Army of Four

Monday, January 19, 2009

You may have noticed that it has been a while since I've posted. Life pretty much has been very uneventful recently. Its just been about putting the kids back on a schedule since we've been back from Washington. Surprisingly it took a whole week to get back to anything resembling normalcy. The three hour difference really made a huge difference.
At the moment I am just getting back to a schedule of gymnastics, library programs, mommy dates, and counting the hours till I see Shaun again. His days are ridiculous now. He has to be at work at 4:30 sometimes, that's A.M.! His day also doesn't end till 7 or later usually. Good news is he has only 4 months left till he starts BNCOC for his Sergent 1st Class rank. Then off we go on another adventure to who knows where. I think I am very much military wife material. While some wives hate the packing up and moving out part, I absolutely love it! I love finding out what I can about the many things I can do at my new destination, or exploring the unknown, or just learning the history of the place. Its exciting I think. I also love seeing Shaun in his uniform, it makes feel so proud to be his wife. Plus loving the free health care, along with other things. I know I complain about his job a lot, but husbands who aren't in the military have horrible hours as well, I know I am not the only one with something to complain about.
To sum it up I'm mostly happy when Shaun is sitting next to me, he is like a drug, I can't get enough of him. I am happy when I hold my two fantastic kids, especially when they hug me back. I'm happy thinking about all the many rich blessings Heavenly Father has given me in my life so far.
All in all, I am happy.

Thank You Brooke, Peter, and Benson!

Lets play the game "what's missing in the picture" I'll cheat and tell you, its the PB&B family that's missing. That's Peter, Brooke & Benson to you. Shaun's brother is stationed in Germany with his lovely wife and adorable son, and it stood to reason that they couldn't make to Washington for Christmas. So they did something absolutely wonderful and sent all the nieces and nephews their annual Christmas PJ. Which I so love that they do. Its secretly something that I look forward to every Christmas. So here's to Brooke, Peter, and Benson a Merry Christmas, and wishing you are near to us.

Thank you and Love you
