Many of you have 'normal' husbands who get to be home every night, every weekend,(or most anyway) and is around for most holidays and birthdays, not I, until now! Things are going to be 'normal' for us for the next 3 years, for the first time in 12 years of marriage and 10 years in the Army. We get to make plans, invite missionaries over for dinner, you name it, and we won't have to cancel right before because he has to leave for work! SO CRAZY!!! We are really loving it so far! We have family dinner, Daddy gets to take Jake to football and go to every game, could life get any better? I think not! So on the right you will see my new life theme 'Just another day in paradise'. I am feeling very blessed for this new time in our lives. I know, it won't last long, we are in the Army after all! But to have this opportunity, is so great! After living apart for 2 years this is the best thing ever! And the location isn't half bad. I have missed my many friends and family back home, or close to home. You are all welcome to come visit, but not all at once! And I look forward to all the new people we will get to meet. The Lord blesses us in many ways, even though we may not like them at that moment. I am grateful for his hand in my life.

First day of school! & pictures of house, again!
So today is the first day of school! I can't believe I have a 3rd grader and a 1st grader! Crazy! They were a little nervous, but overall pretty happy to go. More nervous about missing the bus I think, so we were out there early. But whatever makes them more okay with the day!
First football game of the season!
Today was the first football game. Well it was a scrimmage, but fun anyway. They also had pictures, so it was busy! Here are a few pictures of the hot day!

Jake is number 25, waiting for his turn.
So it was a busy, fun day! Their league plays every Saturday, so we will be busy for a while! We have discovered that they take football very seriously here in the south, at a very young age. So it will be fun to learn everything here, I think.
House, some of it anyway, with furniture!
Okay, so here are some pictures of part of the house unpacked. Remember I am still unpacking!
Fun in the Sun!
Boy have we been busy! Moving in, trying to unpack, going to the beach, starting football, starting cheer leading, going to the water park, more unpacking, cleaning....... Our home is starting to look like a house, not a moving storage place. I will post pictures of it soon. OH, I ordered our 'we've moved' cards, they should be here soon, so watch the mail next week! The kids start school next Monday! They are ready. They need their own things to do and their own friends! It will make things nicer at home. Dustin has to return to work also, so I will have lots of time to unpack and find things!
