It has been a rough couple of weeks. On April 24 we gave Heidi to a new family. It was really really hard on us but we were not being good pet owners. She was not potty trained and it was not something I could do right now. I am trying so hard to be the best wife and mom and trying to train a dog too was just too much.

On April 29 Calebs great grandmother passed away. We went up to Michigan to see her on the 24th and came home the 26th. It was unexpected. She was one of my favorite people. Her name was Magdalena and while I was pregnant I found out that she went by Laney and right when Caleb and I heard that we knew that is what we wanted to name our baby girl. She was 85 years old and quick as a whip. She had the best sense of humor and loved her family SO much! Every time she would come down to Indiana she would tell me all about her granddaughters kids, she loved telling me all about them.


On May 4th Calebs friend Evan Poteet passed away. They went to high school together and he has worked at Jets since they opened. I am so incredibly sad, I am trying my best to help Caleb and help him grieve. Caleb has been raising money at Jets for Evans family. I don't even know what to say.......my heart hurts so badly for his family. I cant even imagine the pain they are going through. I am at a loss of words. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

its been a long time

Since I posted....

So much has been going on! We have been here for over two weeks now and we love it! There is a lot to get used to, like we have forgotten to take the trash out both times it has come :p We also set up recycling which I LOVE expect that they gave me one of those old tiny recycling bins....that is going to last me a week and they only come every other week.I want to paint and decorate everything, but it is a slow process since its pretty pricey.

We did paint Laney's room right away I will post pictures of that later, she is sleeping right now so I cant take any!

I have been doing some little inexpensive changes. I really wanted a table for Laney, she is really into writing and coloring. She has a few notebooks that she carries around and writes in. Lately she has been making baby signs and mommy and daddy signs. I have NO idea where that came from :) She also draws castles, cirlcles, rectangles and triangles hehe not really but she says she is drawing them:p So I took a side table that was too small to go next to our bed now that we have it up on a frame and painted it for Lane!

The table before, I painted it black years ago when I lived with Jenny

I sanded off the top of it since it was all bumpy, the black paint was cheap.

Then I primed it a million times

Daddy and Laney decided to help me paint! It was so much fun. I loved it:)

So serious

Finished product! The paint color is Summer Haze by Martha Stewart. I love pink but I didn't want another piece of pink furniture:) Now I have to repaint the chairs, I haven't decided exactly what I want to do to them yet.

Have a creative Monday!

I'm still here

I have been so busy with unpacking I haven't been blogging or reading any blogs! My reader is up to 500:( I hate when that happens! I really want to post pictures of the new house and maybe a video walk through idk would that be weird? I don't know how to post videos so I will have to get Caleb to help me! Right now I am laying down watching bones and eating gold fish(my new addiction). I hope to post again soon!

Have a relaxing night!

!!!!!!!!!

We are closing on our house right now! I am going to watch Caleb sign around 250 papers:p we are sooooo excited!

Three years

Today Caleb and I have been together for three years. How has it only been three years?!?!?! We have had the most amazing and eventful relationship.

We met on March 6, 2009 and started dating March 25. We spent every day together, we moved in together in early August.

hehehehe crazy kids

On October 26 we found out we were pregnant:)

 Christmas 2009 Caleb proposed:)

June 30. 2010 we welcomed Laney Marie Christensen into the world:)

 July 9, 2011 I became Katherine Elizabeth Christensen and finally had the same name as my husband and baby girl!

On Thursday we close on our first house! I cant believe we have been through so much in so little time!
I love my little family so much!

Have a sassy night!

Homeless

Right now we are homeless.....kind of. We are living at my moms house while we are waiting to close on our house which is on the 28th!!!!! aahhh I cant believe it! We have really been enjoying living here with my mom and Maddy. Yesterday was my moms birthday so we grilled out and then after dinner we went for a run:) It was the first time I have run in a very very long time and it felt great! I thought it was going to be miserable but it felt so good! I pushed Laney in the jogging stroller and put Heidi underneath in the basket where you put your purse:) We are going out again tonight!

I am enjoying this weather so much, Laney and I are outside ALL time! She doesn't ever want to come inside:) It is so much easier to be outside here at my moms than at my apartment. She has a big back yard for Laney and Heidi to play in. This morning we read books on the driveway and played with Laneys baby Stella. It has been an incredibly relaxing morning.

I will post pictures later:)

Have a sunny Wednesday

Moving

Sorry I have not been posting we are in the process of moving! We got our pod at noon today and we are already done! Thanks to Elisa! Now we are all laying on my bedroom floor waiting for laney to wake up so we can go out to eat:) don't mind all the random crap in the background:p and no they are not twins:)
