Park days. Best days.

Well guys, next month we'll be long gone from California and on to Maryland, doing a massive road trip as a family across the Country. Mike will also be back home in the beginning of Sept! We may actually be counting down the days at this point..There will be Tons to do to get ready for the big move so hopefully it'll run as smoothly as it can in the Navy (and that's all I'll say on that haha) My sidekicks and I do a lot of this to pass the time..










 
 
 
 
 


 
 


 
   And by This I mean go the park and out on walks..a whole whole lot. But you know they grow more everyday and these are the days I'll look back on one day, so for now I want to just let them be little and enjoy their carefree days. (mostly)
                                    Have a good week people!

Change of Season.

Okay guys, so it's been about two months (give or take) since my last post but it's something I really enjoy doing and want to get back into doing on the regular. With Mike being away at School for the passed almost 4 months, I thought I was going to have loads of time to just sit and write and that hasn't exactly been the case. My two keep me Crazy busy! We also went on a trip for over a month to visit my family in the Norfolk Va area and it was pretty Amazing being with all of them.
            As of last Sunday I'm back to singing (which I Love) at our Chapel near our base housing and today while I was up on the Alter singing with the rest of the group, I couldn't at all help but notice everyone that isn't here anymore. The thing about this Military lifestyle that I'm finding, is you constantly have to be up for change, and that includes awesome friends coming into your life and then moving on to all the new places that they all go...It's been totally amazing getting to know some of the people that I've met here and while I might never see some of them again that doesn't mean that I'll be forgetting them anytime soon. Some of the families that I've met have been so strong and the strength of the women having to hold down the fort while their husbands are away constantly inspires me to try to live out this life that I've been given and give it all I have. It also made me think of some of my friends back at home in Ohio (and near it) who I won't ever be forgetting either..(not to be emo) I think the people that come into our lives are there for a reason. My husband will be done with his School in Just two weeks and graduating. We're waiting on the official orders to know where we'll be stationed, but what I do know is that I have loved this time out here in Monterey Ca and just keep taking in all the little things about the area before we too join all the others that have moved on from this place.
                        So, in other news my kids are now 4.5 and 2 (and a few months) and totally crazy, but adorable and it's a good thing too. Ha. A few recent things the little man likes to do/say is:
                                         1.(While getting up from his bed the other night and coming out to the living room) oh Momma, I sooo tired (putting his hand on his head for effect) I sleeeepy. Haha maybe you should try going back to the bed that you came from crazy face.
                                2.) Wait 1 second momma, I be right back, I just need my sword! (always)
                            3.) Momma, when Daddy come back? He on airpane momma? he come back now? (also always...sweet buddy)
                                4.) And last but not least if you ever give him a set of options to eat, his response will always be, I want food momma I want food! Thanks for clearing that one up because I totally wasn't about to feed you food...

(Ring ring ring a foot phone) Just another one of their Many games.
 
(to sum up)
 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:9)
 
So there's that...
Have a good week guys.
Love & Peace.
