Finally right....

Hello! It has been forever, but this time it was not my fault! Our internet has been down. It still sort of is... It will randomly cut out and be gone for 2 days or more. Thank Verizon for it. Oh well, they said they are working on it! Hopefully it will be resolved soon. I think unfortunately that our computer is on it's last leg also though... Keep your fingers crossed for us that it does not go down right before Christmas! We can't afford to replace it right now! Ahh!

Anyways, I will do a quick update before the internet goes away again! Everyone is doing very well. Miss Avery is getting bigger (sort of) well, she is getting older anyway... hahaha I think she is going to have really bad allergy's! I have been sucking out her nose non-stop. She hates it of course, but can't breath out of her nose otherwise, which is making it hard for her to eat! I think we are all going to be getting the wonderful Texas allergy's! We all have scratchy throats and runny nose starting. Wish us luck! lol

Trais is doing well! He is doing very well in school. He is a bright kid! We got his report card from school the other day and he is at or above on all subjects! He is a math wiz! I hope that keeps up throughout all of his school years. Donny signed up for a program called 'WATCH D.O.G.S' (Dads of great students) which is an awesome programs to bring the dads into the school to add some extra male role models! It's great for the kids to see dads being involved! Anyways, Donny has gone in and spent the whole day 2 so far and I think he signed up for about one a month from here on out! Trais loved it. Donny was able to see the interaction of the teachers and students and was able to get a better feel for the school expectations. Trais well exceeds them!!!

Donny and I are doing wonderfully also! I can't believe our one year anniversary is already right around the corner!!! I love his way more today then I did even yesterday! He is the best husband and father and partner in life I could have asked for!

Donny is about to credential and is almost completed with his 6 month probation!!! He (I should really say all of us!) can finally take a huge breath of relief very soon! He has been working hard and constantly feeling a bit stressed. But, it is almost over and now we can just get on with living our lives!

We both still love it here so far! It is mid November and was in the low 80's! Holy Cow!!! hahaha We were talking about going on a camping trip with some friends and had to stop ourselves to ponder that! It does get very cold in the mornings though! I still get to use my favorite sweaters and fleeces. That actually made me feel better. (Such a girl huh?) My Uncle Mike said that the last two Christmas' he BBQ'ed in shorts on the back porch and it was mid 70's. We'll see about that. But I sure wouldn't complain.

Halloween was a lot of fun. Trais' school did a Monster Mash on the Friday before Halloween and we I took both the kids to it. They had dancing, pumpkin painting and food. It was a lot of fun. Then that Sunday we went to a carnival that Donny was working at. Trais got to wear his costume (He was a ninja) and get some candy. For Halloween night my friend Nikki came over and we met up with the 2 neighbor boys and walked the neighborhood. Avery slept through most of it. He got way too much candy that of course I helped myself too, which my thighs were not happy about! It was very fun overall.

The reality of the holidays without our friends and families around is setting in. We are missing all of you in WA, and we are thoroughly enjoying the time we get to spend with all of our new friends!

I better sign off, but thanks for reading!
