Well ... Geeze ... where do I start?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe with last October my Husband told me the day after our anniversary that he wasn't happy! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 month later (Monday after Thanksgiving) I was at the lawyers signing a divorce agreement. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
August 9th 2012 I was in court by myself getting the final divorce from the judge! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He didn't even show up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He signed away his rights - </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we had already agreed on custody and the split of all our material things! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
SO here I am a little more than a year after my last post. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Almost a year since my husband first told me he wasn't happy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And a month after my final divorce ... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am starting a new blog! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Tatum has figured out that at night she is down stairs ALL ALONE. </div><div align="center">It all started about 2 months ago when her and Bowden started to "watch" movies. </div><div align="center">She doesn't say the words "I'm scared" but she says " I don't like it" which I translate to she is scared! </div><div align="center">We have never let them sleep in our bed - but unlike making Bowden CIO (cry it out) for sleeping purposes I CAN'T leave her in her room KNOWING that she is scared. </div><div align="center">Even though CIO with Bowden broke my heart I knew it wasn't "hurting him" this is terrifying to her and she understands! </div><div align="center">SO we are toying with ideas on how to make her more comfortable. </div><div align="center">She already has 4 (yes 4) night lights in her room AND the light in the bathroom which is connected to her room we leave on. </div><div align="center">IT DOESN'T HELP ... </div><div align="center">SO we are trying to figure out if we will:</div><div align="center">1. put her upstairs (our room and Bowdens room is up, hers is the only one down) We could move to her room</div><div align="center">2. remodel our extra living room into a master bedroom with attached bathroom (her room and our room would then be down leaving Bowden up by himself) </div><div align="center">3. put her and Bowden in our room together ... in separate beds ... our room is HUGE and us move down. </div><div align="center">4. Put her in our room alone, us move down and keep Bowden in his room by himself. (would make both up but separate rooms) </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Do your kids co-room?! Have they ever?! Is it hard to move them from each other when they get older ... should I just focus on NOW or worry about older? The constant waking up and the 1 hour + that is takes us to get her back in her own bed is killing me ... we have started to let her come into our bed but not until after 5 am ... </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">HELP!!! </div>MBKimmyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04827057451945753093noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29611793.post-65584420505680520202010-12-20T09:27:00.000-05:002010-12-20T09:28:42.542-05:00Merry Christmas from The Kemps<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_n-OF_RLpzfk/TQ9oFu8BOPI/AAAAAAAACFs/JR6kqzjgkS0/s1600/0.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 375px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 375px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552771313279514866" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_n-OF_RLpzfk/TQ9oFu8BOPI/AAAAAAAACFs/JR6kqzjgkS0/s400/0.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div>MBKimmyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04827057451945753093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29611793.post-7483431675456210012010-12-19T11:49:00.003-05:002010-12-19T11:50:39.756-05:00SICK HAS TAKEN OVERWe are all sick - Both kids have Strep Throat<br />Mommy has a ear ache and <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">sinus infection </span><br />Just thankful it is this week and not next!MBKimmyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04827057451945753093noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29611793.post-67764375199776124992010-12-07T13:14:00.004-05:002010-12-07T13:36:15.898-05:00Bzzzz Christmas with my BE's<div align="center"><br />The host always gives a "gift" the gift always has the year, and place of party.

I used <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/?cid=SEGOO.BRAND">Shutterfly</a> last year for my cards and I loved them! </div><br />My favorite card this year is <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/holiday-cards?DCL=true&lfoType=&omn=8a&fa=8&foType=a">one</a> that allows me to add 5 pictures to it! You can go <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-cards">here</a> and see if they have a Christmas Card you would like. They have so many choices, I really liked the ones with a monogram section but I really liked the one I picked.<br /><br />I also used shutterfly for the <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/baby-cards-stationery/birth-announcements?c=60461">birth announcement </a>of Bowden - IT was adorable!<br /><br />You know what else is nice about Shutterfly ... they have invitations too!

What could be a better gift?! A personalized calender for the grandparents with the little faces they love the most?! Can't think of anything better!<br /><br />How bout you ... are you doing personalized Christmas cards?!<br /><br />Did you know that Shutterfly will give you 50 free cards if you blog about it?!<br /><br />YES you read that right - 50 free cards is you blog about it!<br /><br />WOW <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/">Shutterfly</a> you ROCK!!!<br /><br />I did a @ home photo shoot yesterday with my kiddos trying to catch a few good shots for our card ... one is above ... and I can promise that Santa was not harmed in the making of the photos!<br />Did you know if you blog about Shutterfly you can receive 50 free cards too?!<br />You didn't?!<br />Well all you have to do it go <a href="http://bit.ly/sfly2010">HERE!</a> It is easy breezy!<br />Thank you Shutterfly you make photo sharing easy!<br /><br /></div>MBKimmyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04827057451945753093noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29611793.post-54600483534891289992010-11-29T10:49:00.003-05:002010-11-29T11:08:26.545-05:00Its begining to look a lot like Christmas<div align="center">Well we got all of our <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Christmas</span> decorating done this weekend - </div><div align="center">I LOVE this time of year!

SO ... we are all sharing stories about how God finally answered our prayers -</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">My story starts in college 93-2000 (yes I was on the 7 year plan) </div><br /><div align="center">I came out of HS with a bad reputation and with HORRIBLE grades. </div><br /><div align="center">I got to college and realized this was my life - I had to take control. </div><br /><div align="center">Actually my soccer coach said shape up or ship OUT! </div><br /><div align="center">My friends ... soccer was my LIFE! </div><br /><div align="center">Anyway I prayed and prayed but really what was I praying for- to be good?! </div><br /><div align="center">That was all up to me! So I finally stopped praying for that!</div><br /><div align="center">I made it through college, with 2 serrious boyfriends (at different times hahah) </div><br /><div align="center">Neither of them turned into a life time partner. </div><br /><div align="center">I finally graduated with 2 majors and 3 minors.</div><br /><div align="center">Then the search was on for a JOB, Hubby, and of course that family that everyone so wants. </div><br /><div align="center">I knew I wouldn't get everything I wanted. </div><br /><div align="center">Moved home to live with my parents. </div><br /><div align="center">I applied for job after job teaching, my parents gave me 6 months of rent free living and then it was OUT of the house I was to go. </div><br /><div align="center">I started to beg God to help me find a JOB, a place to live and of course a good boy. </div><br /><div align="center">One day on the way to a interview I stopped @ my dads work (he owns a construction company) to bring him lunch - he was in a horrible mood. He was writing all the billings, payables, and payroll in a book with a pencil ... did I tell you it was 2000?! </div><br /><div align="center">I asked him why he didn't have computers "those things are too much trouble." </div><br /><div align="center">I saw the light - Dad I will come here work for you and I will set up some computers so they are all connected ... blah blah blah and I will substitute teach until I can get a full time job. </div><br /><div align="center">Told him he could pay me the least of any employee he had. </div><br /><div align="center">I went home and started to research construction software.</div><br /><div align="center">I came to work that Monday - </div><br /><div align="center">I got the company up and running my dad was amazed. </div><br /><div align="center">Then I found a cute little house that needed LOTS OF TLC. </div><br /><div align="center">My dad and I made a plan - he agreed to help me fix it up and he helped me get a loan. </div><br /><div align="center">I got a small raise because business was picking up (now that we could track stuff we were making more money) </div><br /><div align="center">Then it all just fell in place ... ALL IN GODS time! </div><br /><div align="center">By 2004 I was married to a wonderful man, 2007 baby 1 was born and 2008 baby 2 was born! </div><br /><div align="center">GODs big plan was baby #2. </div><br /><div align="center">He was a HUGE surprise. BIG Surprise. </div><br /><div align="center">I cried and cried I didn't want a baby - I already had a baby (she was only 5 months old) </div><br /><div align="center">Today we are a perfect family of 4 still at times questioning if God is hearing us, but I know he is. I just look back over the years and see all that has happened - I feel him surrounding me - I know my babies 14 months apart is the BEST thing that ever happened to me! </div><br /><div align="center">They are wonderful and really it was a blessing in disguise! </div><p align="center">Oh yeah I am now the VP of my dads company and I have helped take it from 300,000 a year to doing over 5.3 million 2 years ago. Construction is currently slow right now, but we are still here and surviving! </p><p align="center"><br /> </p><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"></div>MBKimmyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04827057451945753093noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29611793.post-7534950442563038062010-09-20T20:26:00.002-04:002010-09-20T20:39:52.776-04:00New Baby<div align="center">Okay ...
