We are home!!

...And we have the internet now :). You don't realize how much you rely on the internet until you don't have it for over a week. We are both so so glad to be back home. Jeremy got all graduated and is now looking for a job. We are open to any suggestions anyone might have :). I have not started my job at Wesley yet, but am starting this coming Monday. I have gotten quite used to not having a job these past 3 weeks and am really liking it. I suppose I will come back to reality here, very soon. I am posting a lot of pictures from Jeremy's graduation, and our move back. I am going to try to be better about putting up post's now that we will have a little more of a life :). Our house is slowly getting put together. We just have one room left with box's that we need to clear out. We would love to have people stop by to see us and our house!! Just give us a call. We don't have much going on yet!

Coming soon...

I am pretty sure no one probably reads this anymore...but I just wanted to let everyone know that soon I will be putting a real update on! Jeremy and I are back in Wichita, and have moved into our house!! We would love to have visitors!! Just give us a call! We are loving the new place, and living here...we don't have the internet yet, so when we do get to use it, we have limited time...which means my next post will be long with lots of pictures of our move, jeremy's graduation and the new place!! We can't wait to catch up with everyone now that we are back home! Much love!

almost done!






Well I think it is about time for a new post!! Seeing as how Jeremy and I only have 2 more weeks left in Indiana!! We cannot wait to be back at home. We really haven't been up to much. Jeremy has been really busy working on his senior project. It is a short film they are making. He is the director, so that is taking up all of his time right now. I am getting rather used to being home by myself, because he has been in the lab a lot! But it should definitely pay off for him. I have only 4 more nights of work left! I am really looking forward to being back at Wesley to a busy L&D unit, but I am definitely going to miss the people that I have gotten to work with here in Huntington. Jeremy and I got a chance to go out with some of my friends from work on Thursday. We had a lot of fun!! We went out to dinner at Fox and Hound (which by the way, has the best boneless buffalo wings ever), and then came back to Huntington, because we were going to go bowling. Well I guess the bowling lanes close here at 9, so we weren't able to do that, but we did got back to Travis and Becky's and we played the Wii. Diana had never played so that was a lot of fun! Then we watched Grey's Anatomy. It was a great night! Here are a few pictures of us. Diana and Becky have made it really enjoyable to be here, and I am really going to miss them. So here are some pictures of me and my good friends!

our time at home...


Well I am finally posting about our trip home over spring break! We were very busy during that week, and I have a lot of pictures I want to post, but I will try and only post one for each thing we did, so this doesn't end up being 500 pages long :). Our main goal over spring break was to find a place to live when we move home in a month and a half! God definitely provided, and when it looked like nothing was going to work out (and Kellie was getting very stressed), He came through. I should never have worried in the first place. But we did find an awesome house, in a great location. It is in the Riverside neighborhood, and when we look out our front door we look at the Sim Park golf course, so we have a great view!! AND, a great park to walk our new dog at!! It has a large fenced in back yard, which we are very excited about. We are renting this place, and our lease is a year, so in that year we are going to be looking around to buy a house, which we are very excited about! So these are a few pictures of the house!


So finding our house was definitely the most exciting thing that happened over spring break (besides picking out a puppy, of course:). We got to spend a lot of time with friends and family which was awesome. We can't believe how fast our time here in Indiana has gone, and we will be moving home in just a month and a half!! We are very excited. Jeremy's graduation is on May 19th (yes, on my birthday), and then we are driving back on May 21st. Not wasting any time!! :) I have gotten my job back at Wesley. It is the same exact position and shift and everything! That has been a huge blessing, to know we won't have to worry about that. Jeremy is not sure what he is doing for a job at this time. So here are a few more pics of our time at home.....



This is me and our niece Amber. She is getting so big!!
She will be 7 this April.









Me and my most wonderful sister!!! This was during our,
"its my last day here, so we are going to take a whole bunch
of pictures together" phase :)






Me and Hillary! She came into town and stayed with us on
Wednesday night....we had a blast. So this was right before
me and Jeremy got our butts kicked playing basketball, against
her and Erin...not a good idea on our part :)






Me, Erin and Hill after popping our stove-top Jiffy Pop
popcorn, which we were all very impressed with...as you can tell :)






Me, Melisa and Dianne, painting away on Melisa's new house!!
She closed on her house the week we were home, so we got to
see the whole Birkey family....minus Jodi :(






Erin and I got to go to Exploration Place with Sophie and
Michele!! She has gotten so big!!







Me and Tessia at her birthday party at Sumo's








Me and Erin painting Melisa's bedroom. I have to say, we did
a pretty good job :). And yes, I did do more than what mom
captured in this picture!






The Birkessen children....minus jodi...we missed her!

Emmett



Jeremy and I are finally back in Kansas!! We are very excited to be back for a little while, with our friends and family. Just wanted to update everyone on one of the things we have done since we have been back. I guess us finding a place to live is pretty important, but almost more importantely was getting our puppy!! (Ha, ha). One of dad's teachers at East has a litter of beagle puppies that she is selling for a great price!! So we went out to her house yesterday and we picked our puppy out. It is a male, and his name is Emmett (Jeremy picked that out. I told him he could pick the name, and that I wouldn't say anything. So I am still getting used to that). They are just four weeks old right now, and will be ready to go to homes around the 20th of April. Unfortunately, we won't have moved back yet, and our apartment in Indiana doesn't allow pets, so someone is going to keep him for us for the first month. I wish we could have him for that first month, but that is how it has to be! I am very excited...and Jeremy is getting used to the idea :). He seems like a very mellow puppy, and the owner says that he is the laziest one they have!! So that is what we wanted :). I think I really bonded with him, for the 20 minutes he slept on my chest. Jeremy has never had a dog before, so this will be a new experience for him! These are a few pictures of Emmett, and then one of his whole litter. He is what you call a Blue Tick Beagle, so they have the grey coloring in with the white fur. It makes their coat very soft. They also own the mom and the dad dog, and we got to meet them. I was really impressed with how well mannered they are. They were really sweet dogs, and loved having people around.
We will update on here when we find where we are going to live. There is one house that is very promising right now. We have gone to look at it, and we both really like it, so hopefully there will soon be some pictures up of it also!!
