Uhhmm, Hi!!

Well, it's been nearly 9 MONTHS since I last posted on the World Wide Web!! Don't be fooled, I've been online, wasting time on FB, and other sites, WORKING out and updating that on dailymile.com. And taking care of a new baby girl, she's 9thms now (as of Nov.4) and those other 2 crazy girls (now 2 and 5)! We survived a move from China Lake, drove to Texas (end of May; Crazy roadtrip with 3 kiddos, a dog, hamster and Super Loaded SUV) to spend the summer there while he was in SD with School, We survived. It was TOUGH; So many memories of my dad, so many. Family was different, everything was different. I felt in the way a lot of times, it wasn't home, we didn't belong. The girls LOVED it though, they spent time with FAMILY and that's what's most important. They haven't spent that much time with family ever, especailly Ailea. Serena grew and grew, nursed and nursed. I shredded weight, MAJORLY, struggled daily with making it happen. Joined the YMCA and managed a gym visit while I was in the city then squeezed in a workout (RUN) late night when girls were sleeping. Leanna started KINDERGARTEN in Wharton, of all places. The City was a hassle with wanting info I wasn't really able to get. So, we basically stayed in Wharton from then on. I was sooo READY to move onto Washington; that day finally came and we were on the road for 6 DAYS!! Both vehicles were Crazy Loaded with what seemed like out entire household, we made it to WA on Wednesday Oct 19, straight into our new place (3 BD, 2 1/2BR Townhome). He drove ahead on the last day to make sure we secured the house and made it with only minutes to spare; Wheww!! Household Goods were delivered the following day and so the unpacking began. It's now 2 1/2 weeks later and I'm still making it home,he will checking into TPU next week and head off to deployment. It's going to be rough but at least now we have our own space. Washington is BEAUTIFUL; Cold and Rainy!! I love it here and I'm excited to see more of it!!! :D
