Long Time No Blogging.....
Okay, so I've realized that even though I've had computer problems lately and can't upload and edit photos that I probably still need to continue to blog. :-) Thank you Crystal for encouraging me....I LOVE your blog! You've done a great job setting it up and I hope that you will continue with it as you find the time in your busy day.
This blog will be short because I'm almost certain that Ian will wake from his morning nap and of course there are still tons of things I need to get done in the house before he does! :-)
Since I last blogged....we have purchased our retirement home in the Jacksonville, Florida area near my family (Green Cove Springs to be specific). It is absolutely gorgeous...really a dream home for us all and most definitely an answer to prayer. The boys and I plan to arrive there when school finishes in June and spend the Summer getting unpacked and settled in before the Fall. Ruben will join us sometime in late Summer or early Fall we hope. The separation will be tough...but with my family close by it will make it bearable.
The boys are doing great in school and finishing up the last month of their extra-curricular activities before the big packout and move. They will say goodbye to their karate and swim teachers the end of this month; but, will continue with soccer up until we actually leave Okinawa. Speaking of soccer, Evan & Ayden are on the same team again this year...hopefully I will get my photo editing program going once again and can post some cool game photos of them both in action!
Ian is growing like a weed...he is nearly 10 months old and has 4 teeth and is working on getting a 5th one! He just recently started pulling up on the rails of his crib and can stand for quite a bit unassisted...wow....it's definitely all over now! I told the bigger boys to get those Lego pieces picked up and put in their rooms ASAP! :-)
Well, as I move towards going back to work when we get to Jax (sigh)....I will be starting as a Red Cross Volunteer in the ER at the Naval Hospital this coming Monday. I'm only going to be there 2 days a week for about 4 hours each day....just enough to check it out and see if I really want to take the plunge and go to nursing school at some point. Also, after nearly 8 years as a stay-home-mommy my resume is looking rather sad....I'm hoping to at least put that on there in the hopes of finding a job in this difficult economy.
Okay, sorry to make this so short. Blessings to each of you and your families. As always, please post comments...it really does encourage me to blog more often.
XXOO, Terry

Okay, there's something wonderful to be said about being a stay at home mommy! You still have plenty of time to enjoy with your baby. Don't rush it away. (I feel better now.:) Love you! ~S
It's good to hear from you, Terry!
Will we get to see pictures of this new dream home??
Sabrina, Yes, I've very much enjoyed being at home...just ready for a change in my life. :-) Pam, yes, there are pics up on my Facebook page of the new house...not sure if you're on there or not. I will see if I'm technically saavy enough to copy and move them here. LOL! :-)
