Lots and lots of things have changed since I last wrote. I was reading back on my previous post and got a little misty reading about my babies and where we were in our lives. Greyson wasn't even walking and Ayla was still learning how to conversate. Life flies by whether you like it or not I guess.
We are now in Colorado, both kids are in school full time, Job is the regional manager of the west coast with GE, and I am working at an elementary school as an aid.
Job was promoted to take over the whole west coast for GE as a regional manager. He manages from Colorado North, South and West. He is in charge of growing the west coast for his company and travels A LOT. It's part of the job but we sure do love when he is home with us rather than out in other states. He really enjoys what he does and I can't complain seeing how happy he is.
I landed a job at the kids elementary school. I work part time and get to see them every single day. It really is a fantastic job for that perk alone. I love being able to get to know the teachers, the friends, and first hand info on what's happening in the school. I LOVE being in Colorado but there are things I miss from back home. The mountains are amazing to look at every day, and trust me, I make sure I look at them at minimum once a day. I love the sunshine we have, I can count the number of cloudy days on one hand. The people are nice and it has all the great shopping I love. BUT I really dislike the wind we get, it's seriously ridiculous. Wind is not fun, makes it very hard to be outside and enjoy yourself. I also don't love how brown everything is, there aren't very many trees, grass, or flowers. It's definietly a "dessert climate". BUt I am going with the flow and enjoying my time here because anyoen who knows me knows, we move a lot haha.
Ayla is doing very well. I think she misses her house, friends, and life back in Ohio but she is adjujsting pretty well and has made some nice friendships here. She hasn't decided if she wants to continue on with sports or go another direction so she is taking a break to figure out what she is interested in at this point in her life. She is an amazing student and has been put in the "advanced" reading classes. She reads like crazy and really enjoys flying through chapter books. She is such a sweetie and is really growing in to her own. She cracks me up because I think she has actually surpassed me in the "girly" catagory. and I am loving every minute of it! She still LOVES being outside and will choose that over anything else. She is a pretty amazing little girl!
Greyson is such a happy kid. Always making someone smile or laugh. Very rarely is he upset and finds joy in EVEYRETHING he does. He started kindgarten this year and has just masterd every skill he has been asked to do. He is very advanced in his math skillls and reading skills but since they don't "officially" have advanced classes until 2nd grade his teacher and I have been workign with him to keep his skill level up and also make sure he doesn't get bored. He is a SUPER smart boy, but I might be a litte bias :-) He hasn't decided on what types of things he wants to do outside of school either so we are exploring different options for him to do. He is very interested in baseball and football so I am looking to see what we can do.. He is such a sweet little by and loves his family. I just love being around him because I know when he is around there is no way I can be anything but happy...
Now that we have caught up on where we are and what we are doing... lets see if I can keep this blog thing going... I loved being able to read up previous post and see what we were doing and were the kids were at in their lives. I would love to try to keep blogging just to be able to read the memories and see what life was all about along the journey...
