Back to blogging!

It has been over a month since I have done any blogging. So I thought I better let everyone out there know that I haven't been trying to be rude by not checking out your blogs or leaving any comments. I have just been so busy! So much has happened since my last post. I will start from the beginning.
Lorin has always meant to go back to school and finish his degree. So we decided to take the plunge. He has to finish school at BYU-Idaho because that is where he started and it is too big of a pain to transfer.... So we leased out our house, packed up and moved back to Rigby Idaho about three weeks ago.
We are currently living in my mom's basement. I know that doesn't sound like the ideal situation but I love it. My mom is alone in her house most of the time because my dad works out of town. So it is nice to be able to be around to keep her company. And she has worked so hard to make us feel at home. We have the whole basement to ourselves. There is a family room, a bedroom for us, a bedroom for Paisley, a bathroom, and a laundry room. She even let me paint Paisley's room just like her nursery in our house to make us feel at home. So we are so grateful for all she has done for us and we love living here.
A couple of other major things have happened. I went back to work 1-2 days a week. That was so hard to leave my baby girl! And my brother Cody joined the military and went off to boot camp! I have pictures but it is too late and I am too tired to post them right now. We finally have our computer set up so I will try to do it tomorrow. I just thought that I would give an update. Sorry.....I didn't think it would end up being SO LONG!

Okay that is crazy Lorin told Jed awhile ago he wanted to go back to school & your mom told us about Cody during the summer - and just yesterday we were talking & wondering if either of these things had happned yet! So did Cody join the navy, because one of the bases is about 5 mi from our house here in Chicago & while Cody Burnside was here we actually got to see him quite a bit. You'll have to let us know if Cody is here & we'll have to try and get in touch with him! Congrats to Lorin for heading back to school too. I think it would be pretty easy to live with your mom - she is awesome!

I have a feeling your baby is going to get very spoiled... but she probably has already been. I am sure your mom is more than happy to have you living with her. So how long are you going to be in Idaho? Are you going to move back to your house when you are done? Are you at your old job?
Good to hear from you, and welcome back to blogging!

There is something about this place that just pulls you back to it! Haha! I am so glad Lorin is going back to school. And your mom would be so fun to live with. We for sure need to get together. Oh I was going to tell you if you ever need anyone to watch Paisley while you were at work you can bring her over here. The girls would love it! Welcome back to the blogging world.

Way to go Lorin, Congrats. And Cassie, I went back to work FT actually when Taylor was 3 months old and I did it for a few months, I liked the break but missed him SOOOO much But it sure made the time I got w/ him cherished. I was hoping to see you at Leightons blessing, owell hopefully we will get to bump into each other soon.

Lucky for your mom that you moved back. I am sure she was more than open arms to have you back living with her. Go Lorin for going back to school. And too bad Cassie you have to go back to work. Surprisingly it has not been that hard for me due to Josh taking care of him all day so I know he is loved just as much as if I was there. That is the only way I make it through. But I think I am more tired now coming home from work than when I was pregnant. Good luck with work... oh and the DVD I bought it at best buy. The best thing for me that I have bought since I had Preston.

That's awesome that you get to move back. I always get jeleous when I hear people moving back to the Idaho Falls area. We are hoping to move back someday. It is always nice to know you have some where to go, like home. But, I was wondering where you get all your cute bows from? They are adorable. Your little girl is very cute. Crystal Batt Loveless
