Starting from scratch..

Ok so, I know I was doing bad on keeping up with my blog last time but that actually isn't entirely my fault. Apparently my google account either got hacked or there was a glitch because all of the sudden I could no longer log into my account. Soo I just started from scratch. I haven't made a blog since July and there is wayy to much to include and post on since then, so I will just give you the highlights.



In early September Chad received an email for an invitation for
interview at the Charleston University School of Pharmacy in Charleston, Wv.
We were super excited but very nervous at the same time. I really don't know all the details to why Chad chose this school to apply to but it really seems like a great school! Anyway, So the third week in Sept we took a mini-vaca to the not so small town of Charleston, Wv. And let me just say it was a VERY long drive! lol.

We were only there three days so we pretty much did
nothing but look for jobs and housing. But it was still a very fun adventure!
And it was so beautiful up there!
The last day we were there Chad set out for his interview.
He cleans up very nice if I might add(:


About two weeks after the interview, Chad received a phone call
 from the admissions office, extending the invitation to attend the school.
I am pretty sure this was on the top ten list of his happiest moments. I am so beyond proud of him.
He has worked so hard for so many years for this and he deserves every bit of it!

After getting over the excitement of the acceptance, we started
planning for Payton Man's second birthday. He wanted Elmo, so of course that's
what he got! (: We had a great turn out and he had a ton of fun! I really 
can't believe my (not so) baby boy is already TWO! I mean really?? 
He has progressed so much within the last month. He is speaking full sentences now.
He knows all his letters, numbers, colors, shapes and can count to 30! 
I'm telling you he's a genius. (not bragging or anything lol ;)



These were Payton's "Two Year" photos done by a not so 
professional photographer -aka me. They turned out pretty cute to be free though!



After his birthday came fall/halloween.
Here is the best pumpkin patch photo we could get.. 
If you didn't know two year olds are awesome at looking at the camera. lol

This year I let Payton pick out his own costume and he wanted
to be Jake, from "Jake and the Neverland Pirates." Well the official Jake 
costume was like 40 bucks and this one was 10. But he didn't know 
any different haha. Shh.. Anyway, He had a blast, we went to the Trunker-Treat at the local 
LDS church where he ran and played for hours hyped up on sugar. Let's just
say that only happens once a year. haha


So after Halloween nothing exciting happened until around Thanksgiving
when my mother-in-law was baptized. The weekend before Thanksgiving she joined the 
Church of Latter-day Saints. She had a HUGE support group and everyone was so excited for her. 
Then we spent the rest of the week with company. Payton had a blast with all the kiddos. There was 7 kids (I think) under the age of like 6. Man it was a little crazy haha. 



 Up next I'll update you on our moving plans and Christmas time! Only 14 more days until our big move!!
