  • A massive update..

    So, we've moved. We now live right down the road from the new walmart. We are loving being so close in now. It takes half the time to get to work, and our friends and families houses. So, yeah, it's nice. We will own this mobile home in just a year. It is in pretty good condition over all. We are going to do improvements as we can though. Starting with floors, Guest bathroom's tub/shower. Then Kitchen cabinets, and countertops. Then the master bathrooms tub. We are going to put a Jacuzzi tub in there, and eventually replace the shower. We are just going to make it the best that it can be. The plan is to live here for five years, then buy our first real house. We will rent this out for $700-$750 per month. With an extremely high deposit.

    But Edwin got a second job with a pest control company. We've more than doubled our income. It's estimated to be at $60,000. after this month. He's also started his online courses for college. So, I'm just trying to make sure that the house is clean, and his clothes are done. I'm also making sure dinner is ready when he gets home. It's okay so far, but we are only in our first week. The pest control company also gave Edwin a truck. He drives it everywhere, and they pay for his gas. My van unfortunately has seen better days. It's o2 sensor is bad, and the air went out. So, I've been driving Edwin's car, and yes I cleaned it completely out the other day. :) The gas bill is really nice. I filled the car up the middle of last week, and I'm just down to a half a tank. yeah, I'm happy. I want to get my van fixed in the next month, but I'm enjoying the small gas bills.

    I'm doing well. I'm just trying to make sure that the house is the cleanest that it can be. ( All except our room. I just never quite get to that) One of these days I'm going to really get all of that done. I swear it. But We are doing well. Hoping to get cable to come out in the next two weeks and set us up. We already have windstream and home phone. We would rather calls to our cells in the evening from 4-8p.m. because we use that line for our fax for Edwin's work.

    The girls are good. I've been taking them to the park the last two days. Kayleigh has actually taken her nap because she was worn slap out. :) That's nice. It's so pretty and decent with the weather outside that I can't help but get them outside. Kamryn is now pulling up to her knees. My little girl is growing up. She weights 22 pounds now. Wow. She's a happy baby and loves to just be on the floor surrounded by toys. Kayleigh is 31 pounds now. She's so tall! My dance dreams for her are shot now, Edwin wants to put her in soccer, so that's the way that it's supposed to be. :) They are great.

    The holidays are coming up, and we will be settled when they come around. I really have to get Kayleigh's fall/winter wardrobe soon! Kayleigh needs new shoes too. Kamryn is set! If only you could all see her 12 month clothes alone..lol.. But seriously, the end of this month I have to start Christmas shopping. I have two kids to shop for now!

    That's my update for now!!

    Oh,
    Here's the pictures of the new washer and dryer we will be getting the end of this month! They are going to be in white.

    Congrats! I am guessing you guys are happy. $700 a month is NOT bad at all. We are paying $600 a month for this rental, but it is just that... a rental. With everything being so tight lately we are barely making those payments.


    And btw, I am jealous of your washer and dryer!!
