Wow... Major Update Needed

My apologies for not writing about my latest adventures, I must be honest and openly admit that I have been far to busy being in love. ♥ As well as caring for my new baby, and beginning the school year with subbing.

First things first, Steve and I went on vacation leaving on September 5th and returning on the 12th. Hands down, we had the time of our lives. We came out still loving and caring about each other and turned out having a much stronger relationship with one another. We took off and headed for Felton, Minnesota to visit Samantha and Darrin. We had a great time in the small town of Felton. It was fun meeting Samathana and Darrin as well as being in a new state. It was a very relaxing time for both of us.

Upon leaving Felton, Steve and I decided to take an extra day or so to get home. We drove to West Yellowstone and stayed the night there in order to wake up early the next morning and spend the next day driving all through Yellowstone National Park.

We took a ton more pictures, (I'll try and add more later). Steve and I had an incredible time and honestly didn't want to return home. We loved that part of the country and loved spending quality time together.

When we returned home, we headed to pick up our new bundle of joy (well sometimes..). Welcome Home Izzy!

Although I must say, honestly, these pictures don't do her justice now. She is much bigger, more playful, and a bit of a devil at times. (I say this as she peacefully sleeps at my feet right now). Steve and I both love her so much and enjoy watching her grow and learn. She's catching on to training pretty well, and loves to rough-house with Zeus. She's definitely a great addition to my life-- even though she loves her daddy more.

The school year has begun and I have been subbing a few days. It's been a ride to say the least, but it's so nice to be back to work and know that a paycheck will soon be on it's way. Although by the end of the day, working with kiddos for 8 hours, chasing Izzy around, trying to keep things in order, I find that I am very exhausted. And Izzy doesn't understand the concept of cuddling up for a nap with mama yet...

Steve has been studying and testing for Central Pierce Fire Department. This has meant that our weekends are cut short as far as time together, and he's had to be dedicated to hittin' the books. It's exciting to support him in a big decision like this. He passed the physical aspect of the process and this Sunday is heading back up to take the written-- Fingers are crossed for you babe! ♥

Next week looks a little less hectic for me, hopefully that will mean that I can write on here more often-- maybe in between trips outside to potty train Izzy. Steve will be done studying, and then will be getting his wisdom teeth pulled out... when does this grown up business end!? He claims he doesn't need anyone to take care of him... but if you know me in any way at all... he'll be a spoiled patient.

Like I said... Busy in Love ♥ And have never been happier.
