Busy Busy Busy!!!

I couldn't sleep tonight, so I thought I'd do a little bit of Facebooking and so on, when I thought to myself, "Ya know, Karlie, you haven't looked at your blog in, like, 2 or 3 months...". So, I looked it up. Turns out my last post was in November. Of LAST year... Yikes! I can't believe that it has been that long ago! This last year as flown by so freakin fast! After Christmas, I got a job selling cars at a Ford dealership not far from Mom and Dad's house. I walked in thinking I was going to apply to be a receptionist and walked out the newest member (and only female) of their sales team. Dan has finished up all but one class (which he's taking now) of his prerequisites. He's applying for grad school at the end of this month when the applications become available. He took the PCAT last month. It seems weird that something we started preparing for a little over a year ago is finally here. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. He and I have worked so hard to pursue this career for him. I am so grateful that he's had this time with the kids and that I've had this time to walk in his shoes. We've learned a lot about each other and grown closer together. We have a better appreciation for what the other does, and I honestly think every couple needs to have this.

The kids are getting so big! Jayden is reading small words and writing as well. We have him in a trial class of Karate to see if he's ready or not. You can tell this is something he really wants because he works hard and, for the most part, pays attention. He loves to come home and show/practice what he learned. I can't believe how big he is getting. It is weird. He is so helpful around the house now. He's always asking what he can do to help, and he actually likes to keep his room as clean as he can now that he has his own place for his things. He is such a sweet little boy, and I love him so very much!!

Karah does her best to keep up with Jay. She's not reading yet, but she loves to try. She also loves to tell stories. She is a little dancing machine. If music is playing, that girl is moving. We are hoping to get her into some dance classes soon. We need to work on her listening skills a little bit before we do that...the child is stubborn.

It is 3:00 am right now, and I've finally hit a wave of sleepiness, so I'll post some pictures sometime soon.
