update on us

Well even though I've tried and tried and tried to get more pictures up here (to absolutely NO avail...) I figure I can still at least write about what's going on in our crazy lives!  We are still in Asheboro, NC (look it up...ghetto land...not even a Target to shop at!) but we know for sure that Tyler starts his next training phase on March 9th, so we'll be back in Raleigh the weekend before.  Whoo-hoo!  

Tyler has been working like crazy, and sometimes even puts in about 70 hours a week!  He's currently working as a Store Manager for his training and has been so since late November.  It's a really tough job.  The store has lots of problems but the girls who work here are really trying hard to catch up on the extremely poor training they had before Tyler got here.  Tyler's boss isn't very encouraging and hardly ever gives Tyler positive feedback which really bothers me.  Tyler is doing great things and more than anything deserves great compliments from his boss.  What a poop!  Sadly, once this part of the training is done and we get back to Raleigh, Tyler will spend the next twelve weeks (six in Kannapolis, NC and six in Columbia, SC) only to come home on the weekends.  The joys training!  At least it will end!

Kendalynn is a hoot!  She's walking around like crazy and is pretty much always getting into EV-ER-Y-THING.  She really enjoys her books and often carries them over to Tyler or I and likes to sit in our laps while she flips through the pages.  She LOVES music and will dance to just about anything.  Tyler and I watch The Office just about everyday and EVERYTIME she hears the theme song she stops whatever she's doing and starts dancing!  We've made a video or two of it and perhaps I can get one up someday.  She also really loves her bath time and splashes like crazy.  One of her other favorite past times is to push the laundry basket around the house (frequently in to walls or other things that won't move where she gets really frustrated) and gathers current favorite items and puts them in and continues pushing them around.  She is such a good little girl and we sure do like her lots.  :)

As for me I'm just losing my mind here with nothing to do but shop at Aldi...and bring Tyler lunch at Aldi.  :)  I'm looking forward to the day we will get to go back to good ol' Raleigh.  But anyhow...hopefully someday this madness with my blog not liking my pictures will come to an end and you can all enjoy pictures of our cute and crazy kid!  

A PICTURE A PICTURE!

Okay...I could only get one picture to work (after working on this for quite some time) and Tyler wants to go to bed so I'll try again tomorrow!  However...I did want to post it!  

So real quick, this is the blanket I finished tonight and I absolutely love it!  This is the 4th blanket I've completed!  (I'm so proud of myself when I'm crafty!)  I made my first one while I was pregnant with Kendalynn and decided I would make one for each of my kids and my siblings kids so I always have one going.  So for any of my siblings looking at this (married ones) this blanket could be yours!  I would consider it a boy blanket, so first one to have a boy is the winner!

Alright...sorry it's not a cute picture of my kid...but I can be exciting too right?  :)  Hopefully I'll get some up of her tomorrow!  Ta ta!

Alright...I surrender.

It seems that all google related things (gmail & blogger) have decided to rebel against me and not cooperate AT ALL.  With my e-mail, I try sending e-mails to various people and I happily write my message and click send.  But oh no.  Luckily I looked up an e-mail I had sent (or thought I sent) only to find that my sent message folder was full of BLANK e-mails to myself in place of the e-mails I meant to send.  ????????  Not only that, but most of the e-mails that I am "successful" in sending to people end up in html format.  What on earth?  No clue.

Also with my blogger...every time I try to upload pictures, it just doesn't work.  The pop-up window comes out and I select all the darling pictures that I want to show the world of my cute cute cute child, and then after a few moments of it "uploading my pictures" the window suddenly goes to this page as if the internet cut out.  Why why why?

So after all of my attempts to fix the problems that I don't understand I have decided to ask the world for its input.  If ANYONE has ANY ideas of what on earth is wrong...whether it's me, my computer (I have a mac), or my internet browsers (Safari & FireFox) I would love to get these things resolved.
