Update

So it's been forever and a couple days since I last posted something. I will start to get some long overdue pictures on here but I wanted to do a fast update: After Mexico (which was amazing) we started seriously looking for a house. After a couple very bad experiences we decided now isn't the right time. Casey finished his semester strong. I decided that I want to do a phlebotomy course this fall and get my licence. I've always been a big advocate of donating blood, and blood transfusions saved both my mother's life as well as my grandmothers. So a career as someone who takes blood feels good. This decision came after much prayer and fasting from both Casey and myself. We moved this last month. We found what we call our "grown up" apartment. Of all the places we have lived in this one doesn't feel like college students live there. And really other than us no college students do. lol It's in a quiet neighborhood and it's got a ton of space. We LOVE it. We also have a new addition to our family. There was an ad about an orphaned kitten in need of a good home. She is about 7 weeks old, her mama was very young and abandoned the litter at 4 weeks. So sad. So she's behind in growth and development but she is getting there. Our boys are doing ok with her too. Cuzco is like her protector and he is taking over the "parent" roll if you will of teaching her how to be a good kitty. It's funny that not everything is instinct. she doesn't know how to groom herself very well so he has been helping with that. He's also teaching her valuable thinks like how to pounce and paw at toys. It's adorable. (Pictures will come soon.) Blitzen is a little slower on the acceptance but we expected that from him. We've only had her in our home a week and he needs time to adjust but he's already made a lot of progress. We've decided on a name finally. As required it has a 'Z' in it, lol. Her name is Izabel. We've been calling her "Izzy" for short too. I will post pictures as soon as I get a good one. She's always on the go so most of my pictures on my phone are fuzzy.... Kind of like her! So that's my quick recap of the last few months. Things just keep moving forward at the speed of life. :)
