More travels

No, I'm not posting pictures of our trip to California; although I should be since that was over a week ago (but I'm actually supposed to be working on homework right now...). 

My wonderful wife has found a job West of the Mississippi.  We are moving to the Phoenix area around the third week in May.  We are super excited about it and can't wait to be back West.  We have been looking for a job for several months and this seems to be the best fit for our family at this time.  She will be working at an orthopedic physical therapy clinic.  We will be about 5 hours from her family and a pretty good distance away from mine. It will be an adjustment, for sure.  We are unsure which area of Phoenix because there are three different clinics that are possibilities and we want to be closest to the clinic where she works.  We most likely will find out which clinic she will be working with when we move there so we will be in limbo until then as to where we may live.  We have several friends in the area that have offered lodging if needed.  Hopefully, we can just move there, find a place in a day or two, and move in.  

As for me, I will apply to ASU's Marriage and Family Therapy Program for Fall '13 and hope to get in.  In the meantime, I will be Mr. Mom and maybe pick up a part time job, if needed.  

April Photo Challenge Day 22

Day 22: The last thing I bought

It just so happens to be the last thing I bought is one of my most favorite desserts, custard.  I purchased it from Eddie's, a local here in Hammond.  However, I am not impressed with their business.  It was 2 hours from closing and they ran out of the flavor of the day.  I'm excited that I will no longer have to deal with this.  Culvers, here we come!!

Challenge Day 21: Bottle

April Photo Challenge Day 20

Day 20: Something You Drew

April Photo Challenge Day 19

I know this picture is a little different but it shows the color orange in two ways. The piece of rug behind my head is very orange and was my original intent for the picture. However, when I accidentally captured my new red Rainbow sandal in the picture, the sandal became orange and the rug is more yellow. Crazy how the eye of the camera changes color depending on what is in frame.

Challenge: Orange

4 Months Cuteness

Here is a picture of our cute baby, Kaylor. She is now 4 months old (as of yesterday). She does NOT like to sit down so we had to stand her up for the picture. We also found this hat at Hobby Lobby. Freakin' adorable, I know!

April Photo Challenge days 6-18

So, I took a little vacay with the family to Cali (blog posts to come later) and I didn't really have a steady access to or the time to use a computer. So, here are my photo challenge entries in order.

Day 6: Lunch

Day 7: Shadow

Day 8: What's in your wallet; Disneyland Tickets. They sell these at the local grocery store in Cali!

Day 9: A younger you; me with the easter bunny, maybe 2?

Day 10: Cold; my parents let us have their freezer, mainly to store it for them until they get into their own place again. I found this in the freezer when I opened it. It's my parent's laundry soap. I guess it goes bad after a while?

Day 11: Where I ate breakfast. While I was in Cali, our little girl really started going down for naps easily (even though as I'm typing this blog post, she is screaming to get out of her bed). We even put her on the floor on a blanket and she passed out. This is what I saw as I ate breakfast.

Day 12: Stairs; Who needs stairs when you have a papa around to lift you up.

Day 13: Something you found; We went to Babies R Us and Toys R Us to find this and we found it at Cosco, when we weren't even looking for it. HA! We want it so bad!

Day 14: How you feel today. (This line reminds me of the line from RENT, "How do you feel today?" If you can tell me which song it's in, we can be friends:-))I really didn't feel this way today but I LOVE the movie Madagascar so when I saw this, I had to tag it.

Day 15: Sunset; I forgot to take this.

Day 16: Flowers; These were at the place we took family pictures with Ginny's family. I LOVE bird of paradise.

Day 17: Something I don't like; I don't like anyone taking pictures of me while I'm sleeping but my sister loves it. I also don't like my pit sweat or my Dr. Pepper belly.

Day 18: Hair; My cousin Leesa (Lolita) has a hair cutting phobia. I tried to find the technical term for it because no one has named it yet. The closest thing I could find is Trichotillomania which is the disorder associated with pulling out your own hair, the opposite of what Leesa fears. She has anxiety anytime someone cuts their hair. So, she's what I think of when I think of hair. Here she is holding my pride and joy, my hairless beauty. I know she looks like a boy because of the outfit but it is indeed Kaylor.
