starting to settle down a little for us now.
Jeremy has a great job. He works for GSA within the Federal Government. We just bought our first home and live in a great neighborhood. We love it our here! I am adjusting from working full-time PLUS to just staying home with our kids. Staying home has been our goal all along and all I've really ever wanted to do ever since Connor was born, but it just wasn't possible. I love being home and am so grateful everyday that I don't have to drop my kids off at daycare anymore. But, I won't lie. It is REALLY hard being home. I think it would have been easier if it had been more gradual instead of coming home after having 3 kids. I'm not really creative so I have to put some work and effort into thinking of things to do. But, I'm learning. My best days are when we have a full schedule with things to do as opposed to just waking up and having nothing planned. Those days seem to DRAG on forever!! I guess I'm just not used to all the free time.
Well, I imagine there is some kind of rule out there as to the length of blogs. I've probably surpassed it with this one. The rest will be shorter.

Testing

Ok... so now that I'm a "SAHM" I've been told that I need to have a blog. This is my first entry... let's see if it works.
