?. So I know it has been a while since my last post but I have to say we have been a little busy!!! Since I quit my job a few weeks ago the girls and I traveled down to our future town in Louisiana and back! We had such a great time and loved spending all of our time with Chance and family! It was relaxing and busy at the same time! The girls and there cousins are in the beginning stages of a beautiful relationship! Whitney got to ride in a boat for the first time and well she was not as excited as I was because as soon as the boat was in the water she was sleeping! So much for her enjoying the ride! We came back home last week and I have been packing up the house, which there always seems to be something I left out of its specific box! Trying to say organized while chasing around two girls is a difficult task! We will be leaving again to Louisiana for a week or so and than back again!!! We are truly becoming the frequent travelers!!! Hope all is well and love ya!!

It's official! We are officially moving!!! This week we are in Louisiana and loving life! We are staying in am amazing river house or "camp" of which we are truly appreciative to Chance's cousin for letting us stay here!!! The girls are having the time of their lives and I am enjoying some relaxing fun with Chance's wonderful family! Yesterday Chance and Buster took Makenzie and cousins fishing and guess what...she caught her first fish!!! Chance bought her a Dora pole and of course she had to catch a fish, Dora wouldn't have it any other way! On Sunday we went to a benefit for some awesome kids with a terrible disease to help raise money so they could go to a camp this summer. The event was really fun and the music was great! I turned on my laptop this morning in hopes that someone around us would have wireless Internet and they do so I am back on!!! Hope all is well and check out the pics from the last few days!!! Love ya'll!

For those of you who do not know Chance, the girls and I are Moving!!!! In January Chance got a call from a company called Excell which is a contract electrical company and they wanted him to come to work for them. This company from what I have been told is contracted out by major chemical plants to build the electrical part of the new plant they opening later. As of now Chance has been living in Louisiana, outside of Baton Rouge, and working for Excell. He loves his new job and is really doing well. Chance is a smart man and he new some about electrical work but he is really learning alot now. On Monday I turned in my two weeks notice and my last day of work will be two Friday's from now. The ball has begun rolling!!! We plan to pack, clean, do some minor repairs and then sell, so if you know anyone who wants a cute starter home in a great neighbor hood let me know!!! (little self marketing there!) So yes WE ARE MOVING!!! YAY!!! We are going to miss all of you Texans and trust me we will be visiting!!!
Now time for some more good news!!! Chance was in town this weekend to visit the girls and I and one of the things on his most do list was to go and give blood. Chance has his blood work done every month and then we find out what his Kidneys are doing. I called his doctor today to get the results and well the news was great!!! Chance's Kidney function is up 6 percent, which is a big jump for him because normally it goes up a couple of percents and then kinda stays there for a while. He is now at 47 percent, his kidney's are loving Louisiana. Little history, last year Chance's kidney function went down to 15 percent and the doctors were basically telling him to get prepared for Dialysis but there was one more option. The last option was a pill medication which we were scared of because of the side affects but hey we thought lets give it a try! Its paying off!!! Finally!!!
Life is finally starting to improve for us! Thank God!!!! Thank you all for the prayers and conversations and good wishes for us in a time difficulty. Without you we probably would have lost our minds and gone crazy. We love you all and feel so lucky to have such caring and supportive friends and family! Take care!!!

I know this is late but I have been a little busy!!! The girls and I traveled down to the place we will soon call home to see their Daddy and attend a Baptism for the cutest little or shall I say biggest 8 week old baby boy, Reid! On Saturday on our way into Louisiana we stopped off at my Aunts house to see my brothers and sisters, Aunt Melain, Cousins, Papu and Manny Molly! They were having a Mardi Gras party!!! We had a great time hanging out and I was really happy to be out of a car with two toddler girls!! I am soooooo going to buy a portable DVD player for the next trip anyone who has kids knows why!!! That evening we went on to Pierre Part to see the man, Chance! We hung around his cousins house for a bit and then when we could stay awake no longer we headed over to Uncle Brad and Aunt Karen's house! By the way we appreciate everything everyone is doing and has done for our little family! We have the best family and friends! On Sunday we got up and went to church for mass and a Baptism. After the Baptism we went back to Buster and Brandi house for some conversation and spaghetti! When everyone left Chance and Buster took Makenzie and Reese Crawfishin. Makenzie had a amazing time hangin out with her daddy in a boat but unfortunately they only caught 4 crawfish. Maybe next time! I came back home on Monday and can I just tell you that 9:00 pm could not have come sooner! Tired was an understatement! Below are some pictures from our fun filled trip and there will be more to come!!!
