Moving

We finally made a decision about where we are going to be starting our next adventure after graduation....North Carolina. We are both thrilled about it and are excited about a fresh start this summer. Part of me wants to have Corbin finished with residency now, so he can finally be out of school and actually start practicing.....but then it also means at that point we will have to leave all the wonderful friendships we have made in Oklahoma. It's hard for me to even think about leaving because I know it will be a bitter sweet day. It's starting to sink in now with all that needs to be done in order to prepare for this move. Omigoodness.....stressful! I can't believe four years are almost over and it's our turn to have this experience. Just one day at a time and trying to savor every moment.

Happy 8 Years!

Corbin and I celebrated eight years of wedded bliss yesterday! haha We actually went out on Saturday because Corbin had it off and we went to Blvd Steakhouse and saw True Grit. (FYI very slow movie...would not recommend seeing it. I was a little bored, but it was funny.) Last night we stayed in and I made chocolate fondue with an assortment of yummy dippers. I have to say it was very tasty!

Pound cake, rice krispies, bananas, pineapple, pretzels, and marshmellows. Oh my it was great! I made the fondue in the crockpock too. I know...I'm very creative:)

The past eight years have really been wonderful. I can't ask for a better father, husband or provider. Corbin is everything to me and I made the best decision when I excepted his hand in marriage. Here is to another great year! Which includes graduation!!! That is the cherry ontop of the cake!

Nursery

Yeah!!! Landen's is 18months and that means yesteday was his first day of nursery!! As you can tell Landen was cheering for joy in this picture because he knew he would be able to play with toys for two hours instead of having to listen to a bunch of people talk!!
What a great day it was!! I have missed being able to sit in class and listen. Just wonderful!!

I could get used to this:)

My favorite place

I love the ocean. It is truly one of my favorite places to be. I miss the smell, sound and beauty that is there all around you. It was great being able to see the water and watch Landen get so excited to play in a gigantic sandbox! He was in heaven.

Hopefully one day I can live closer to the ocean!

Florida

On December 27th my Mamaw passed away in Florida, so I surprised my family and made a trip to be at the funeral. My mom was having such a hard time and I wanted to be there for her and all her brothers and sisters. When my mom first saw me she just sat there and put her head down and cried. She said "I kept waiting hoping you would come." I'm so grateful I was able to be there. The funeral was so beautiful and it was really nice to see my Mamaw one more time.

I loved being back in Florida. It had been over a year since I had been home, so it was great to finally be home again. While Landen and I were there, he had a lot of "firsts." Here are a few:
He learned how to feed a baby...his cousin Malea.

He learned how to dunk a cookie in milk and then eat it! I was very proud. Too bad it wasn't an oreo!

He learned how to feed the ducks....he did it most of the bread.

He learned how to use a sparkler. And last but not least....

He learned how to use a gun! He is all boy and he loved all the open spaces to run around and get dirty. He learned how to say Meme and Papa. It just melted my heart. It was great to be together and have everyone come together during such a hard time. There is strength in numbers and I know my mom felt that with everyone there. It was sad to leave, but like I said, I love to look forward to things. Another family trip should be around the corner!

Chair

Landen is really into having his own place to sit. So the first picture was the usual set up for when he watched "Curious George." We figured Christmas would be the perfect time to get him his own chair. He LOVES it! If the chair is not in front of the ottoman he goes and finds it and drags it to where it needs to be. Now all he needs is a remote!

Christmas in AZ

What a great holiday season the Harline home had! We flew to Arizona for Christmas and it was so wonderful being with family. The kids were so excited to break through the door to see what Santa left them!

Landen was spoiled by grammy this year and he LOVES the scooter she got him. We debated about taking it back with us because we didn't have enough room, but I'm so glad we did because he plays on it all the time!

Every Christmas that we are all together we always get new p.j's. and have to take a picture. What a great looking group! hehe

The week was too short, but I always love to look forward to things and hopefully there is a family vacation happening in April.
