From The Beginning

Hello To All,

Just thought that I would become a blogger. FUN! Just a little update about me. I am married. I married John Hoffman in December 2006 and everything is wonderful! As most of you know, we had a little girl December 2007! Her name is Riley Anne. She is my full time job and let me tell you it is full time. She is walking and pretty close to running right now. She is getting so big too fast! But it has been loads of fun!

We are living in Phoenix, Arizona right now. John is working at the University of Phoenix and going to school and I am taking care of everything else and going to school as well. Riley is just being a busy beaver! She takes care of her little babies and she helps me clean... sort of... you all know how that goes!!! She is so proud of herself when she helps out though. We live close to my family, which is so nice. Riley LOVES Grandma and Papa! She always gets so excited when she sees them.

Riley is starting to say tons of things... like, "no" not very happy about that one but it is super cute when she says it. She makes a funny face and says very stongly "NO". She has still not learned how to say yes though, so to everything she says no. Pretty funny if you ask me. One of her new favorite games is Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. She has learned all of the parts. And she loves to play it over and over and OVER again!

About a month ago we sign on a house. It has not yet been started but it should be in the next couple of weeks. We are REALLY excited to have our own home! It would be pretty silly for us to not buy at this time, since we are paying the same for an apartment as we will be for a mortgage! It is pretty wierd but I am excited for a garage and a drive way! Weird I know but I am excited for no longer having to worry about our car getting stolen and being able to wash my car whenever I want. What most of you don't know is, our car has gotten stolen twice since living where we are. The first time it was found within 12 hours but the second time it didn't get found until 2 weeks after. Luckily it was paid off by the insurance and we now have a new car. That was nice for about 2 weeks and then that cars engine blew but that is getting fixed so it should be good as new... we hope!!!
