Our New House, and our Newest Edition

     As of yesterday we have officially lived in our new house for a month! I still haven't finished decorating or unpacking therefor there aren't any pictures for me to post just yet...so I won't talk too much about the house... except for the fact that we love it and are enjoying every moment of being home owners.... including the leaky toilet, the spraying for bugs, and the maintenance... strangely enough.  We also decided that our first home needed an additional family member... someone to keep us preoccupied until Jaxon makes his grand debut... so after much deliberation... we decided we would get a puppy!   It was actually a really lengthy process, lots of false leads, lots of debating, and lots and lots of indecisiveness.  We finally decided on a yellow lab with the most gorgeous green eyes.  We named him Ranger (we really wanted to name him Pudge because he was such a chunk but we knew we would always think about James' Pudge when we called him.)  We got him from a lady in town who had 5 puppies ready to go, 4 little boys and a little girl. I of course, wanted the little girl, because I did not want to be the only estrogen producing body in this household, but I fell in love with the chunky stinker in the corner.  He's been an awful lot of fun, and a little bit of chaos.   We definitely have already began spoiling him, and I have been super paranoid about making sure he's as healthy as can be.  Jay is such a great trainer, and spends lots of time teaching him "manners" and how to just not be too much of a handful.

       He definitely keeps me company through out the day when Jay is at work.  I definitely don't mind, because now that school is out I don't like being home alone all day.  But I am enjoying finally getting to decorate and unpack.  It's so overdue.  Ranger is full of energy, and keeps us laughing.  He definitely knows how to be a sweetheart, but he's also got a wild streak a mile wide! (I'm guessing I'll be saying that  about another little boy in this house in just a few years!)  Like I mentioned, the semester is over...which is a huge relief.  It's great to know I passed all my classes (specially my adult health class! it was definitely the roughest class yet.)  I got an A, a B and a C, and of course passed my clinical.  Not the best semester but a pretty good one none the less, specially in the midst of all the stress and craziness we've had going on.  One more year and I'll be completely done!  Kayla Moore, RN, BSN will be the sweetest sight! 

      Who could have known that 4 years ago as a college freshman at Texas Tech University majoring in Exercise and Sports Science that all my big plans would change so drastically, and so would my last name!  I could have never imagined how blessed my life was going to become!  At 18 I was so set on graduating from Texas Tech, getting my doctorate in Physical Therapy and definitely had no idea I'd marry my best friend, or get to be the mother of his children!   Now, at 22, I am a MOORE, a mother-to-be, a homeowner, an Angelo State Ram, and a nursing student!  I won't be working in Africa or Afghanistan for 2 years, I won't possibly be joining the Navy, I won't be graduating in that scarlet and black, and I won't be wondering what my life could have been like had I passed up the opportunity to go on that first date with Jay, after 7 years of crushing on my football star.  I could not have asked for a better life for myself!   Definitely glad to know that God's plan is so much better than our own...if we only let him have our lives and not try to take control of them ourselves!    

Until next time, here are some pictures of our sweet Ranger, the currently love of our little life!   

Peace, Love, and Puppy Dog Tails <3 

 

After playing in the rain

Two of my sweet boys!   This was the first day we got the little chunk! 

Me and our boy! 

One Friday night the three of us camped out in the living room (our AC went out and that was the coolest place) and this is what I woke up next too!    Melted my little heart! 

Our boy!  8 weeks old!  He's already grown so much!

Of course a blogged picture of us too!   This was last saturday on our way to Cory's Graduation Party One of the few times we've gotten to get out lately due to all the busy work we've been doing around the house!
