Dance Class

Today I registered for two dance classes a week, jazz and hip hop and I am so excited!!!! I have always loved dance and have wanted to take classes for the longest time. Curtis was so supportive of me finding something to do that I love, so after I registered today Curtis gave me a new pair of jazz shoes! How sweet is he!! I start on September 9th and can't wait!

Curtis in Kansas

So my sweet husband left Tuesday morning to go to his BMW dealers in Kansas City, MO and in Kansas... Carter and I miss him like crazy, although today it felt as though daddy was with us because as we ventured out of the house and went for a four mile or so walk (I don't have a car yet, so I have to huff it everywhere, carter was in his stroller don't worry!)Curtis called me every 10 minutes or so and was saying that it was so beautiful in Kansas City, MO, then when he got to Kansas he called every five minutes and described the complete and utter nothingness of Kansas, he even made a comment that he is so thankful his parents never settled in Kansas... He was so bored on that two hour drive, it was pretty cute... then I just got so random calls ..asking, so whatcha doin?... He comes home tomorrow and I can't wait we miss him so much!

Live from MISSOURI... Yes it's us The Skousens!

Well everyone, it is official, We packed everything up yesterday and flew out this morning to our new home in Missouri and thus far, I LOVE IT! Everyone is so nice! When we were waiting for our shuttle I was watching as people were coming out of the airport and it was so weird... they were smiling!!!! Now maybe one wouldn't understand why this would be one of the first things I noticed about this state, but in New York... No one would smile and most had their faces buried in a blackberry or were in such a rush that their smiles were weighed by stress, or aka New York City living... As we drove to our new home, it was 3:00pm and in New York at that time we would have been stuck on the 495 that converts to a parking lot at that time, but here we zoomed right through traffic... We got into our home and it is BEAUTIFUL! I then went to the store and realized that as I was half way through the store was closing... I saw an associate and said I would hurry and get out of there and she responded by saying," No don't worry about it, get what you need first." In New York they would have kicked me out 5 till... Everyone is so nice here and they all have the cutest accents! It has only been a few hours and I already notice a difference in Curtis, his shoulders seem lighter and his smile is brighter than I have seen it in a while. So far we LOVE MISSOURI!!!
