Oh my…..I have been the world’s worst blogger ever. ☹ Sorry I have taken a little sabbatical for blogging, I don’t even have a good excuse. We have had a very good month and the top comment I can make is “WE ARE HALF WAY DONE.” Oh yea baby 6 months down and 6 to go. This week we are heading to Utah….oh yes it is true and what can I say except we are all very excited. My sisters and family are all coming up and I cannot wait to see my family and Rhett’s parents. We are very blessed. To top it off I think we get to see all of our friends as well. For only being able to spend 4 days it worked out very well. We fly in Wednesday night and leave on Sunday, but who is counting the days….I get to go home ☺

Rhett is doing a second interview with a group he really wants to join, I get to work…..IN THE OFFICE, (a plus), the girls get to have a night with there friends, it just all worked out. Speaking of friends…my girls are very lucky. They both have the best little group of friends. We feel like they are part of our extended family. Sloane, Kiara best little friend and her family are awesome…they still talk every week and send letters/packages back and forth with each other and it just makes Kiara’s day. Alex has so many…Gabby, Kelsey, Ellen & many others. It is amazing what Alex comes home and tells us about what girls her age are doing here in NC and I am sure there are girls in Utah that do the same thing, but we don’t have to worry about it with who she hangs out with and I can’t even express how great that is for parents of a teenager.

My girls started back in full swing with soccer. They both have been doing this program called Hat Trick Futbol and the coach is awesome. He is from England and the girls have both learned a ton. It has been fun to watch them develop and get confidence with the ball. Alex started indoor last night and her team won. It was so exciting. Her coach (whom I think is way to young to have this team…and I disagree with him on so many levels) but he split the teams up…um NOT FAIR!!! He put Alex on the not so strong team. He then asked me to coach her team which I was super excited about. Long story short….we played the other half of the team and kicked butt. Alex had I think 5 goals and the score was 9 to 6. Oh yea…I have really missed coaching! (her High school team tryouts are Feb 16th) As for Kiara’s soccer…her team is very good and they got moved up to the top division. So she is already playing up a year and now she is in the top division. ☺ She has had a very positive experience with soccer in NC.

I will leave you with this information…..in North Carolina if the temp drops below 30 School is delayed 2 hours because it is to cold and if there is a possibility of snow….the whole town runs to the grocery store and bunkers down. It has been so funny….can you imagine cold weather and possibly snow, that is just the worst thing ever.
