Last 6 months in review..

When I last left off Rayna was 6 months old, and we had just sold our house only to land us in one GIANT nightmare. My oh my, how things can change in 6 short months.

After we sold our house we found ourselves living out of bags and boxes with family. First, we stayed with daddies aunt. She was so nice to open up her house to us, but the space was just too small. So, we soon found ourselves living in Santa Fe with daddies mom. It was a MUCH bigger space, but we were 45 minutes from home. Missing our friends and family, we tried to adjust while we searched for a new home.

In the mean time, it was time to try and give potty training a go with Rayce. At first he was no where near ready. He would scream and kick, just plain out refuse to sit on the thing. Several accidents and tears later, I decided it was time to give potty training a break and give it a go later on. Looking back I'm so glad we did this.

Before I knew it, it was time for the holiday's. Spending the holiday's away from home was probably one of the hardest things I've had to do in awhile. It was a very depressing time for me actually. It was just not the same. But we made it through.

Then, somewhere in all the holiday madness, Daddy lost his job. How could this happen? All of our dreams of becoming new home owners quickly came crashing down. Left once again left feeling hopeless, we quickly learned to lean on each other. We came to terms with the situation and decided to use the time to spend some much needed family time together.

Daddy quickly found a new job and we decided it was time to move back home. We would continue our quest in finding a new home. Trying once again to conquer our dreams of becoming new home owners. We would run into many obstacles along the way but, we refused to give up. We are now 1 week away from closing! Drained, tired, and frustrated, we are so glad the process is finally going to be over with.

Our little princess just turned 1 and Rayce is now 3 and fully potty trained. They say, "what makes you weak can only make you stronger". I can honestly say, (now that I see a light at the end of the tunnel)that I hold this to be true. I feel like a better woman, wife, and mom because we were able to over come such a stressful time in our lives.
