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!

That's good you like your kid haha. Sounds like you're having quite the experience though, it's a character building experience so it's for your good, even if you don't have a Target to shop at haha.

Wow - hum, can you think of a new hobby - something you can do in a small apartment with a child? Hum? Let us know what you come up with? Ha! THERE IS AN END IN SIGHT!

Hey, I have an answer to your bordom. Come stay with us for a few weeks while Tyler is working so hard. We would love it. Paying your dues is no fun is it. But we have all had to do it and I know it isn't fun. Hang in there and come see us.

katie, you know what k.lynn is doing while she pushes the basket around? and putting favorite toys inside? she's totally pretending to shop, just like her mommy. you two will be a super-shopping duo when she gets older. of course, i don't think anyone (even your own offspring) could beat you at shopping. you're a pro.
