Been a Long Time

Okay, so I am not going to be regular with this blog (obviously...lol). I wanted to be, but I always seem to be busy. Anyway, We are now living in Kentucky and Brian is back to work at a normal job. Since my last post we have had some new additions to the home. A new vehicle, Toyota Sienna, which I HIGHLY recommend, we love it and two kittens named Areia (say area, Sammi made up the spelling and wanted something unique) and Zephi. We had a lot of family come for the holidays: Brian's Mom, Dad1, Dad2 and sister and my Brother Michael and Shawn were here all on X-mas day and my mom and her husband came on the 30th to meet the in-laws (we exchanged Hanukkah gifts earlier). Unfortunately, Aunt Toni (Brian's sis) got pretty sick with a sinus infection, but I don't think she let it ruin her fun. It was nice to see all of Brian's family and we even had massive family photos done at Sears (which I get back in 2 days and will scan and share). We haven't done that for 6 years.

Since we live closer to Cincinnati (2 1/2 hours away) where my Mom, her husband, Michael and Shawn live, we have made several visits already up there and they have made some down here. The drive is really nice and seems to go rather quickly. I have not gotten to see my friends that live up there yet, but I do hope to soon.

Brian is deploying again in late spring early summer, this time for 15 months. I am a little nervous about the length of time, but I know we will all manage.

Okay well, that is all I can think of at the moment. Post and let me know how you are doing. When you have the time, check out the pictures I have posted at:

During the opening of presents I made all the adults make a goofy face holding up a present, enjoy the silliness!


Hope you all are doing well, and I hope the year 2008 is the best one you have had so far!
