Well, once it started happening, it happened very fast. We are moving. Today. On post. I cannot begin to describe how excited we are. The house has four bedrooms, a dining room, a HUGE laundry room that does not double as the downstairs bathroom (yes, this house has that....so strange and not all that convenient). It has a backyard with a privacy fence around it and a bathroom in the master bedroom, so that the boys can have their own bathroom! It is also within walking distance of splash parks, at least 5 different playgrounds, a skate park, walking trails, an indoor playground, I could go on and on!
It is also so much closer to work for Tyrone! He will be able to come home for breakfast between PT and work, and for lunch if he has time. He won't have to wake up at 4am, and he will be home before 6:30pm! This is all so exciting. Oh, did I mention the attached garage? That's Tyrone's favorite part!
This is going to be a good thing! I might not be online for a few days, though. I'm not sure how long it will take the cable company to switch our service to the new house. Wish us luck, Tyrone is going to go pick up our moving truck shortly!
Tyrone & Bailey
Tyrone and I met when I was 17....I was a waitress at a diner and he was the cook. He was kind and handsome, and before I knew it, I was in love! We started dating a few months later and NOW! Now we have been married for almost 10 years, together for over 13. The Army has taken us MANY places, and now we find ourselves at Fort Bliss, in El Paso, TX.
Kaleb
Kaleb is our oldest child! He is a most excellent big brother. He is the constant playmate/rival of his brother, and the president of his sister's fan club. Kaleb is so smart, helpful, and caring that it blows my mind! He is a month away from being 14, and is responsible, loving and TALL! At last measurement, he was 2 inches taller than me (his mom.) Yesterday, he had to bend down to kiss the top of my head. What a blessing this kiddo is....teenage boy baggage included!
Gabriel
Gabriel is a live wire! Such an interesting mix of big & little. He is quite the cuddle bug, a momma's boy, and the most intense of our children. He is happiest when in motion and can scale a rock wall in an instant. He is diagnosed with ADHD and that hasn't stopped him for a second! He is smart, scientifically inclined, and a light for us all. He is the first to enlighten us with new facts about space, elements, and all kinds of random facts. He is struggling with 6th grade, but smiles through it all. Gabe is an amazing boy.
Shiloh
Shiloh
My Shiloh-girl. She has a heart for everything that moves! Don't you dare squish that bug! She is smart, kind, and a people pleaser. She is happiest welcoming people to our home and loves nothing more than encouraging others. She is picking up the quickest of all of us on Hispanic language and culture, and has made fast friends with non-English speakers here, at our new home. She is our light, our joy, our reminder that good is all around us.
Emmeline
Emmeline
Emmeline Lily, or Emme, has changed our lives so much. She is smart, demanding, and loving. Her moods are mercurial, challenging all we thought we knew about parenting. But her love, and her intelligence, are above reproach. She is rocking Kindergarten, and doing much better than her mommy with the separation. She is intense, she is smart, she is strong, she is gentle. She is Emme.
