Shoes!!!

Well I found my love of shoes again. It has been years since I have felt this. I think it may become a new obsession. I found a couple of pairs of shoes lately that I just absolutely fell in love with and had to have. My sister-in-law Vanessa sacrificed and let me have the brown polka dot pair, even thought she wanted them really bad. Now to find the perfect outfit to go with them!!!

Letting go......

I thought this day would be an exciting day for me. I thought the freedom would be very welcome by me. I was looking forward to this day I thought. Today was the first day of school for my two youngest. Nicole and Skyler are both starting kindergarten and will be there all day. Nicole I am used to her going to school, since she has been attending preschool for the last 2 years. Skyler was so excited today and wouldn't take off his overloaded backpack all morning. We walked them to the bus stop and waited patiently (well the parents did anyway) for the bus to arrive. They got on the bus and found a seat where they could wave at us from the window. It was then it hit me, my babies are growing up. Skyler would not be home with me during the day and I felt the tears start falling down my face. He was so brave and I fell apart. Now I am sitting in a too quiet empty house and I am having mixed feelings. I am excited for them to start school and to learn and have fun, but I can honestly say, I miss the noise, the distractions, yes even their arguing. I know each day will get better and that I will be able to let go. But until then I miss my babies.

Where has the time gone?

Yep, I am still alive, but have really neglected my poor blog. I even gave it a little make over. Well alot has happened in the Bennett household since my last post. Walter's parents flew out to visit for the summer. One night right before father's day we went out to dinner and we were looking at a house magazine while waiting to be seated. I ended up finding one I really liked and commented on. The next day my dear sweet hubby looked at the website for the realtor who had the home listed and found a home for rent in a town nearby. So I called the realtor right away to schedule a showing. We headed out to look at the house and I fell in LOVE!!! It was gorgeous!!! So we filled out an application to rent. Then she informed us that another couple had put in an application too. So we waited and waited. Meanwhile I started looking at some of the other houses in the same developement that were listed for rent. I found a 5 bedroom 3 1/2 bath home that had a living room, family room, formal dining room and rec room with 3800 SF in the same neighborhood for rent. So we scheduled a showing for that house. I thought this one would work much better for us. So again we put in the application. Which in turn helped the other landlords pick the other couple for their house. Within a few hours we found out we got the 5 bedroom house and a few days later we were moving!!! It all happened in a weeks time. It had everyone's head spinning since we were not even considering moving just the week before and now we were loading a truck. So Walter's parents are moving out to live with us and we are so excited!!! Walter's sister came to visit last week and ended up getting a job where he works so she is headed back in a couple of weeks to join us here. It is all so exciting and amazing to see the way everything has fallen into place. So here are some pics of the house. I still have alot more to take, but those will come as we get settled.
