Adjustments

So
much has happened since I last posted 6 months ago (whoops, been busy I guess). I don't really even know where to begin, but so I don't draw out a long post I will bullet point the highlights.
  • Aaron graduated from The TX Game Warden Academy in July, so very proud of him!
  • We moved to Del Rio, it is where the academy thought he would best fit. The Mexico border is literally 3 miles from our front door. We have been told several times if we were to get a border town we got the best, as far as crime. So far I would have to agree, the most excitement Aaron has seen is a Mexican Black Bear in a tree by one of the Elementary Schools. Aaron LOVES his job so I will support him in whatever choice he makes
  • Noelle and I took our first trip to VA, to see friends and family. It was her first flight and she did well, I was very blessed to have dads next to me on the returning flights so they knew things to help keep her occupied. It was nice to see old friends and my family, I had missed them all so much!
  • Noelle had been a sick free until we moved then twice in two weeks we had to make ER visits. The ER was a last resort but when you live in a town with only 2 pediatricians and 1 isn't accepting new pts. and the other can't get you in for over a month, a mother does what she has to do. The first ER trip Noelle was diagnosed with a severe double inner ear infection (BOO!). The second was for a stomach bug, granted I know these must run their course but she wasn't able to keep ANYTHING down and hadn't had a wet diaper in almost 12 hours, so dehydration was the main concern.
  • Noelle turned ONE!! (This bullet deserves its own post, and I will do one soon. I just wanted to keep everyone updated.)
  • Our family started going to the FBC of Del Rio, everyone is very welcoming and kind. A huge plus is their nursery, on any given Sunday there are between 5-15 babies! Aaron and I love the fact Noelle is getting play time with kids her own age!
  • Lastly, Noelle and I started attending a Women's Bible Study on Tuesday mornings. I/ we really enjoyed ourselves. It's nothing but SAHM and their kiddos so Noelle had the best time playing and I got to enjoy some much needed fellowship.
Well I guess I have babbled enough for this boring and picture-less post, I can't find my camera. I will update soon with Noelle's 1st Birthday Party, and all the DIY stuff I made for it. Yes, that's right I made EVERYTHING for her party from decorations, invitations, cake, cupcakes, and everything in between.
