Is there anyone out there....hello (echo)

After a LONG break, I am finally back!!!

I am now living in North Carolina and am finishing up my first semester of college.  The last two and a half months have been crazy, hectic, exciting and filled with fun!  I started by getting to the states on May 10th and the boys and I slept in a hotel in NYC.  On the 11th we flew into Norfolk, VA and a good friend came to get us.  We stayed with a friend of mine for less than two weeks before we moved into our own home.  I got a car a week after getting here and then my household goods arrived a few days after we moved into our apartment.  I rented a three bedroom townhouse in a quiet area about 10 minutes from my school.  I really like the place and will have to take some pictures to show you guys.  The boys really like our home and so do I :)  

School was a struggle at first, it was really hard to get back into the grove of things.  I am doing really good though and have met lots of new people and made a few really good friends.  One of those friends that I made is with a girl named Deb, she is my life saver and I have no idea what I would do if I had not met her.  Deb and I have so much in common and we really clicked right from the start.  She has 2 children that are close to Kobe's age and they get along great.  I love having friends with children the same ages as my boys, that just makes the friendship that much easier.  All of the friends that I have made here have children around the boy's age which has turned out to be a real life saver for all of us.

Here is a link to Debs blog, go check her out and show her some bloggy love :)  

Kobe left to spend 5 weeks with Dewayne in the beginning of June.  That was really hard for me due to Kobe never having left me before.  He is back though and doing great :)  Tyrique and Markus went to Florida for 6 weeks to spend some time with their Grandmother and just came back home on Thursday.  They had fun but are so glad to be back home with their Mamma :)

We have added a new member to our family, her name is Molly and she is a Silky Terrier.  She just turned 4 months old and is the cutest little thing in the world.  

 Here is Molly sleeping in her Mamma's bed

Kobe was gone when we got her so I didn't get a picture of him with her on day one but we will have plenty of pictures of the two of them....this much I know since they are best friends :)

I have two days left of my semester and then I get three whole weeks of summer vacation.  I am so excited to get some time with the boys to go swimming, to the beach and we are thinking of doing a family trip to Busch Gardens, Water Country and Jamestown.  I want to make a few days of it and get a hotel room and have some fun with my boys.

I have been reading your blogs but have sucked at commenting....sorry :(  I don't have much time and I try to squeeze a few minutes in per day to read your blogs.  I will get more organized and start commenting one fine day hehe.

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer!!
