Texas part 2
When the boys and I arrived in Wichita Falls, Tom had everything ready to go for the apt and shortly after we arrived one of his buddies came and helped unload the car and set up the boys beds. We have amazing friends here and seem to gain more and more as time goes on. Tom gets to be here at the apt with us for a few hours each night but has a curfew during the week and then gets to stay the whole weekend which is GREAT. I've only freaked out on him a few times when I saw another person in the bed LOL. We found a GREAT church and have been regularly attending. I also go to a play group on base, the Library for story time and found a MOPS group. So we stay busy we also go to an indoor jump place once in a while which is fun for ALL even mommy ;) I went and learned how to make homemade tortillas this week and met some more Airforce wives. The bummer thing is that since Tom is in training we can't ALL get together as families because he's not supposed to hang out with higher ranks right now. Which can be annoying because all of the higher ranks are more my age and in my walk of life verses the teenagers that Tom can talk to. But the upside to having the younger guys and gals around is that we never have a shortage of babysitters and our boys LOVE them. So that has been awesome. I also rather enjoy being in a bigger city and being able to make a last minute decision to go out to eat and it only takes 15 mins or so rather than 45 mins to go anywhere outside of Canon City. I dearly miss my washer and dryer and the convenience of throwing a quick load in versus wondering did I get quarters? Is it nap time? are we leaving in the next 2 hours? Are their any machines open? Is it too windy? ( I don't appreciate my under wear flying across the parking lot) That is pretty much our life in a nut shell... more later... Might even add pics
TEXAS!
Soo much for keeping up on my blogging LOL.. the past few months have been a whirl wind.
Tom and I decided to move me and boys down to Texas and that was quite the process.
I drove down by myself to bring 1 vehicle and look for a place to live while our AMAZING friends watched two of my monsters... 1 very long boring drive and an almost speeding tickets later( I was going a whole 2 mph over, stupid cop said I was going 12 over, didn't even know the stinking speed limit) I made it to Texas, how did I know? My mountains were NO where to be found. After a whole day of looking at places that scared the living day lights out of me and finding one that I absolutely LOVED but the manager wouldn't show up to work go figure. I was at the end of my rope and a friend I was staying with said hey lets go look at this place, I've heard good things about it from other moms. So she dragged me ( almost literally) to this apartment complex and I talked to the manager. It was WAY cheaper than any of the other places I had looked at and it was quite a bit nicer than most also. I flew back home and began packing up my entire house ( not the greatest thing to do alone) 2 weeks later my Life Group helped me move everything into a storage unit and then a few days later I began my journey to get to Texas... had to Stop in GJ to pick up Jonah from Bonnie's house and be sick for an entire week and then after being a week late and a VERY long two days of driving we made it to TEXAS! The boys didn't know what to do seeing daddy. I don't think they really believed he was back for a good week. now of course Micah has his schedule down to a T and will tell you when daddy gets to stay and when he doesn't at night time. Jonah has quickly warmed back up to him and he is now once again the favorite.

KINDERGARTEN
of course pics will come later but just an update on the boys
Micah and Riah started back to preschool the beginning of Jan after Winter break. Riah seems to be learning quite a bit.. He knows his letters pretty well and can count to 20 with help.
Micah just blows my mind with how fast he can pick things up and how smart he really is.
My favorite quote from Riah was I want to pick up the toys mama I REALLY do! this was said after I told him to pick up and he said no and I asked him if he'd like a time out. LOL
Riah loves to say oppa Gangnam Style while hit his lincoln log box like a drum LOL and of Course Jonah does it now too.
I got the boys hair cut a few weeks ago so they don't look like uncared for rag muffins anymore haha.
Jonah counted to 15 the other day ALL by himself. I about fell out of my chair.
OOOHHH and... I JUST found out because I decided to research it that Micah will be going to kindergarten in the FALL my baby starts school... i have VERY mixed feelings about this especially since it's ALL day kindergarten there. But the more I think about it, academically he is VERY ready, I told my mom the other day he's smarter than me LOL... I feel like it sometimes when he trys to reason with me.

This time apart has really taken it toll on me especially since I was able to see Tom for Graduation.
He has done a WONDERFUL job of making me feel loved tho. A few weeks ago he sent me flowers out of the blue and today he sent me a cd. He said he thought of me when he heard a song the other day because we used to sing with it on the radio ALL the time in college, and so he sent me the cd and had me play and sing along with the song for him :) sorry for the run on sentence... I am quite tired but I wanted to remember this so I thought I'd blog about it.
