<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A few weekends ago, we went to the fair. It was super crowded, but the weather was perfect. The girls had a blast riding rides, eating fair food, and looking at all the animals. Harper was so good. She slept the majority of the time, but when she was awake, she just played in her little bassinet. I think she enjoyed the fresh air. ;)</span></div>

I was originally scheduled for an induction on June 17, but miss priss had other plans. ;) I went into labor Sunday, June 8, around midnight. I timed my contractions for a few hours, and headed to the hospital around 2 am. I thought for sure the hospital would send me home for false labor, but nope! It was the real deal. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I know exactly where I was. Like so many of you, I woke up to the first breaking news report, and watched with the rest of the world as the second plane hit the WTC. I can't believe it's been 13 years. Seems like yesterday. In June, I had a chance to visit the 9/11 Memorial & Museum. It brought back all the memories, and tears of that fateful day. My 9 year old was with me, and having to explain to her {without too much detail} what happened. . . . . was painful.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Hey y'all! Its that time of year. Time for a new planner! :) I love, love, love my Erin Condren planner. I know some of you are thinking......"She still uses a paper planner? It's 2014." I know, I know. With iPhones and iPads, who needs a paper planner, right? </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">THIS girl does! Erin Condren planners are by far the best I have come across. So many design choices, you can't go wrong. It totally keeps my busy family organized. They are kind of pricey, but so worth it. This will be my 3rd year to order, and don't plan on stopping any time soon. You should check them out. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Here are a few photos I snapped this morning. Of course, there are more of Landry because being in 4th grade makes you too cool for your mom to follow you around on the first day, taking pictures. ha!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">a few weekends ago, the girls and I took a little road trip to visit our friends in NWA. They were super excited. Sophie {Ry's BFF} had no idea we were coming, so it was so fun to surprise her. We really enjoyed the weekend with the Burtis family. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Rylee & I had a blast in NYC! She is already planning our next trip. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We went to the 9/11 Museam & Memorial the first day. It was so emotional. Of course, when 9/11 happened, Rylee wasn't born yet. She has heard about 9/11, and to see her reaction was super emotional for this momma. She had lots of questions, and I tried to answer them the best I knew how. She's only 9, so I knew I had to be careful with how I answered some. They did a nice job on the memorial, but I will have to admit. At times, I felt cold chills. Here we were walking on a huge gravesite. </span></div>

Ever since Miss Priss was 4, she has been asking to visit <b><i>"The City"</i></b>, also known as New York City. She is fascinated with NYC. She knows almost every landmark, bridge, tunnel, etc. She reads everything she can get her hands on about NYC. She has even told me that after college, she's moving there. ha! {I don't blame her. I'd move there in a New York minute if my hubby would agree to it.}</div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well, since she will be 9 this year, I decided to plan a little trip to the City. A <span style="font-size: large;"><b>SURPRISE</b></span> trip! She has no idea, and we are not going to tell her until we are on our way to the airport. She is going to be so EXCITED! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I am pretty excited myself. I have a full 5 days planned for the two of us, and I'm really looking forward to hanging in The City with my girl. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A few weekends ago, Rylee and I were up at the crack of dawn headed to the airport. We took a girls trip to Northwest Arkansas, or <i>"Home"</i> as Rylee says. It's been 6 months since we moved back to Texas, and my girl was missing her bestie, Sophie like something fierce. So, off we went!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">Best.Weekend.Ever!</span> Rylee spend both nights with Sophie, so momma had the hotel room all to herself - <i>not gonna complain</i>! They had the best time. We hung out, went to dinner, got pedicures, did some shopping, watched Sophie dance {dance competition weekend}, saw some friends from her old dance studio,and just caught up. Of course, I met up with some of my girlfriends for dinner the first night. So much fun catching up. Seriously, it's like I never moved. We just jumped right into conversation like we also do! Honestly, I miss them already. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well, it's really not a secret, but I just haven't told a lot of people. Yes, we are moving. BUT the good thing is, we are staying in Texas. We are actually moving, "home!" Since graduating college, Kasey has wanted a career in the sports field. He's applied for a few positions here & there over the last 15 years, but they weren't a good fit. He's been in the same type field for the last 15 years, and honestly, he needed/wanted a change. When this opportunity came up, he jumped! It is in the sport nutrition field, AND it's a completely different type of career. Per Kasey, <b>"It's the job I've been working towards the last 15 years!" </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">He was offered the job on Christmas Eve, and he is SUPER exited. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I'm excited that he's excited. What I am NOT excited about. . . . MOVING! <i>Again!</i> We just moved back to Texas in June of this year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> He starts on Monday, and the girls and I are set to move early February. Totally feel like it will be here before I know it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Have I started to pack? Nope! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So, that is our little secret. Wish us luck. Hopefully, this will</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> be our last move for a while. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Have a good weekend!</span></div>
