Life Lately

-



Here are a few things that have been going on lately at the Ray house.

 After Christmas, Ricky and I decided it was time to "update" our house. We put up curtains, hung things on the wall, and gave our bedroom at small make over. It was a lot of fun, and our house looks so nice and welcoming now.

 Here is our finished living room, before and after.

 Here is our Bedroom, My favorite update, before and after.
                       This was our bed before the update. A gold bedspread and blue sheets, not pretty.
Here is a picture with the new bedding, but nothing else.
Here is the after. I love it!!

There is still a lot missing on this wall. Any suggestions to make it better?

Dereks room:

I thought I had a before picture, but I don't. His room has so much color and life to it, I love it.

So there you have it.  A quick update to our new house. It is coming together piece by piece.

In other news, February has been a great month with a lot of new and exciting changes.
I had an interview with Texas A&M, and was offered a job there. I start next week.
I am so excited and I am so nervous at the same time.
I will still be advising, but on a much larger scale. I will work in the same building as Ricky, and I am really excited, and one of the best parts, I will be in the same town as my family.
Ricky and I will be able to ride to work together, and eat lunch together. All the while I get to do what I love, advise students and help them achieve their goals.

 February has been a great month, and I can't wait to see what happens in March.

San Diego, CA Part 2

After a fair nights sleep, I wake up the next day in San Diego, and the moment my feet hit the floor they start screaming at me, oh they HURT. Ricky had to be at his conference early, so I seen him off, and I began to start my day, but I was slow moving. I could not get motivated to get out of the room. Finally I made my way down stairs, and headed to Starbucks for breakfast. After that I hopped on a bus and headed to the San Diego Zoo. Thanks to Google Maps, and my GPS I knew right where I was going and when I needed to get off the bus. It was a lifesaver. How did people travel to a new city before Google maps, LOL. I actually got off the bus a little early, but the weather was wonderful, so I didn't mind it to bad.    Now if you have ever heard of this zoo, you know it is a well known zoo, and it should be, it was great, and HUGE!!! Instead of showing tons of pictures of animals, I will only show a few and move on. I spend al...

The months just keep on passing faster and faster.  Derek is now 20 months old, and let me tell you that is weird to say. He already has a personality of his own, and he knows how to work a room. Give him the spotlight and he will run with it. Cool Kid!!! Here are a few of his accomplishments. He is able to tell you where his mouth, nose, ears, hair, eyes, toes and belly button are. When you ask him where his eyes are, he will blink his eyes at you. When asked about his belly button, he will raise his shirt and show you his belly button. He is still into Barney, and Mother Goose Club. He will go crazy over both of them. We are thinking about having a Barney themed birthday party. Do they still make that stuff? LOL. As far as the sleeping, he is doing really good. Most nights he sleeps all night and on the nights he wakes up, he will turn the soother on and go right back to sleep, with the exception of the past 2 nights, where he has woke up screaming. Last night he ...

My baby is no longer a baby....

Wow I can't believe how much daycare has grown up my little boy.  We knew this time would come, but I didn't know it would come so soon. Each day I see a new change in him. It may be a new word, a new sentence, or the new adventurous side I see in him. He has also be "talking" about the potty, "cause all the other kids are doing it." This weekend we decided to buy him a potty seat.  Of course all he wants to do is play with it! Well I made him wait 20 minutes, then let him "go potty" and after a few grunting noises, he "made potty" in his potty seat! I decided to spare all pictures.  Big moment... At that moment, my baby was no longer a baby. I got a tear in my eye! Now on to pull-ups...
