Happy Halloween

Well here in our new city, Halloween and Trick or Treating is on the 4th Thursday. So we had alot of fun. We had a Ranger from Rangers Apprentice and a Cat. They had fun. This weekend we had our first snow. It is really beautiful.. I think I like it hear. I know by the time winter is over and the snow is still here I will wish I was in VEGAS but HOPEFULLY NOT.

We got an offer on the old homestead..........but with Vegas housing and Bank of America doing the deciding. I am not holding out much hope.

I am going to have to start taking pictures and FINALLY learning the editing stuff.

Passed my first two classes. Boy am I glad they are done.

October 13, 2011

Well we have rainy days and sunny days. LOVE LOVE the rain. I have missed seasons.
I think everywhere you live there are things you like and don't like. Today they had dad's and donuts, Marielle had fun. Its nice to have a boss who supports things like that


I have started school for my master's so I can continue to teach nursing students. I am enjoying being home for a bit while we make the transition.

No news from VEGAS but never expected any.

I miss being close to my mom and sisters but it has been great living closer to my brother and seeing him more often. I need to get out there and take some fall pictures and start my editing class.

I do like living on the East Coast, more than I thought I would.

Gettysburg

I absolutely LOVE Gettysburg. So full of history and SO BEAUTIFUL !!!!

We are loving it here. I have started school and hope to accelerate and finish in two semesters.

Nothing new on houses which is not fun but all in good time I guess...when you follow your instincts you have to have faith things all happen for a reason.

Will have to pst some pictures.

Rangers Apprentice

Another year...kids grow up so fast and you look back and wonder if you raised them ok. You look ahead and realize how young you really are when you are forced to be an adult.

September 23, 2011

Fall is here my favorite time of year. It has been a beautiful rainy day. We have been here a month and so far kids are doing great. Who would have thought MOM would have had the hardest time moving. Mom who always thought being a military brat and moving was cool. But we are in a very beautiful part of the US. I do not mind the rain...we are excited for snow...will let you know if after the long winter if SNOW is still something I enjoy.

With the new facebook changes I think I will post pictures here instead. Just before we moved I was teaching clinicals and really loved teaching new nursing students but to continue I have to get my nursing masters and so since life has brought many new adjustments I will be going back to school for nursing masters and eventually np. Just hate how much school costs and I will be paying back til I die but I really want to do this.

Marielle will be starting cheer camp and she is excited. McKenna would like to start archery classes so I am looking for those for her. I want to find a photography and editing class for me.

I do like being a SAHM but I need to better manage my time. I realized that I watch to much TV BUT after reading others who have decided to stay home I am finding that for about a month of TV is normal. Honestly it has just been the past few days that I am sleeping on eastern time zone.

Moving has taught me one thing....this earth is beautiful and varied. Courage does not mean that things go your way. Don't forget whats important your family and making every day count.

Month in the NEW Place

We are doing well. The kids LOVE the new area...we agree that we would bring all our friends here.

House well lets just say the ones who took the stimulus and is suppose to help even when you meet comps....well plan B.

I am enjoying being a SAHM....finally getting on a sleep schedule where I don't want to sleep all day long. Ready for the house ties to be gone.......I really like living in the EAST there are tons of things we miss but over all we are adjusting.

Mechanicsburg PA

Well we are here and so far the girls love it.

We miss our friends from Henderson but look forward to making new friends also.

McKenna LOVES LOVES LOVE Eagleview Middle School and Marielle loves Greenridge.

Mom neeed to get better on taking and posting pictures.

We were able to do fall shopping and had so much fun meeting new friends.

Conquered a FEAR

Well I still have not made it jumping off a diving board but I can jump into the deep end finally. Next working on swimming to the side and then I can jump off the diving board.

Five more days and the vacation begins.

Seven More Days and We are on our Way

I have the best sister. She has come to help. And take home a few things that we could not fit.
She helps me get through the move and keeps saying its ok. Its hard to have to move from your dream house. Hard to give up on how you thought life should be. But you keep going forward.

And when we are back with my dad and others someday my sister deserves a spot in the celestial kingdom for how kind and caring she is. She gives and gives and never asks for anything in return. Life has not been easy and she deserves so much better.

We love her.

14 Days

Well the countdown is officially on for heading to Mechanicsburg, PA.
We will be in Utah for a few days ....then Winter Quarters.....Nauvoo.....Columbus and Shopping and then Mechanicsburg.

No news about the house just yet, but the person in charge seems optimistic.

I still wish I could take my house with me BUT as a good friend reminded me and I remind myself daily. This is just a MOMENT in time.

Another friend said YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT and come out stronger in the end.

So as the days tick down more and more stuff given away or tossed on garbage day. And thy will that what ever happens with the house will be the best for the family in the long run.

16 More Days

Well the days are winding down and our new life begins. Kids are excited. Next few weeks full of donation vans and good byes.

Memorial DAY

Another year has passed....our men and women remain in harms way.....
In our home we pray for you daily and morn when the ultimate sacrifice becomes somone's families reality.

We LOVE AMERICA and again THANK YOU for your service. Please know that this is not hollow THANKS but grateful praise for the freedom's you ensure.

Lets do better as those left behind to appreciate our freedoms and not vote them away.

CHANGES ARE A COMING OUR WAY

Wow October huh....well many many many changes have occurred since then.

Jason--new job in Pennsylvania

Natalie--SAHM once we get to PA

McKenna--sassy as ever, love her to death....big changes coming for her and hope kids are great to her as this is a hard year to move

Marielle----almost done with Kindergarten and excited to move

House--well we have a buyer but unless you have lived under a rock you don't know how BAD the economy and houses are in Southern Nevada.........and I dare anyone anywhere else to say its worse CAUSE ITS NOT....so it is all in B of A hands NOT SO FUN CAUSE well they are just not easy to deal with and don't really care you are moving to have a job vs no job....so hopefully we will jump through just enough hoops that they will say YES....
