Ok, it's been a while

I know it's been a while since my last blog post so I thought I would give a quick update on our family. Life have been absolutely wonderful since Patrick has been home. I forget how easy life can be when there is someone to share the responsibilities of life with me.

One of the first things Pat did when he returned home is become assistant coach to Britnie's softball team. He loved the opportunity since he wasn't home in time to coach a team himself. He received a plaque at the end of the season and was very honored by it. As much as he loves this family, he has that itch to deploy again. He loves what he does, and unfortunately in order for him to do his job he needs to be deployed.

Britnie has been in Colorado for the summer with her biological dad and his family. She seems to be having a good time and is able to spend a lot of time with my parents. It's amazing how fast she is growing and it's hard to believe she will be in 4th grade this year.

Bianca spent 4 weeks with my parents this summer and was able to ride on a plane for the first time as an unaccompanied minor. She thought she was hot stuff! She grew about 3 inches in the time she was there and has lost 2 teeth since she has been home. She continues to be a bookworm and is anxious for school to start.

I should be finishing up my degree in March. I missed my chance to finish in December because of my last minute decisions. I had every intention of finishing in March and then decided (once Pat came home) I wanted to finish in December so I could start working. Unfortunately, I am unable to take 23 credits in the fall semester in order to finish my degree so it will have to wait until March.

We are still living in this disgusting base house, but there is hope in sight. They have moved out most of the people in the old houses and are currently on the cul-de-sac before us. This time next month we will hopefully be in a new, beautiful, bug free home. Keep your fingers crossed for us because they always find a way to post-pone our move.
