I know! I know!

Ok - So I'm a month behind. But let me tell you... a lot has happened this month. So the last I posted Daniel was up for a job... well, he GOT IT! He started his first day at Verizon Wireless on April 29th, 2010. This is THE job to have out here. He's only been there a week, but so far he is loving it. This job offers a lot of room for advancement which is going to be great for Daniel. And the benefits just go on and on and on. To name a few, 50% off Verizon Wireless services (so I expect we'll be switching very soon lol), a gym on site, a COLLEGE on site (with tuition PAID and books reembursed.), great medical & dental benefits for the whole family from day 1, and so so much more! Oh,and the pay's not bad either. ;) We are all so excited that he got this job!

Next up... we MOVED! We are now in our own beautiful apartment! We were so blessed to have my wonderful in-laws to stay with when we first moved but we could only share a room with Brooke for so long. LOL Our apartment is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom and 1275 sq/ft and it's only 7 minutes from Daniel's work. There is a beautiful pond (with ducks!) right downstairs that we can see from our rooms and balcony. The kids each have their own bedroom and Brooke even has her very own bathroom! She is so gracious and even shares it with her little brother when he needs to take a bath. Brooke has also graduated from her toddler bed and now sleeps in a big girl bed. She's done very well with all of the change that's occurred in the last few months... both of our kids have. They're troopers. =)

Bradley now has 4, count them, 1, 2, 3, 4 teeth! Newest location is the other bottom middle tooth. poor guy, as soon as one tooth gets situated he pops out another. At this rate he'll have a full set of teeth by his first birthday. Which is Aug 5th for those of you who like to shop early. ;)

We are searching for a Pre-School for Brookie right now. Another one of the benefits of Daniel working for Verizon is discounts on Pre Schools. We went and looked at one on Tue and it was really nice, but a bit out of our price range... even with the discount. We have a few more to check out and hopefully we'll find the perfect one... for the perfect price. =) We are also on a search for a good church, hopefully one close to our new home. We've checked out a few that we really liked but they're a tad far from where we are now. Brooke loves meeting all of the new kiddos every week.

Alright well, I think that's about it for now. I've got lots of unpacking to do and now that we have internet, I PROMISE I'll update more. =) Now for what you've all been waiting for... pictures.

Pantry!

The other side of the pantry which has our washer/dryer hook ups. Oh, did I mention that we need a new dryer? Turns out Alabama doesn't use gas... for anything. Fail!

Brooke's room and her new big girl bed. =) The door on the left is her bathroom.

Brooke's room again... and her window where she watches the Ducks swim in the pond.


Brooke's closet... big right?




Living room and dining area.


Kitchen and door to pantry/laundry room. The cabinets aren't pink either... I don't know why they look like they are. LOL


Living room from the dining area. Door straight back leads to patio. On the right is to our bedroom, on the left is to Brooke's.



Bradley's room... with Daddy and Bradley playing. =)












That's all the photos I have for now. Apparently I forgot to take any pictures of our bedroom/bathroom. Oops. Well, now I have another reason to update. Oh yeah, here's one more... just because.
