An Update on the Kilpatrick's!!

So it's been awhile and things have been crazy busy! I am still working 58 hours a week and it's getting to be exhausting. I have had this whole weekend off and actually don't have to be back to work until Wednesday. I'm very happy about that. It looks like we will probably be on overtime for the rest of my life, so sorry peeps I may never see you again. LOL!!

Kierstin starts Kindergarten on Tuesday. I am very excited about it. She is doing an all day Kindergarten Chinese Immersion Program. Half the day will be learning English and American Culture and the second half will be learning Chinese and Eastern Culture. While I question my childs ability to eat her lunch in the 20 minutes allotted I am trying to stay optimistic.

Xander just turned 5 months old and is such a blessing. He is rolling all over the place and eating some solids. He had green beans tonight and didn't seem to mind them too much. We'll keep trying though.

Addam has two more CLEP tests to take and then he will have his Bachelor's Degree I am so proud of him and he has worked so hard for this. Well that's the wrap up on us and I will try to post a little more often.

Oh by the way I am very excited about some new friends that I've been hangin with more. You guys are becoming very special to me!

They got me!

So this week as been crazy!! I worked 58 hours because we are STILL on mandatory overtime. But it's all good and I'm ok with it! The money is phenomenal and it's helpful especially with the cost of daycare for us right now! So I worked 10 hours Monday-Friday and 8 hours on Saturday! We had plans to go to Frank's after work but to be honest I was exhausted and really didn't want to go, but I sucked it up and went. When I got there Frank was being really weird and was trying to have a serious conversation with me that wasn't making any sense, but I went with it. Then he was like nevermind and said lets go inside. I went in and he told me to go check out the bathroom because he had just gotten done remodeling it. I was excited to see it, they have made some amazing changes to their house and it looks great. So I went to look and I round the corner and "SURPRISE"!! NO WAY THEY GOT ME!! It was awesome! There were so many people there it was insane, but also very cool. I didn't know that so many people care about me and wanted to celebrate my 30th birhtday! The party was awesome despite the fact that Iwas exhausted. So here's to you crazy cat's you got me!! And I love you all. Thanks for celebrating my 30th birthday! It was a blast!
