It's been a crazy week...

filled with CRAZY hair!  Kadence usually wakes up with a rat nest in the back of her head, but this day was especially bad.  She usually says, "mom, I have crazy hair just like Aunty's (Arin)."  It is pretty funny but not so funny when I have to brush it out and she cries!  I have been trying to put braids in it at night after she bathes to prevent this from happening.  I really need to learn how to french braid!
We made it through the first full week of March!  It was a week filled with lots of study time for Ryan and what seemed like a lifetime in the house for the 4 of us.  Landon had school Tuesday and Thursday and we had a play date with the O'Connors Wednesday, but we are still feeling cooped up!  Or maybe it's just me!  So, I ventured to the Mall yesterday afternoon with the kids.  It has been difficult to go anywhere by myself because Kenzie is a high maintenance baby and hates the car.  They were all really good and had a great time playing.  Kenzie cried whenever we were in the car or going to and from but was fine inside.  I felt like a new woman after getting out in civilization for awhile and it sure made Ryan's afternoon studying time go by quicker for all of us.  It is funny, I didn't even enter a store and we were there for an hour and a half...gone are the days where I get to go to the mall and shop.  

On a side note, we sent our deposit and signed our lease for our new (temporary) home!  We were fortunate to find a brand new townhome to rent in West Fargo.  It is really not what we were hoping for at first, but is very nice.  The selling point was we are only committed for 6 months and hope to buy a house ASAP!  I am getting very anxious to move and feel like I have a billion things to do, but that I can't really do most of them until closer to the move or after we are moved!  Ryan's job is thankfully paying for us to move, so we have hired movers to pack and move us.  

Ryan received his "official" diploma in the mail yesterday and was very excited (entry and pictures to come).  It was so neat to see and brought tears to my eyes as he had a smile from ear to ear and was staring at the piece of paper as he was seeing his dream come true.  

I can't believe the first week of March is already come and gone and before we know it we will be living in Fargo.  It has been sort of a bittersweet time for me as I have been thinking about all the things I will miss about Sioux Falls.  

Happy Friday!  Have a good weekend!  We are off to the farm for some fun!
