Yet again, it's been awhile since I last updated my blog. We are now back in the states! The picture to the right is Cody loading up the car to go to the Manchester airport. We flew back from England in February, and landed in Louisiana. It was so nice to be back home. We had a bump on our flight back and missed our connection flight in Washington, DC, so we ended up staying the night in a hotel. It was pretty stressful because some of our luggage had made it to the next plane and some hadn't. On top of that, we had shipped our dog and they weren't able to tell us at first if he made the next flight or not. Luckily, we found out he made the flight and Cody's father was able to go pick him up when he arrived in Louisiana. I'm not sure what would have happened if he hadn't made the flight. It was pretty darn scary!
The next day, we boarded our flight to Louisiana and because we had last minute tickets, all of our seats were separate. This was a pain because we had to ask people to rearrange themselves so that me and Cody could both sit with one of our kids. Even though we slept in a hotel the night before, me and Bubba were pretty tired after we sorted the seating arrangement out. Bubba was asleep before the plane took off the ground and I slept very lightly on the way to our final destination. Once we landed, we saw Cody's mom and it felt so good to be "home"! The sun was shining, the weather was warm, and we were so happy. When we left England it was cold, snowy, and just plain old depressing.
We spent most of the month of February with Cody's relatives, and Cody and I were fortunate to get a few date nights. One night, we went to the Casino and I won $700 playing on the slots. So, Cody turned around and bought pit section tickets at the Jason Aldean concert! I was super excited! I don't think I'll ever beat those seats in the future! haha.
In March, we moved into our house that we own in Pensacola. We had to sleep on blow up mattresses for about a month before our actual furniture made it. We redid some of the house within the first few months of being back. After renting it out for 5 years, it needed some upgrades.
Hailee started school asap and she is happy at her new school. I'm back at school, nearly full time. I'm pretty busy between family, house chores, school, and Hailee's school stuff. I don't want to complain about it, though, because I really wasn't doing much in England, and I hated that. I'm happy that I am busy and that I'm doing something productive for myself. It's challenging but I just keep telling myself that I have to keep pushing through.
Hailee breaked for the summer in June, and we all had a happy summer. We played in the water, and spent some time in Jacksonville. Cody's mom and nieces came up twice, and Cody and I did a mud run. It was our first race event together and we had a blast. I'm looking forward to doing more with him.
Hailee just started school again, and so far so good. She really enjoys being around other kids and socializing. She does, however, keep complaining that they don't go play outside that much. I told her that's the thing about school and getting older, your playtime outside decreases. Poor kid. :)
That's it for now! Take care!
