Blogg-ity blog blog

Okay, I am really going to give this some effort this time.  I started a new job in August, and we also found out we are PREGNANT in September.  So, we have been busy.  I miss blogging a lot however, and I really want to start again.

So, if you, my readers promise me that you will continue to read about my simple, mundane life, I, Kayla promise to TRY to update this bloggy once a week.

So.  You may have to e-mail me.  But I promise that I will try to keep it updated.  Especially with this adorable bundle of Joy coming our way in April!!

I know you're all wondering… WHAT IS SHE HAVIN?!?! a he or a she… well my friends, for that.  You will have to wait.

We are having a gender reveal party tonight at 6 PM where we will tell our families.  They're going to be so surprised.

Can I just say, I am a terrible secret keeper.  I hate secrets, and normally, I end up telling my mom before I get to reveal the secret but I am getting better.

Last year, my mom's family gave her and my dad a cruise to Hawaii for Christmas. I was responsible for gathering all of the contributions and keeping it a MEGA secret from my mom and dad.  I almost spilled the beans a few times, but I made it all the way to the end, and the secret was semi-spoiled by mom's work friend.

Anyway, I kept the pregnancy a secret for a while too.  But soon I couldn't wait any longer and we told all of our parents.

So now, I've only had to keep this gender secret for ONE day… and I feel like I could burst at the seams! I just want to tell the whole universe so I can go buy cute baby related things for my bouncing baby (and boy was it bouncing yesterday when we saw it on the ultrasound)

So now for names, for those of you that care…

BOY: Jack David Woolsey 
Jack, after my Grandpa John Henrie (everyone called him Jack… not sure why)  
and David… is Keith's first name and his dad's name

GIRL: Lily Jane Woolsey
Lily, cause I've always loved that name
and Jane… is obviously my mom's name

Okay. I'll fill you in on gender tomorrow.. or next week… We'll see

Organization!

So I told you all that I am dedicated to organizing my new house and keeping it clean and organized. This is actually working so far. I mean my house isn't completely unpacked, but it is getting there, and with every box we unpack there are more and more things that I get organized.

Moving is great. I should do it a lot because it really helped me de-clutter my life!
today, I'm going to share with you my favorite tips for organizing and storing your clothes!

I love Linda Koopersmith. She's great and I love that she folds things into little packages. I used this method to fold the Hubs undies too. Except that I didn't BUY drawer organizers, I made them from the billion cardboard boxes we have.

I also like to fold jeans like this chick did in this video.  But skip to 4:30 cause she is obnoxious and talks WAY too much.... Sorry Alejandra, lets get to the point!

There are lots of other methods I use. But one I can't figure out is how to fold a padded swimsuit.  I can't find anything on this, so friends.. How do you fold your swimsuits? one piece or two piece. without folding the padded cups inside one another (I hear that causes DBS - Dented Boob Syndrome--)

Let me know!

Sorry!

I know it's been a long time since I've posted.  I do have a good excuse though, We moved...

I know kinda lame, but it was hard work and we have spend a LOT of time unpacking, not to mention, also going to school, and working two jobs, it was tough, but totally worth it. We are still not completely unpacked, but we will get there eventually.

keys to the house!

We are also babysitting Max for my mom and dad because they are on their CRUISE! 

So life has been hectic. Mazee doesn't like sharing the attention.  

Happy News!

So today was a big day.

I released the info on facebook today that Mr. and Mrs. Woolsey are going to be homeowners!  We found the cutest most spectacular house!  And we are getting financing to buy it!  We love it.  It is so perfect for us!!!  We were a little stressed because the payment will be a little more than we are paying for rent right now, so I set out on a journey to find another job.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my job at the college, but I needed something that could give me just a little more cash per month!

So I applied, and applied, and applied.  And I didn't get called time, after time, after time.  So finally, I applied at Key Research, and today, I turned in my application and got interviewed.  GUESS WHAT!!!!! I GOT THE JOB!!!



Okay, so its not all that hard to get a job there.  But still, I really needed this and Keith and I were leaving the final decision up to fate.  We decided that if I got this job, we would DEFINITELY buy the house!  So I got it and WE GET TO BUY THE HOUSE!!!

We are psyched!!

This is our cute ALMOST house!!!

We will keep you updated on the happenings!!!
