Beautiful new home

We are now comfortably in our new house! We still have a lot of boxes in the garage that need to be sorted through to figure out what to keep and put in the attic, and what can be given away. However, everything is pretty much in the house and organized......for the most part. I still have some pictures and decor to hang, but we'll get that all done eventually. We've been in about 2 1/2 weeks and it definitely feels good to be settled. More space is nice too. Kayla has a play room which is great, and she has a bigger room. The owners of the house are military also and when they heard we have a little girl, they left their daughter's room painted. Apparently their daughter loved Tinkerbell and when Kayla saw the huge Tinkerbell wall, she loved it. It is the only "fancy" room in the house, hah! We also have a garage which Kyle has set up his work out stuff in. Plus once the boxes are in the attic, I'll be able to park in there! One of my favorite parts of the house is the huge back deck. It is gorgeous. We need to get a couple chairs and table to set out there but it's fun to go back there, throw the ball for the dogs and let Kayla play. 

We've been very busy with the house and Kyle was back on nights. He started nights the Monday after we moved in. Of course ya'll all know by now how much we hate the schedule and it looks like prayers have been answered because he got a call yesterday morning (was supposed to work last night) saying he's being switched off of the shift schedule! YAY! So he didn't have to go in last night, but this morning. I got an email from him saying he should be home by 4! I'm not sure the exact schedule yet, he'll fill me in more when he gets home, but we both think it'll be more of a M-F day schedule only. Whew! It sure will be much better on his sleeping schedule and I might actually know what day it is once in awhile!

I'm just about done with my photography course. I only have two modules left and I am so proud of myself! I know I'm not done yet, but I have a tendency of not finish things, so this is a big deal for me. I'm glad I finally found something I love also and know I want to pursue. No matter what, I am always taking pictures and even if I can't settle in to it and make a career of it just yet, I know it's an amazing hobby and I'll just get better with practice! 

We are STILL potty training. It's mostly my fault for not buckling down but with the move and all the craziness of unpacking, I hadn't forced myself of Kayla to work on it much. On the days we do buckle down, she does well. I have to ask her a lot if she has to go, but the other night, she ran to the bathroom and went all on her own! Kyle and I were so proud! She was doing that back in Oct, then the holidays through us off, then the move. Ugh, so it's definitely crunch time!

Here are the pictures of the house. Since we've been busy with that, I don't have many other pics for now but I'll have more for the next update for sure! We have room now so come visit! Enjoy the pictures!
