It's the unexpected events that have happened in our lives that have gotten us to where we are today. Whether or not they make a person stronger and more open to what life throws at them is up to that specific person. I want to share some of the events that happen, or have already happened in our lives. Welcome to our journey ;)....

A quick look at the past week

This past week has been crazy... Rusty is now on night shift, which means he goes in at 5 p.m. and doesn't get home until around 1 a.m. We recently found out that we are being stationed at Ft. Campbell, so we have been looking for houses in the Clarksville, TN area. We have found a few, but you really can't tell much from the internet. We are going to have to pick a weekend and go up there and try to find something. It's so exciting looking for houses :) This will be our first house as a family together... I like the sound of that! It is kind of stressful with the whole house hunting process. It's like we have a little over a couple months to find a house, buy it, close on it, and move everything in a 14 day period that they give you. We are trying to clean things out now and get a head start. We have been through the closets and everything around the house to see what we can sell in our yard sale we are having next weekend. I hope that we have a big turn out b/c I want to get rid of everything! What we don't get rid of will probably go to goodwill or something b/c it's not coming back in the house to clutter things up again. I wanted to go ahead and start packing some things now, but Rusty wants to wait until he gets off this night shift, I guess so he can supervise..... Anyway, Halle is a professional crawler now :) She is so fast! She just works those little legs so hard. She was doing just "ok" there for about a week. It seemed like she wasn't progressing any, but tonight she was on top of it. There were a few people who came to the house (all males) and she was crawling to them and just flirting left and right. I have a feeling she's gonna be trouble. I felt like such a proud mommy tonight when she started crawling everywhere. I was like "yay! she finally got the hang of it"! She loves to go to where ever abbagail is at the time. She LOVES abby, but I can't say that about how abby feels towards Halle. Abby is used to being the only one and now she has competition and she gets SOOO jealous of Halle. They will be best friends one day.... I hope. I want to also say CONGRATS to Don and Amber on the birth of little Caitlyn! Her pictures are so cute! She is a tiny little girl! Rusty thinks she look alot like Don, but I couldn't really tell a whole lot from the picture. I can't wait to see her and hold her.... I'm so excited :) My little niece started kindergarden this week. It's so crazy how time flies! My sister cried like a baby... I almost did too when she told me that Madison had her little polka dot backpack on and her Hannah Montana lunch box packed ready to go bright and early. I think she has fun, but she has been pretty secretive about it... she won't tell anybody how her day was. She has shown my mom and sister a few pictures that she has colored, but thats about it. She got sick a couple of days ago with an ear infection and fever so she had to stay home one day already. I miss her so much! I hope that I get to see her, my sisters, and my mom soon. It has been almost 2 months since I have seen them. My sisters are supposed to be coming to visit in a few weeks... who knows if they will really get to come, I hope so! I wished that mine and Rusty's families all lived in the same area or more less the same state... wouldn't that be nice! It's off to bed now for me, I'm very tired, had a LONG day and now it's time to hit the hay!
