Life Lately

Ya'll life has seemed so chaotic lately. Not sure if it is because of the approaching holidays or if it is all the extra shifts I have been picking up lately. But whatever it is as soon as I get home from work I am officially done. We have had a busy last two weeks.


Mere had her last soccer tournament of the fall season the first weekend of November. They lost in the championship game. But those girls played their little hearts out. I love watching them play and Meredith has grown as a player so much. I can't until spring soccer starts.

Max had his 5 year checkup. The kid has grown 3 inches since last year. He only gained 5 pounds so he is tall and thin!

Last Thursday I had a girl's night with my game night group. We went and saw Bad Moms 2. It was hilarious and it was nice to get out for the evening with friends.

Meredith had her first basketball game of the season this past weekend. The girl had 4 points. She was so nervous before the game. I was glad to see her get out there and let her jitters not affect her game. Nick is helping coach this year and he is loving it.

Sunday once we got home for our night away, Meredith and I went to the library. I needed some good reads and Mere needed to pick out a book as well. She loves saying hi to Munch the Turtle.

Nick put up our Christmas lights while we were gone and started on painting our living room. We are trying to decide if we want to sell our house. Nick really wants a few acres to live on. I have been resisting it the last couple of years. But now he has the kids talked into how much fun it would be to live on a small "farm". With the housing market being so great right now I think I am ready to sell. I love our subdivision but I am not in love with it. There isn't the since of community that you get from a small town so I don't think I would be sad to say goodbye. But selling a house is ALOT of work. After Christmas we are going to sit down and talk about it some more and probably contact a realtor. I feel like now is the time if we are going to do it. The problem is finding land that won't break the bank which is hard in Northern Kentucky in Kenton County. Everything is soooo expensive and do we stay up here or go where the land is cheaper and be closer to my family. Lots of decisions. So what I want to do is go ahead and sell our house and move into an apartment until we find what we want. I don't want to have to rush or settle. I also don't want to be overwhelmed with selling and buying at the same time. We have taken this approach with our previous houses and it has worked best!

Oh and we have 28 days til NYC!! YAY!!!

Kids and I have a countdown on my phone!!
