WOW!!! It's been almost a year!!!

Holy cow!!! I just looked on here and saw last post was in February!!! We have had a super busy year!!! Lets see In May i finished my classes and worked all summer we had a pain study going so that kept us super busy! This fall I continued with my classes I took Organic II, Biochemistry and cell biology!!!! I MADE IT OUT ALIVE!!!! :) It was hard but was done!!!

Justin still working hard at the railroad! He switched to second shift which has been kind of sucky but we are making it!! In his spare time he has been doing a lot of chain sawing and keeping our wood stove going!!!

Lexi started 1st grade this fall! She is loving it so far! Her class has had a rough year and is now on their 3rd teacher!!! Hoping she stays their teacher!!

Will is busy as ever and keeps us all on our toes!

I am seriously going to try to keep this up to date more often!!! We are heading to Justin's mom's after church tomorrow to do Christmas with them and then tomorrow night after work we will be heading to west Tennessee to celebrate Christmas at my moms! My brother and hi fiance are coming up from Florida and Amanda came in from California! So we are all excited for this week!! There will be lots of pictures to come!!!

Love to all and Merry Christmas to you all!!

Hello!!!

Good evening friends!! Just wanted to post a little and give you an update! Justin found a van so we will hopefully by Saturday be proud new owners of a 2007Nissan quest!!!! Super excited about this. On other fronts school is kicking my tail :( Lexi and will are both doing great in school and daycare. Justin has stayed on 1st shift which is great his days off might change soon but still on first shift which is fine with me. Hopefully soon new pictures of the car will be up in the mean time hope everyone is doing great!!!

Love Kristen, Justin,Lexi and Will

BUSY LIFE!!!!

I am going to try to update once a week!!! We will see how this goes!!!

Coming back from my mom's we brought a dog home with us. Her name is Skylar and I think she is 1/2 German Shepard and 1/2 Husky. She has BEAUTIFUL blue eyes and looooves the kiddos to death!!!! Literally she will lick them to death! haha She is a very good dog and learning to obey pretty well!!!

Lexi started back at school and is having a great week she is glad to be back with her friends! This weekend she was invited to n Ice Skating party and then Sunday Roller skating! Not sure if we will do both but will try!!

Will is doing better with the potty training! He took a 3 hour nap today at the little white house and DID NOT pee!!!! So that is good news!!! Does not mean I am trying all night yet!!! Not quite that brave! He is actually right at this moment getting his hair cut so when he gets back I will have to take pictures!

Justin is enjoying the railroad and supposed to have a shift change here soon but we might luck out and he might stay on 1st shift!! Which would be great school wise for me!

I started back at school today this semester I am taking 12 hours! I have 3 labs which is kind of a drag but should be an ok semester! I am freaking a little about Organic but we will see how class is next Wed! Other than that no other big news!! We have more celebrations coming up so We will be busy with planning date nights to celbrate birthdays!! Hope you all are doing great! We Love you!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope everyone has had a great start to the year!!! We just got back from a week at my moms house and had tons of fun!!! The weather was in the 50's for it being in December so we playedoutside EVERY day and ran with the dogs and everything! It was nice to break away from normal every day life and get to relax a little bit. Before we went to my moms we had Christmas at Grammy's and Aunt Brookie and the whole family got to come up here and hang out!!! So all 9 of the grandkids were in Grammy and Popaws house!!! Talk about WILD!! All in All it was a great Christmas! We are very blessed! I promise I will start updating this more often.

Some future things happening. Justin is still at the railroad and will switch shifts sometime this week and will probabbly be stuck on 2nd shift again :( So we will be by our lonesomes until 11pm. I am taking 12 hours this semester and around March be taking the GRE and in October I will apply to Vet school. In the future (once I graduate Vet school) I think Adoption is in our path. Right now our hearts are in Africa especially mine. So we will see what comes of this so be in prayer for that aspect. Lexi will be going back to school next week for her 2nd half of Kindergarten! Can't believe the school year is already half over :( Will has been working on potty training so that is in the works....there are good days and bad....still having trouble with #2 :( Oh well it will happen in time! Well I think that is all from the Rose clan as of now! Hope everyone has a great rest of the week and here are some pictures from our Christmas!

Love,

Kristen, Justin, Lexi and Will
