Carney Update

I know I haven't been very good about keeping our blog updated lately, so I guess now's the time to get caught up, and I'll try to not make it a novel...

First of all, we are now officially moved out of Iowa (but I wont say that I'm glad about that, because really, I'm not) :o( We left Saturday late evening and drove to Omaha where we stayed the night. It was only about a 4 hour drive which wasn't that bad. However, Sunday we drove to Colorado which took about 8 hours, and man, I felt evey minute of that!
We will leave for Rexburg (to finish school) in a few days while we rest up from our previous 12 hour trip.
I know I am definitely going to miss Iowa. I really, really liked it there and I loved the people too! Maybe someday when Pat and I finish our degrees, we can move back there? But who knows...

School will start April 20th at BYU-Idaho, which is right around the corner. It's been awhile since I've been in school so hopefully I will be able to keep up with the senior level classes I'm supposed to take! :o/ I'm still majoring in Child Development, and Pat has decided to change his major from Business Management to Computer Science, which means we will be in Rexburg for the next few years, but I think (and hope) that it will pay off in the end!

I know I've probably said this more than once, but Lex has been growing like crazy lately!! She's saying a lot more words now and will try to immate our words. She's definitely growing into an independent little girl! She's discovered the word "No" and will use it often!! She likes to play dress up a lot and try on new clothes! (or old ones that I'm trying to fold) Her hair is growing more and more out of control but she does have the PRETTIEST little curls in the back that I don't want to cut off, fearing that they might go straight, like mine did when I was little.
Her favorite animal, BY FAR, is a cat! She has her beloved stuffed "kitty cat" that she drags with her everywhere! and whenever she sees a cat, she gets all excited and squeals. Oh and she spent Easter with her cousin Amberly which was a lot of fun for the both of them.

Karena and Jason, (and Amberly) came up to Iowa a few days before Easter to visit Jason's grandparents who loved only a few hours west of us, and then decided to stop by good old Cedar Rapids to see us! :o) It was a blast. I'll try to post some pictures as soon as I can of their visit!

My hair-bow business has picked up quite a bit! I've almost had the same amount of orders in three months this year, as I did all of last year!! So I've been pretty busy making bows lately, but I love doing it, so I cant complain ;o)

Well that's us in a nutshell thus far... I'll try to be better about posting more frequently so I dont have to write another novel ;o) And pictures will be coming soon!!
