Bass World Update

Hello friends! I'm so grateful for those of you who follow this blog! Thank you! Our lives are crazy busy and it helps to have this to keep everyone in the loop:).
So, it seems we have some new things going on in the Bass fam. As you know, Evan has a new job here in Franklin that we're really excited about. There are some cool opportunities for him to be promoted which would mean a fabulous pay increase! Yay!! There's also a lot of sales involved in this job and that is something Evan hasn't done before. He's loving getting that experience. With this new development we've come to the decision to stay here in Franklin for a bit longer. We've been trying to move to Colorado for a year now, it's been an emotional journey to say the least. The market has been so awful, we haven't had a single bid on our house. We've trusted that God has a plan for our move. That He wants the best for us and has the best timing in mind. It's so hard to continue to wait sometimes. There are days when I just cry and cry out of frustration with this process. I haven't felt "at home" for quite some time, and as you women know, the home is such a huge deal for the wife! We love to make it our own, for it to reflect our unique personalities. It's frustrating when you can't do that because you know you'll be up and moving in no time.
We are still selling our house because we are really unhappy here. So this journey is not quite over at this point. The market is still so crappy, but we're hoping for a miracle. We've lowered the price a lot, hope that helps.
Thank you all for praying for us, we love and appreciate you!
We are excited about the future, even if it doesn't look like what we thought it would. We would LOVE to be in Colorado right now, that is our dream! But for some reason, it's just not working out. So we'll adjust and make the best of it. (sometimes not with a good attitude! ha!)
I'll keep everyone updated through this process, it's definitely a roller coaster, never knowing whats going to happen next.

Blessings!

Fun in May!

Hello Everyone! Thank you all for your encouragement after my announcement about running in the Mrs Tennessee Pageant this coming May. I'm very excited for the opportunity and looking forward to a really fun experience! I'm excited for the opportunity to share my passion for health with other wives and moms across Tennessee. I hope that this will give me a platform to help encourage and instill the value of health and nutrition to other women. I'm passionate about life and hope that my passion will catch and spread!
Right now I'm focussing on finding sponsors, I would love and appreciate financial support but also need to sell some adds for my page in the catalogue. If your business might be interested in sponsoring and/or taking out an add, please let me know! I greatly appreciate any help!
Thank you again for your love and support, this is such a fun time!

Blessings!

Loads of News!

Well, I haven't blogged in a while and so I thought I'd update!:)

Today I received some exciting news! I've been awarded the title Mrs Williamson County and am on my way to competing in the Mrs Tennessee America Pageant! I'm super stoked because I didn't think I would get an opportunity like this being a stay at home mommy. I'm so consumed with my little guys, I hardly take enough time out to do some "extra curriculars" so to speak:). I'm excited for this opportunity and plan on having as much fun as possible while doing it!

The boys are doing well, Énsley is growing like a weed! He is pulling up on furniture now, moving his way around slowly;). He's such a love. His new things is open mouth kissing:). Oh how I love this stage and how it passes too quickly!

Nate is so grown up, he's almost 8! I can't believe I have an 8 year old! I still feel like I'm baby sitting and the parents should walk in the door any time now! Ha! :) I hope I always feel full of life and youth;)! Nate has a "fun" attitude these days, he is convinced that he's right 100% of the time. I have the feeling I was much this way when I was a wee one! There's just really no point arguing with him at this point in life, he always has another answer thats "better than yours". Haha! He's such a smarty pants.:)

Liam is a ham as usual, always saying the "darnedest things":). He is so much fun! I love taking him out with me, he acts so mature and always enjoys himself no matter what. I need to learn from him!;) Last night as we were leaving to celebrate their Uncle Aaron's birthday, Liam looked up at Evan and said "wow Daddy, you look so handsome tonight".  So presh.

I just got a new camera for my birthday (thank you sweet husband!!!!) so I'll be posting some new pics soon! Yay! The boys are growing so fast, you just don't even want to miss a moment! Every minute is so special and so priceless. I love being a mommy and am so blessed that I get to stay at home with them and watch them grow! There's no greater joy than pouring into my little ones! Everything else is just the cherry on top!

Evan got a new job recently.:) We are super excited about it, it's something very new and different for us! 

Evan used to be a paramedic and so he was hired basically as an in-office paramedic for a new specialty clinic in cool springs. The "specialty" is male performance. Ha! Just typing it makes me giggle:). The doctors specialize in men who don't get results from the basic viagra and other drugs like that. So- some doctors have put together a potent formula to help men achieve optimum "performance" in older age.

At first Evan was a bit weary about having to look at penis's all day (as you can imagine:) but he doesn't have to do the dirty work;). He gets to do sales and be available if the doctors need assistance. A huge part of his job is the sales part. A lot of men will come in to the office and check it out, but not a lot actually end up buying the product. Evan is there to seal the deal! ha! Oh my gosh, I have to stop talking about this, I'm laughing to hard in my head about all of the little funny comments I could say.

Anyway, we are thrilled with Evan's new line of work! :) I know at least I'll always be happy!;) O.k., I'll stop! hahahah!

On a different note:), our house is still for sale and it's been a year now! I just can't believe it. At this point, I know God has got something going on that I just can't understand. I'm so unhappy in this house, I just don't feel like I'm "home". Thats such a huge part of the womans heart, the home. I don't want to sound ungrateful or unappreciative- I really am grateful to have a roof over my head...obviously. I just want to really LOVE my home. I want it to reflect my personality and be a fun conducive place for my boys. We don't have that here. 

Recently I've been trying to thank God ahead of time for selling the house. Believing that it will sell when it's perfect. Having faith that God isn't ignoring me or not hearing my heart. All in time...

Well, this is my update:), my little ones (the littlest one now) are pulling on my legs as I'm typing:). Have to run do the mommy thing...blessings! Thanks for taking the time to read my blog!
