We MISS Daddy!

It's been about 3 weeks since Aaron has been gone (in Vegas..) and we (Hailey and I) 've been living here in Idaho. We miss Aaron/Daddy like crazy!!! 

My family has been so amazing and helpful.  Amy is watching Hailey while I go to work at Target.  Mom and Gary have been helping out with Hailey and letting us stay with them in Idaho City.  (We're giving Connie a break :) I am grateful Connie has done so much for my little family... I'm so grateful for ALL OF MY FAMILY.  We may have been homeless if it weren't for all of our family pulling together from every direction to help out.  "Thank You..." your sacrifice and pure love.. it hasn't gone unnoticed!  Hopefully, someday.. we may be able to return the service and favors.  :) 

Hailey has changed and grown so much in the short time we've been here.  She's climbing jungle gyms, speaking in small sentences, refined the meaning of "MINE" and "NO."  She's getting much better at potty training... we've been working on it since Christmas!  Poor Hailey.. our life has been so busy the past 6 months it's been a challenge to get the potty training done well.  Hailey has really enjoyed her cousins.. they play very hard every day!  She's enjoying her "Ca-Ca," (Grandma) and "Gunka" (Grandpa).  LOL~ I didn't teach her those terms!!  She came up with that all on her own.  Her very latest new phrase "I CAN!!!!!"  She doesn't completely get it though... she'll say it with such conviction but it doesn't really fit the situation.  But, She is trying to do everything on her own all of a sudden.  Including: getting dressed and undressed, getting off the potty, out of her bed.... and the other day I ran out of the bathroom for just a second only to discover when I turned around a little naked 2 yr old looking at me giggling.  (She got herself out of the bath and was sopping wet.)  She's found a new love of swimming... Aunt Amy has taken her and the cousins to their apartment pool/hot tub almost daily.

I'm not a huge fan of commuting with a child, but, I'm so grateful I have a job to go to.  Target is trying to work with me.. scheduling me for longer shifts and less days to make commuting and family life a bit easier.  I've been job hunting regularly!  Kay Jewelers in Nampa let me interview with them.  I'm going to interview again in the end of the month with the Boise Town Square location.  I'm hoping to find a job that I can support my family with. 

I have to go to Vegas next week to wrap up some things there.. I'm glad for the opportunity to see my "honey."  I really miss him!  Every time we are apart for long periods of time I have a new respect for military families.  I'm praying everything falls into place quickly!  I want my family together and for Connie's house to sell so she can be here with us as well.
