New beginnings!!!

I've been off the blog for a few weeks trying to settle in.  We officially moved this month.  It was a bunch of drama because moving is not fun and it is always difficult; but because it was very sudden I just didn't get a chance to really prepare or organize.  That means a huge mess of everything.  I can't find 1/2 our stuff and I found out only after I changed addresses that my house doesn't receive mail.  With that said it has been quite nice.  

I live in a beautiful small community outside of my already small town.  It is called Mesilla and if you are ever traveling through the El Paso/Las Cruces area you need to come here b/c there is a beautiful plaza and amazing food.  We live outside of the plaza in an area filled with pecan trees.  The kids love it here!  



The boys are big in their bunk beds bunked for the first time and Rachel somehow got a room 2x bigger than the master and the boys room... figures!  It is all tile and so cleaning is easier.  The hardest thing I'm struggling with is lawn work.  OMG!!!  So we bought duckies to eat weeds and things like that.  Each of us got to name one and the twins came up with very mature names for their ducks: Poop Poo and Pee Pee.  



It has been a really weird couple of months.  Chris is still trying to figure somethings out.  I guess time will tell but I am hopeful.  In the mean time I got some incredibly wonderful but still frustrating news.  I am first alternate for ASU's dramatic Writing MFA program.  It is the best program in the region and there were over 150 applicants for two spots so I'm literally that close in catching lightning.  The department head told me I still have a really great shot at making it, so time will tell.  If I do than that will be another can of worms and for now I'm not dealing with that.  


We did do our first family long distance road trip to Las Vegas.  I'll share some neat pictures later this weekend or in the week once I can hook my camera up. We got to spend some amazing time with my sister.





I don't know how long though for several reasons I will be where we are at now but we are just making it as best we can.  In the mean time I'm just focusing on my babies and trying to keep going forward with a lot of faith!  I feel like these days I'm just sort of going with the flow waiting to see how the chips will
