I'm officially the worst blogger ever

Let me just say that 5 months have never gone so fast! So much has happened, so I'll try to make the update as short and sweet as possible. So since August I have been really really busy with school naturally. Last semester I had a full schedule and hardly any free time. Randy and Kenadie ate lots of leftovers and entertained themselves quite a bit, but we all survived. I have a full schedule again this semester, but I'm hoping not such hard classes. We are only one week in so it's a little too soon to say. But so far I'm enjoying it and I'm really excited this will be my last semester at EAC. If all goes well I should be applying for the NAU program in February and 2 years from now, be a teacher. Randy has been an amazing support and so understanding through all this schooling and I'm very grateful for a husband who helps me accomplish my dreams. I couldn't do any of this without him. Other than school I keep busy with life and church stuff. I still do activity days but I was recently released from teaching my Sunday school class. I was pretty bummed about it, and I miss my kids, but I'm enjoying being able to go to Sunday school and Relief Society. I fractured my foot snow sledding the day after Christmas and I am still stuck in a boot cast. It was and is still a very painful experience. Other than that, life is just the day to day basics but I'm loving every minute of it.
Randy has been busy as ever with work. He is in training in Phoenix right now for 2 weeks to become a DRE (drug recognition expert, sounds impressive, right?) and me and Kenadie are missing him like crazy! I cried like a baby when he left and for a week before, but I find it comforting that after 4 years of being together, I never want to be away from him. He still loves his job and he does an amazing job and is one of the hardest working people I know. He recently recieved an award for outstanding performance. He did 38 DUIs just in the last year. I am endlessly proud of him. He bought a banshee in the last couple months and it's his "baby girl." Sadly he doesn't get a whole lot of time to ride it, but atleast he has it he says. Between that and his mustang he feels pretty happy about what toys he has.
Kenadie is absolutely the most wonderful kid ever. She is so much fun and always keeps us on our toes. She has so much personality and is very strong willed. Things I hope never change. She is very busy and is just growing too fast for my liking. It seems like just yesterday she was an infant crying all night. Now I have this toddler that talks back and makes me me laugh, cry, and lose my patience, sometimes all at the same time. Being a parent is awesome and both me and Randy indulge in every moment with her.
We moved into a new house this last week and it is AWESOME!!!! We love it. We had put in a tranfer in September but didn't think we'd ever really get it. Then, totally out of the blue we find out we got a new house. We moved in record time, which I might add was no easy task with a hurt foot, but alas, we are mostly settled in and we don't miss the old house at all. The house we are in now is newer and it has TWO bathrooms, central heating and cooling, and lots and lots of cupboard space. Things we desparately missed in the other house! Needless to say this has been an exciting time for our little family.
That's a little bit of what has been going on. We had an amazing holiday season and we feel so blessed to have so much family and people around us to love. We are all looking forward to the new year and all that will come with it.
