Stephanie has a job...finally!

I have been trying to find a job since we came home from Alex's training in Alabama, but no one is really hiring right now. Then, all of the sudden, this Monday, I had two interviews and they both offered me a job. I was so excited and I finally decided to accept one. I am now a H & R Block tax professional. The office is actually on the Air Force base and a couple of minutes from my house. I am really excited to finally start work. Being home alone is overrated.

New Additions to our Home

We have been gradually adding things to our house and I figured I would post some pictures. When we went down to Phoenix we picked up some new furniture from Alex's parents.
One of the things they gave us was a couch! We love it!Alex's grandma gave us this bookshelf and as you can see, it is almost full already!
I finally convinced Alex that we needed some curtains, so we put some up in our living room. We are starting to hang family pictures and our house is slowly becoming a home!

Christmas Time in the Fleshman Home

We both love Christmas! We have been counting down the days until we get to put up our Christmas tree and Christmas decorations for the first time! We made a quick Wal-Mart trip and made a few purchases and it is starting to feel like Christmas in our home!We each have our own stocking to go on our fireplace!I have been looking for a cute centerpiece for our table and my Grandma gave me a great idea for the holiday season. We put Christmas ornaments in a bowl for the centerpiece.
Alex was so excited to put the star on the tree!
We know its early to start Christmas decorations, but we didn't want to wait anymore. We had Christmas music playing in the background while we hung up ornaments (we had way more than we thought) and we had a great time!

Weekend Trip

After Halloween, Alex and his dad went to work on some projects. They built me and Alex a headboard (they had already built the matching end tables). Then, Alex welded some chain together to make a sign for his parents house. Alex really enjoyed getting back in the garage and building again. He hasn't had much time for that stuff since we moved. We had a great weekend, walking the dog, playing football in the park, helping to make Diane and Tim their own blog, and much more. We were all tired at the end of the weekend. Harry even feel asleep in all of our blankets. They came Friday night and left Monday morning. It was a pretty entertaining weekend for us. We love to have company. My grandparents visited first right after we moved in, so it has been awhile since we have had house guests.

Halloween Fun

Halloween night Alex's parents drove to New Mexico to visit us. They brought some masks for costumes and we had fun dressing up. Tim and AlexDiane and Stephanie

Harry (their dog)

Tim and Alex entertained the Trick-or-Treaters with a skit while passing out candy. The kids loved it (well there was a few that weren't so thrilled) and we had a great time. Now, the only problem is we bought way too much candy and we cannot stop eating it : ).
