My Happy List #9

The last eight months I have been counting down the days until I got to go home. And it has finally come! In less than 12 hours I will be getting on an airplane and headed back home to Idaho! 

I am looking forward to:

Lunch with my good friend Tylyn and maybe her hubby Adam?

Spending time with my God-Parents.

Spending time with Chris' parents. 

Spending time with my momma' and my younger brothers and sisters.

Celebrating Lyric's first birthday with great family!

Getting Lyric Baptized!

Hopefully meeting up with old friends.

My Happy List #8

I am going home! I get to go home next Wednesday! I have been counting down the days for the last eight months! And every week when I link up with My Happy List I realize that it is that one day closer to the day I leave!

Lyric turns one year old this week! I cannot believe how fast time has flown by. It feels like yesterday when I gave birth to her and held her in my arms for the first time. 

Chris has the rest of the week off! So, I get to spend one long weekend with him and he gets to spend one long weekend with Lyric before we leave next week. Yeay! Much needed together time!

My Happy List #7

Today is mine and Chris' one year anniversary!

My Happy List #6

Three weeks from tomorrow and I will be on a plane heading home! I have been counting down the days for the last four months! And it is finally getting closer!

I am happy that I get to go home and see...

My Grama

My Momma

My In-Laws

My Brothers and Sisters

My Two Uncles

My GodParents

A Couple of Friends from School

I am happy that we are in the process of moving into our new place this week! 

I am happy and sad that Lyric has started walking! I cannot believe it!

My Happy List #5

 

24 days until my baby girl isn't a baby anymore. Although, she will always be my baby girl. She will be turning the big 12 months. 1 year old. My where has the last year gone. It just doesn't seem possible that Lyric is going to be a year old. It is too hard to believe. 

29 days until I get to go home! I haven't been home since March. I miss my family, my friends, and home. I am looking forward to spending 16 days with my family, friends, and of course Chris' family, my in-laws. 

Lyric is going to be baptized when me and her go home. I am really looking forward to that. My uncle will be coming home for the weekend to take pictures of the baptism and her birthday party that we are going to have. 

I'll be getting a much needed mocha from Moxie Java with my grama and her friend Nadine. That is one bummer to living on the other side of the country. We don't have any Moxie Javas. But we have StarBucks. And I don't care for StarBucks. I prefer Moxie Java.

I will get to see all my lovies from the nursing home that I worked at up until I had Lyric. After I had her I decided that I was going to be a stay at home momma. And I have loved it so much. But I do miss being able to see my residents from the nursing home. I hope that they are as excited to see me and Lyric as I am going to be excited to see them!

I finally got to use my sewing machine yesterday afternoon/evening. It took forever to figure out what I was doing. But after awhile I finally got the hang of it. I can't wait to start sewing things for our home and for Lyric. 

Has anyone else seen all the different kinds of furniture that you can make with shipping pallets? Well, I am excited that we are going to be making some furniture with shipping pallets. I have found a few crafts that I have fallen in love with and don't think that I could live without making. So, me and Chris are going to be working on furniture soon for our home. We are going to be making a sofa, a coffee table, end tables, book shelves, a desk, a dining room table, and maybe cover a wall. I think that it is all going to look amazing once it is all done.

Oh, and me and Lyric got our flu shots! I am very happy about that. Another perk to having a hubby in the service. We didn't have to pay to get our immunizations!    

My Happy List #4

This last weekend I went and had my pictures taken. Boudoir pictures to be precise. Boy, was it funn! I can't wait to do it again. It was an experience that is for sure. And an experience that I am never going to forget. 

 

 I love watching Lyric eat spaghetti! And this is exactly why!

 

She puts her feet up on her food tray and gets food on her feet and then puts her feet into her mouth and eats what is on her toes. It was too cute! And I wasn't sure that I was going to be able to get the picture.
