Possibilities...

Since Chris was laid off about 3 weeks ago, we have discussed just about every option we could think of.  Just this last week he flew to Houston to spend some time searching for a job.  We were lucky enough that my aunt and uncle would take him in for the week and let him borrow a car to travel to some opportunities.  Not knowing how much he would be able to get done or interviews he would have lined up, Chris ended up meeting with close to 11 companies and basically 3 job offers.  He is back this week so we will be waiting to see what other offers come through.  At this point, the possibility is that we are moving to Houston, Chris first, then Aiden and I later.  I know the Lord will bless us.  It's just the unknown that is making me nervous.  We'll be praying for answers and that they come quickly.

Saturday Mornings

Typically I spend most of my Saturday morning cleaning.  Well, not this Saturday.  Before Chris left on a quick trip with some buddies, he cleaned up the house for me.  Laundry was done, no dishes were left in the sink, he cleaned his office, the front living area and even had the counters clear in the kitchen.  He even attempted to make the bed.  I was so appreciative of him doing that.  It gave me more time to play around with Aiden and taking some me time.  Speaking of Aiden, here are some fun pictures we took this morning while he was eating some breakfast.

Mandarin Oranges...current fav!!

After eating some mandarin oranges, we decided to play with cars.

You can't catch me...

Look at this boy...just over 14 months old and running around like crazy!  I typically have a hard time keeping shoes on him, but, he did good as he was playing in some grass that was pretty rough.  My friend Tiffany got him these cute sports balls for his birthday.  He has been kcicking the soccer ball around the house for a while.  Now that he has had the opportunity to run around outside, I don't think we will be able to keep him in.  I loved seeing him have so much fun, not to mention loving the fact that he was able to get out all of his energy.  It's amazing to me how big he is getting.  I was I could slow down time to have more of these moments..  As you can see, both of my boys have a good time running around.

LOVE THEM BOTH!!!

Stressful Week

After 6 years of being employed at the University of Phoenix, Chris was laid off this last Thursday.  Goes to show there is not a lot of security out there for anything.  Even though we expected this to happen, once it did, reality sank in. I am the only one going to be in something secure at the moment, but even so is there really any security there.   We were hoping Chris would have a job lined up somewhere before this took place.  We are lucky that he gets a severance, but he will need to find a job soon. Chris and I have discussed options and for me I hope that we have the chance to move to Texas.  That's where the majority of my family is and I think it would be nicer to be near them.  We had talked about moving to Indiana where Chris's parents are but not sure what we would do there.  All we can do is pray and ask Heavenly Father to bless us with knowing where we need to be.

B is for Brisnehan

B is for Brisnehan and A is for Aiden, C is for Chris and K is for Kacey...now that we have talked about some of our ABC's, let's talk a little more about our Family, which begins with the letter F!!

Chris and I got married on December 28, 2007 in Georgetown, TX.  Two years and 3 months later Aiden came a long.  I could go as far back as when Chris and I met, but that would be a long story.  So you know, this is not the first blog I have attempted.  To keep a long story short...



Chris and I met at work. We were chosen to work on a team to mentor and motivate other enrollment counselors. It was a 9 week program. During that time we became really good friends. We learned a lot about each other. As much as I held back to get in a relationship, a larger part of me knew I couldn't hold back any longer. We went on several dates before I finally told him that I was ok with being committed. Funny I know. I've never been one afraid of committment in the past. Ever since we met, my life has changed so much. Chris is amazing and is always there for me. So, we met in April of 07, started dating in July and he proposed in September of the same year. He proposed at Wild Horse Pass Resort and of course I said YES!!!!

Chris and I were married December 28, 2008 in Georgetown, Texas in an absolutely beautiful bed and breakfast. We were surrounded by close family and few friends who decided to make the drive. The longest drive included me, my brother and my cousin Jason from the Phoenix area to Georgetown, straight through....it was a very long drive....but definitely worth it. The day was beautiful and the night was frigid, did I mention it was an outside wedding. My line consisted of my sister, my best friend Joyce, love ya girl, and Chris's sister Michelle. Then Chris had my brotherk, my cousin Jason and our good buddy Sam who made the trip....and Southwest lost his luggage on the way home...still waiting on a check aren't you Sam? The cake was wonderful, the colors were great, everything went through without a hitch. It was a fairy tale wedding....

Chris surprised me one day by having the Missionaries over for dinner. From that point on he began the discussions. I was so greatful that he worked on finding his testimony. From the time we dated Chris was open with attending church with me. My friend said if he can sit through 3 hours of church without complaining he would be ok. We started going to our ward in Maricopa when we moved in around March and from then on Chris's enthusiasm took off. We immediately developed some great relationships with some of the families in our ward and not took long after moving in the ward had split. It has now been easier to get to know people. After several weeks of having the missionaries over, Chris decided to be baptised. As mentioned previously I had surgery on May 5th. Well, Chris's baptism was on May 3rd. My parents and grandmother were able to come out for Chris's baptism and for my surgery which we both really appreciated. Chris asked my brother Joseph to baptize him and my dad confirmed him that Sunday. Monday I went in for surgery, but life was great.



Look at this cutie pie!  We were blessed with Aiden on March 13, 2010.  He was 7lbs 3 oz and just the sweetest thing I ever saw.  My labor was not that pleasant, especially since I didn't get an epidural until I was 10 centimeters and had been pushing for a while.  Around 2:30am (I can't remember the exact time) Aiden graced us with his presence.  I don't know what we would do without him.  Now it's May 15, 2011.  He is all over the place and such a smart little boy.  There will be plenty more to come on him I ensure you that!

This is just the short version to an introduction of our family!  Thanks for joining us!!
