Three months?

 How is it possible that it has been three months since I last posted?!? I can't believe that. Hmmm, where to begin. I suppose with the kids. Everyone is doing great! Zachary has officially learned all his Kindergarten sight words and has moved on to learning his first grade words.  He also has his first loose tooth!! He is beyond excited.Mikey is doing amazing in school also. All A's and B's on his last interim. {this has been his pattern since the start of school!!} my little princess is her normal bouncy self....except she's getting antsy about the move. What move, you may ask? Well, I don't remember if I told you all or not, but we are moving up to GA! Michael and I thought he would be out of the Army {medically retired} by now, but it looks like it could be anywhere from 5-8 more months. :( We found and locked down {paid the deposit} for our rental house.

   
 Kitchen, 1 bedroom, straight back is the bathroom and behind the stove wall is the laundry room. In front of the breakfast bar would be where our dining table goes....   

back deck, right off of the kitchen

 

One of the 3 bedrooms. This is only half of the room! The bedrooms are HUGE!

 

Part of the living room. Fireplace!!! :) Those two windows are on the front of the house. 

The house! It's a triplex. We were very lucky because it's a month to month rental because we will be looking for our forever house once we get settled in. Also, Michael's cousin, his wife and kids live to doors down! It's going to be GREAT for the kids to have their cousins so close! 

Hmmm, what next? I know. My work. It's been wonderful at Home Instead Senior Care! My client is moving to an assisted living apartment, so she had decided to stop using my company. :( I haven't been with her for about 3 weeks now and I miss her. Ya ya, I may be too attached, but I think that my genuine care and concern for people is what will make me a good nurse! I put in my two weeks notice just a few hours ago. It's definitely a bittersweet moment.

Here's a few pictures since the last time I posted.

 Hailey totally trusts her Mikey!

                                                 
                                          Hailey & my brother, Tim-she thinks he's funny!

                                                    Hailey and her Aunt Bubby...Awww!

                                                        Daddy came to visit April 17-27

She entertained herself for a good 15 minutes doing this :)

 My Z going all the way under the water. He HATES water on his face for some reason so this is a HUGE deal for him! I'm so proud! :)

Mother's Day, we went out with my mom, grandma and her boyfriend on their boat.  We had sooo much fun. Here's a few pics from the day!

Welcome Home Part 1

T minus 2 days---

The time is unpon us. I am typing to you all from the Lagerhof Hotel. Yes, we cleared housing!!! We leave here early Sunday morning to fly back to the States. Its a bittersweet feeling honestly. On one hand, I will get to be around my family again. On the other, I am officially seperated. Honestly, Im ready. It is obvious that we just are not good for each other at this point in our lives. Hopefully this time apart will help, not hurt us.

Only time will tell.

I broke my toe. My big toe.Funny story. Nnot really, but still.  After we cleared housing,  we had a bunch of food we brought over here to the hotel.{we have a kitchenette in our room} Michael was handing things through the window to me and didnt notice the hole in the bottom ofone bag. Well, guess what happened??? I big ol' jar of jelly fell out and landed smack dab in the middleofmy big toe. Can you say "kill me now?!?!" It hurt so so so bad. It still does as a matter of fact! Im not going to the dr till we get Stateside because I do not wanna fly {10 hrs} with a big ole cast on.Can you say uncomfortable???

Anyways, tomorrow we are going to Zacharys girlfriends early bday party. Her mama moved ot up JUSTso we couuld be there! How sweet right?!!?

So I will touch base with you all once we are back in the good old US of A!!!

June 6th

Yes, we have a day that Michael will report to GA. Hopefully thats not breaking any OPSEC rules or anything.....

Im excited.

Michael and I just got back from a counseling session. First time I have ever been to a therapist. Overall, he was very nice. He talked soothingly. {is that even a word??} I expected to do more talking to him,but he did a lot of talking.

I am okay today with the idea of seperating. It will do us both good and allow us to both grow and learn individually.

Thats just a really quick update,Ive gotta clean the house and get lunch going before I get the boys from school.

I PROMISE I will be back soon with a real post.

Till then.........

Lets Plat Catch Up, Shall We?

Hailey has been sick for the past week so she has been really fussy while we have been doing our many many errands. Found out that my little pink Kodak Easyshare camera is a quick way to soothe the savage beast. Wanna see the world trough her eyes? Check out below..........
