Life

Wow how life can change. Two months ago, we were on vacation in Minnesota. Visiting family, going to the fair and zoo. Enjoying life. Living in military housing in San Diego. Having horrible neighbors. Living near great friends. Now we own a home, or at least paying on a mortgage, in Minnesota.

We bought a beatiful house in Minnesota, we are paying on something that is ours and loving all the space. It is a 5 bedroom 3.5 bedroom with a 3 car garage. Its a spilt level. We love it! This place is three times the house we had in San Diego. The only downside to all of this is Mark isnt living with us. He is stationed in San Diego and will travel alot to see us. I hate not having him here to help with the kids. But if all falls right our house will be nearly paid off when he gets out of the Navy in about 9 1/2 years. We do spend everynight on Skype though which is nice to see him and the kids loving being able to see him as they talk. Makalia even reads to Daddy and shows him school projects.

With a new house comes the chore of decorating. All the furniture I bought comes friday so the rest of the rooms will start to look normal, instead of empty rooms. We are doing a country americana look. I am excited to get started.

How time is flying. It seems like the other day that it was the begining of October and here we are coming up on Halloween. The kids are excited for halloween. Henry is going to be buzz lightyear of coarse and Makalia is going to be a blue rock-n-roll fairy. We carved a pumpkin last weekend. That was alot of fun.

Now we are just sitting waiting for the SNOW.....
