New things

While I sit here wide awake at 1 am I just thought I would update everyone on the new happenings in our lives.

Jake applied for a job in Denver, Colorado. We are still trying to figure out if we are supposed to be staying in Hawaii for several more years or if it is time to move on. We really don't want to move right now because we love it here and are extremely tired of moving. But since we have to move from our apartment anyways we thought we would test the waters to make sure we are doing what God wants us to do.

We are also looking for a place here in Hawaii. It is hard to find a rental in our price range that looks atleast somewhat nice and that accepts our dog.

We have also decided we want to see what we would qualify for a mortgage. If we qualify for enough we are tempted to go to the auction and possibly buy the place we are in now. The only downside is we are in a tiny place, we have already outgrown it. But we know everything else we can afford out here will be about the same size. Plus when we do move back to the mainland we can always rent it out and make money off of it. The rental market out here is great. Everything goes really fast.

We will be coming back to Tulsa for a vacation in the spring! We won't buy tickets until we know for sure if we are supposed to move/stay as that would be a waste of money if we ended up moving. But we will be back soon. I can't wait to see everybody again!

Aleigh is becoming very jealous when I do anything with Amelia. If I feed her, Aleigh cries, if I hold her she also cries. Yesterday she got angry with me because I was holding a crying Amelia and wasn't reading a book to her, so she shoved the book in my face, the corner hit me. I told Aleigh that it hurt and said don't do that so then she grabs the book again lays it on top of amelia's face and cries. I take the book off her face and once again tell her I can't read to her right now as her sister needs me and to not hurt her sister. She then goes picks up a toy, looks at me with this mad face and throws her toy down on the ground as hard as she can. Lol it makes me laugh now thinking about it. Boy do we all have some learning ahead of us. I think she might be starting the temper tantrums a little early.

Aleigh does love her little sister though as long as she is still getting all the attention. When I burp Amelia she likes helping me and gets a kick out of patting her back like mommy does. She also likes playing with her baby doll and trying to hold the doll like mommy does her sister and she will rock with the doll. She also is becoming very good about being gentle with her sister. She used to touch her a little too hard but has learned what gentle means and when I say the word, she smiles and barely touches Amelia. The other day I also saw Aleigh putting her head next to Amelia's so they touched and just leaving it there for awhile.

I really want to try to go back to sleep now. After 14 months of waking up through the night I am so used to being awake that it is becoming hard for me to go back to sleep after waking. I really hope that ends. I used to be the best sleeper. If I dont get much sleep anymore it is only my fault since my two girls are pretty good about sleeping at night. I should have no excuse for not getting 8 hrs each night. I pray my habit does not continue as I am very tired each day.

Love to all
Jennifer
