What an eventful last few months! Right when I think things are just amazingly well for us, the lord hands us more trials. Sometimes I think how in the world am I suppose to get though these things, somehow I find the comfort to do so and the lord always blesses us. I become a stronger person, wife, mother and friend. At the time of the trial I seem to ask myself why, and then after all my blessings I receive from that trial I understand why I am given the trials I receive.
So here is kinda what's been going on the last few months, My husband graduated and is now a Meteorologist. I am so proud of him, for chasing his dreams. He managed to graduate in one of the top in his class, and really tried to do his best. Danny's parents flew into Mississippi for his graduation, we were so happy to have them come visit us. With everything that was going on, we thought it would be better if the military moved us, that is what we wanted to do, but plans changed very quickly as we found out we would have to move our self's. We made some changes and before you knew it everything was packed and loaded into a huge moving truck, with the help of some wonderful missionaries and our Mom and Dad Davis. So we celebrated and @ the same time packed, said our goodbyes to the wonderful friends we made and got on the road. Danny's next station would be in Tucson Arizona, it took us a day and a half to get there where we loaded our stuff into a storage unit, locked it up and got on the road again to home sweet Idaho. Finally after 40 hours in the car we made it to Rexburg Idaho. We were all so excited that our heart were pounding very fast, and none of us could even try to wipe the smiles off of our faces. I told nobody in my family where we were, in fact they all thought we were still in Tucson, thinking Danny had military stuff he had to take care of. But there was no Military anything that had to be taken care of, we just really wanted to surprise everyone, which we did. The first stop was @ my twinners, I knocked on her door, she came slowly. She opened the door, and I will never forget the look on her face, just the biggest smile I had ever seen. After 8 months of not seeing each other, we grabbed each other and cried happy tears. We went and surprised my parents and little sister, the look on all there faces was priceless. My mom grabbed Court, and hung on to her tight. It was an amazing night to finally be with our family again, could not of been more happy to be home. Almost everyday we were busy having the times of our life's, not one minute was wasted, unless we were not feeling well. We ended up getting the flu a few times, but right when we were well enough to go play, we did. A lot of times we spent at the grandparents house, playing, watching movies, playing cards, chatting, shopping and just being our fun crazy self's. I loved watching our girls reunite with there cousins. When we moved from Idaho to Mississippi Kaydrie was only a few months. So when our family saw her again she was a totally different little girl, who enjoyed playing with them all. Courtlynn really needed her cousins, it had seemed like a life time to her without them. With Christmas right around the corner I started wrapping presents, I realized a bunch of the gifts that were suppose to make it to Idaho didn't. I didn't think my girls would get much of a Christmas. Well with a little shopping and all the wonderful gifts everyone gave us, we were all overly spoiled and had the best Christmas ever. This year all we wanted for Christmas was to be with our family and friends in Idaho. Our wish came true, plus more. The memories we shared with everyone, were the best gift anyone could ask for. It was so nice to spend time and make new memories with all our friends and family. Before we knew it, it was time to head to our new home in Tucson. It was so hard to say goodbye, but soon we will see each other again.
Here we are in Tucson Arizona, loving our new home. We have never lived in a home before with our little family and now finally we have a house we can call a home. So happy to not be in a small apartment. There is more space then what we even know what to do with, I am seeing fun craft projects for the future. Courtlynn is loving our back yard, I think she thinks it is just hers. Can't wait to put some fun toys back there. Today It is January 24th, normally in Idaho we would be playing in the snow, freezing our bums off, but here in Arizona, in January you can wear shorts and flip flops. Nights get a little chilly so we pull out the jackets, LOL. It is so funny cause some people here think it is freezing, so you see them dressing like it is in the negatives outside when the lowest it gets at night is in the 30's, Haha they have no idea what cold is. Not sure if I am so excited about the hot, hot summer, maybe it will be nice to get a good tan though, and we will also have a lot of swimming and BBQ days.
The girls are doing amazingly well, they keep me going everyday. Courtlynn is at the age where she loves to learn new things. She knows two different alphabet songs now, can write her name with no questions, we are in the process of getting her ready for school. Everyday she learns something new, and comes running to tell me. She loves singing and dancing, it is so cute, when she sings she sounds like our little opera singer. I can see her on Broadway already! We just bought the Kinect. It is kinda like the Wii but better. She loves planning her games or playing with mom and dad. Right now it is still the cool thing to play with us, and I love every minute of it. Courtlynn loves to be a little mama to Kaydrie, and even though Kaydrie seems to get bigger, Courtlynn still wants her to be the brand new baby she was in the beginning. Every now and then Kaydrie will pipe up and tell Court that she needs some space, yet our Courtie just wants to love her to pieces. Sometimes it is hard for Courtlynn when she feels Kaydrie is taking over her toys, but always seems to do what is right and share with her sissy. Courtlynn has a special place for Kaydrie in her heart, she would do anything for her. Danny and I are both really close with our Courtie! She loves to help here daddy in all that he does, and yet loves to do all the girly things with her mom. Not a day goes by that she does not try to tell us that she is boss, and yes we do have to remind her who the real bosses are, LOL. Sometimes it is so hard not to laugh, when she tries to take charge, we surely adore our sweet girl, whom will always be our angel baby in our eyes. Kaydrie still is and I think always will be our happy baby. She is so full of life. Right now she loves to get into everything she is not suppose to, and loves to beller out at the top of her lungs just so she can be heard. Thankfully she has not figured out how to climb up the stairs yet, but I know it is just right around the corner. She can walk with her walker and loves to pull herself up to things just because she can and to be apart of things. Right when I think I have everything up high enough, I end up having to find I higher place for things. Kaydrie loves her sister, they both are very musical, and when Court sings, Kaydrie sings with her. When Court dances Kaydrie wants to dance as well. She loves her food, anything that is messy! We have given almost everything we eat to her to eat and she has done really well with it all. She loves her food so much she tries to shove it in her mouth so fast. People probably think we are starving her. If Courtlynn, Daddy or I eat something in front of her, she will pipe up and let you know she wants some, haha so funny! If you say hello, goodbye, or hi to Kaydrie she will wave it is so darn cute. If you turn your head to the side she will turn her head to the side. She is quite the little copy cater, oh no what did we get our self's into?:) Kaydrie loves and adores both mom and Dad, but I think for the time being wants more of what mom has. She loves to have all the attention at all times. We love her dearly, and are so excited for more of her spunky, sweet personality to shine. Geez we are so proud of our girls and love all they do. So grateful for all the wonderful friends and family we have, whom have all helped us along the way. Thanks to everyone for all the amazing support, we are truly grateful for you all!
