rather large update

Since we've last updated a lot has happened. We moved into our new home in November and Miss Paisley Bliss Lang was born on May 5, 2011 at 4:56pm weighing 7lbs 9.5 oz & 21 in long. She takes up most of our time. Chris is currently the bread winner of the family. I (Amber) have taken on being a stay at home mom and we're adjusting to living on half of what we used to. I'm still doing 1 drill weekend a month and I also tried my hand at selling Cookie Lee Jewelry but have failed miserably at premoting the product. I'm more of a creative person anyways..I enjoy sewing and knitting and crocheting. Its hard to sell stuff and feel like a car salesman. I also sent for a desairology book in hope of getting a certificate to do the diseased makeup and hair. In PA you don't need the certification but it would be nice. You just need your cosmetology license in PA. From what ive read so far though its all good info to know. OSHA standards etc. Anyways, onwards and upwards. Chris was premoted to MSgt-E-7 in April right before Paisley was born and we were so proud. He's worked so hard and its nice to finally reap the benefit of hard work. We went to his promotion ceremony and I put his jacket on him. He had a small luncheon with all of the people that helped him get to where he is now. He is very grateful for their leadership and their hand in directing him in the right direction. Chris divides his time between work and home rather well and he gets to spend quality time with Paisley. Who by the way, is nothing but a good time these days since she's days away from being 8 months old and is always on the go. She yells at us a lot and repeats ni ni over and over again. We have no idea what it means yet but maybe if we find out we'll be sure to share. Maybe I should wrap this up because this could get long due to me not updating in over a year. I will say Santa came and we were pleased with his presents but the house may need an addition sooner than we think. Addition meaning 2 things: 10 more feet in each direction AND another baby to enjoy all these toys. We will get right on both of those. Well, happy holidays and happy new year to you all.
