We moved in!

Monday, 03 December 2007

Well, on the busiest weekend we've had here lately, we chose to move in. But we did it. Friday night we had the Maxwell Wedding Rehearsal, Saturday we had the Maxwell Wedding, Sunday we went to church, Jason to the house, me to Mom & Dad's to pack up our stuff, and then the whirlwind began. I took a Vous full of boxes, luggage, crap to the house, and Mom followed close behind with the rest of the stuff. Well, I should say more stuff...because we've already exchanged a few emails this morning with a list of things we've forgot there! Dropped that off, left at 1:15pm for my first baby shower, did that at 2:15-4:30....the Hall side, VERY fun, and so many neat things. Now I'm really getting excited. It's all becoming more and more real! (8 weeks to baby by the way). It was great to be with family all afternoon, and it really meant a lot to me to have Gram Hall there. I think she enjoyed it, although, she assured me she'd get in a good nap when she got back!! Back to the house by 5pm, and immediately through the door...Jason asks -- "Okay, where do you want things"....we unpacked all the baby goodies to the nursery, and then started in other other boxes laying around. Finally, about 7:30, after Brad & Jacki, John & Jess all went home...we started to slow down. At 8:30...I had to call it quits. We were both hungry, and my feet were about to explode.

As we ate supper, and watched the big screen TC (CARS, the movie since we don't have dish or direct yet...) we kept asking each other "What was that", "Did you hear that?"  We chalked it up to a windy night, and getting used to a new house and it's sounds.

Regardless, what a relief to have moved into our own place. We'll keep working on it, and little by little, get things put back together. Much thanks goes out to anyone and everyone who helped us along the way. We owe several people pretty big...but are more than welcome to return the favor when the time comes.

Look for pictures soon. Hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday. Happy Monday!

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Two + Two + One more = FIVE

Yup, you read that right, by the end of July, the Stockment's will officially be a family of five. Jason and I learned in mid-November that we were expecting our third child and we were both overjoyed with the news. (More so than I thought Jason would be -- he wasn't convinced on having another (or should I say, not as convinced as I was), but once he saw that baby's heartbeating on the monitor at the docs office, he couldn't keep it a secret anymore!!) I convinced Jason to keep our news to immediate family, however, failed to remember that we have a VERY chatty 4 year old, and a 2 year old who repeats everything her big bro says! :) So, we told our families on a Tuesday evening (after our doc appointment that afternoon) and by Thursday, I think half of White County knew. If you attend or drop children off to attend Pam's daycare or Bright Beginnings Preschool, you were amongst the first to know! I had hoped for some elaborate scheme to tell both of our parents ...

Life's Beachy

What a whirlwind month March has been! From the baby reveal to birthday parties (Madi turning 3, Sawyer turning 2 and soon Brad & Debbie!), to Jason working weekend after weekend at his side job, to moving Matt & Sarah into their new home, to Jason getting a new job, to kindergarten round up, to preparing for Florida....whew! Yup, you read that right -- after 14 years with Bouma Betten, Jason is making a jump. He applied for a job with Monsanto in Remington, and was lucky enough to be offered the job just last week. I am so beyond proud of him -- he's not a resume/interview kind of guy, but he put his best foot forward and proved what a hard worker he is. He'll start there as a Seed Tech in mid-April and although it will mean big changes for him (and US!), it will be worth it. The benefits cannot be topped...vacation time, paid time off for sick leave, 401K, health -- all things he didn't have (or did have, but not great) in his current job. It will certainly be a...
