Thirty something.......

I had a great birthday this year. Ben threw me a family birthday party and it was even more special because all my brothers and sisters were there and it has only happened that we were in the same place at the same time three time in the last ten years. It was the best. I have the best husband int he whole world. also I got the coolest wall clock from my boys. Now I think I will have a house to hang it in, in about a week :)

Yeah I am not very good at keeping this up....

So I am trying to do better, but having even a part time job and no house of your own makes it hard to do the things you used to.....like commenting and even looking at other friends blogs. I swear I still look. just haven't had time to comment. We are in the process of buying our first home. It's an awesome townhouse that like four of our houses in England could fit in. We really hope it works out. The Seller accepted our offer but we are waiting on hearing back from her bank because it is a short sale and she is in the beginnings of foreclosure. Wish us look. Ben is liking his job with Argon ST so far but the FBI came a callin again so he is in the middle of that also. Grayson just spent two weeks in FL with his grandparents while Ben worked and I played in Omaha lol Here are some pictures enjoy.

It's been Awhile.....Sorry

I finally have my computer back and we are back from visiting all Ben's family. Things are going well. Ben in on the hunt for a job and finally starting to hear from responses from him his 8000 resumes he has put out there. We have Ben in the USA for almost a month and already flown to FL and played in the ocean and driven to St. Louis and seen half the country side in the fall very beautiful. Here a hand full of pictures to sorta of get you up to date. I have to get some pictures of Ben's computer update you on the first two weeks :)
