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!

Here We Go!

This is the beginning of my blogging. A new world for me, but something I feel I need to do. For my sanity:), your ammusment, and to celebrate my crazy life as a wife, mommy, friend, and animal fanatic...writing about how I make them all work together for good;). Welcome to my very unreligious, uncensored thoughts. 

So here we go!!!!!

I'm a wife to my inhumanly (is that a word?) loving husband. I honestly don't understand how absolutely disgustingly perfect he is. My only explanation is that God designed him to love me, only me. To love every single cell of my being, and at all times. I'm telling you, this man is amazing. He knows what I'm thinking before I say it, and is always open minded, open hearted and ready to listen. He gives the best advice, and ALWAYS has an answer to any question...whether it be about politics, love, or parenting..he knows his stuff. He's a walking dictionary (which totally sucks when making a bet on a definition of a word, he's always right), and he can tell you anything you want to know about anything in the Bible.

Before I met him, I made a "list" of the things I wanted in my future husband. On our first date it was as if he had stolen my list and memorized everything, almost purposely going down the check list for me. I couldn't believe it, it was a miracle:). At that moment, no one could convince me that God doesn't give us what we want. That He doesn't want us to have the desires of our hearts. He made my man with every detail of what my heart wanted. (and what my eyes wanted too!) Don't get me wrong, I'm vain:), I had specific physical details on my list. 

During our courtship (I hate that word, but for shits and giggles I get to use it, it's my blog anyway!) I felt like a complete spoiled Daddy's girl. (God being my Daddy of course) He gave me everything on my "man list" and to this day, still surprises me with new exciting things about my husband. He shows me more layers that he has hidden for my enjoyment:).

So thats the beginning. The forward for my blog. We have three beautiful boys, rowdy boys. They love life and are full of life. They make my life crazy and insanely fun. This is our life.

Last night Liam and Nate went to the Monster Truck show with Daddy. This afternoon they went to see the Backyardigans with my mom and dad. From Monster Trucks to Backyardigans, thats how we roll.:)

Nate informed us that the Backyardigans are for 4 years olds, and since he's 7, he's WAY too old to be watching them....but being the sweetie that he is, he went along for the ride and actually seemed to enjoy himself. Go figure....

Evan and I are absolutely exhausted because we just got a new dog who insists on pacing through the house at night. He obviously thinks we can't handle things on our own, he needs to be aware at all moments...incredibly irritating to say the least.

Finally we decided that something needs to be done about this, we can't spend our days exhausted when we have three little bodies scurrying all around us constantly needing something. Evan decided he's going to tie the dog to his arm and have him sleep next to him on the floor by the bed.:) uummmm....I think we may have to just invest in a new dog crate...

So here I go...put the boys in the bath, feed the baby, walk the dogs, maybe even have an extra minute to check email or ooohhh facebook!:) All this in the next hour....here we go....
