I'm a horrible blogger!

I have let my blogging community down! But, in my defense, we have had a lot going on. I promise from now on I will update regularly! So much has happened in the past month and a half that I don't even know where to begin! I suppose I'll start from the beginning of our new adventure!

I was so nervous about our 22 hour drive to Oceanside. To my surprise, it could not have gone any smoother. Kazleigh watched Yo Gabba Gabba and Veggie Tales the entire time. She did SO good. I am so proud of my little baby, she was such a trooper! On the first day we drove to El Paso and stopped to get some sleep at a Hilton. I chose to stay at a Hilton because I assumed it was the "nicest" of our choices, but right as I was laying my head down I noticed a dried up drop of blood on my pillow. REALLY REALLY gross! Bobby called the front desk but they only offered us a room change, which seemed like way too much work for how tired we were. So tossed the biohazard in the corner of the room, inspected our other pillows, and got some rest! The next day we only made 3 or 4 quick stops, which really isn't that bad with a 10 month old! We finally made it to Camp Pendleton around 7pm! We stayed in a hotel for 4 days and then moved into our new home!

Our house is cute. We got upgraded to a 1500 sqft. 3 bedroom 2.5 bath with an attached garage, so I don't have anything to complain about! It is plain on the inside, cause the military wanted to build as cheap as possible, but I am working on giving our home some pizzaz. It's a process. I would have to say my favorite thing about living on base is that I just feel safe here. I am a big worrier, but I tend to worry much less now! The most important part about this house is that Kazleigh, Bobby, and I live in it TOGETHER! It is so nice to be a family again.

As I've been adjusting to our new home, I've also been adjusting to school again! I started school at University of Phoenix, and so far so good. After giving so much of myself to Kazleigh and Bobby everyday and making sure everything around the house is functioning it feels so good to do something for me. I really enjoy school, maybe a little too much. Last week when Bobby and I laid down for the night I said "I wish I had more homework..." HAH! What has gotten into me!

On top of school, I am also working on getting my Real Estate license. I never realized how much I enjoyed real estate until we moved here and I looked at SO many homes! Each time an agent showed us a house I thought to myself "Wow, I could sell this a lot better than she is". Then it hit me...Why don't I! So, here I am. I should have my license in about a month. In the mean time I am going to train with an agent at Keller Williams so she can teach me all the in's and out's. This is a fun journey!

Becoming a real estate agent is bitter sweet. I have to put my sweet baby Kazleigh in part-time childcare. I'm hoping it will only be 3 days a week at the most. On Friday I decided to go check out the childcare facility on base. I pulled into the parking lot and cried like a baby! I suppose thats when it finally hit me that I have to trust a stranger with the most important part of my life! It is so hard give up some of my control! I know when she is home with me she is safe with a full tummy. She is also exploring and so happy! It is hard for me to trust that someone we don't know will take care of her like I would. So I just sat in the parking lot and cried and cried. I think all mommies experience this separation anxiety at some point. I composed myself, and drove back home! I walked in the door and explained to Bobby why I was crying so much, and he (being the amazing husband and daddy that he is) hopped in the car and headed back to the daycare with me for moral support! I love him for that!

I walked in the day care feeling so skeptical and uneasy. But those feelings quickly changed to excitement and relief. I loved it. They had such a reassuring staff. We got a tour by the sweetest woman ever! She showed me the room Kazleigh would be in, and the schedule of what she would be doing each day. In her room the have a cute little table and all the sweet babies sit together and have lunch! SO CUTE! :) They also work with each child every day on simple things like coloring. They have story time and a little play ground outside. I feel so good about letting Kazleigh spend time here while I am working. I am so relieved and so thankful. Now I am just praying that there is room for her there, and if there isn't, that the waiting list isn't too terribly long. It's all in God's hands, so I will wait patiently and trust HIM!

My best friend will be here tomorrow! Jacy is coming to visit us in California! WOOHOO! I really need some girl time. Although I appreciate Bobby watching girly shows with me and dying my hair, I miss my friends! Jacy just graduate from UNT (hooray!) so she is staying for a month! We are super excited for her to arrive! I am enjoying blogging, but I really need to clean! We have a lot to do today to get ready for our first house guest! :)

I promise I will blog again soon! Thanks for reading! And again, sorry I neglected my blog for so long!
