Finally In Ohio!

'The last few months have been very busy, fun, exciting and exhausting. We left Washington only a couple weeks after Mike returned home from Germany. No play time for us when he got home as we had to get packed up and ready for the move. We packed up the cars and left Washington on March 27th and began our long journey.

We drove a short 300 miles where we stopped in Spokane at Fairchild Air Force Base for the night. While in Spokane we were able to go to dinner with some friends which was great. Who knows when we will see them next. We left the next morning and drove to Bozeman MT to visit Mikes parents, step-brother, nieces and nephews. We were able to spend a couple days there before heading to Utah. The morning we left for Utah it SNOWED. The road we were to travel on was closed so up the passes through Yellowstone and Island Park we went instead. The roads were very icy in some parts so the drive took much longer than expected. Once in Utah, we stayed there a few days before hearing on to Denver to get in front of another storm. We spent five days in Denver visiting friends and showing Judson around the Air Force Academy before Mike continued to Alabama and the kids and I headed back to Utah.

The kids and I spent the next month with grandma, Andy and Tegan. Judson enjoyed coloring Easter eggs and going to Easter egg hunts with his cousin. He also enjoyed playing outside with neighbor kids, making new friends and most of all learning to ride his bike with NO TRAINING WHEELS!!! Paislee enjoyed getting tons of attention and kept me on my toes as she got more mobile. I had a great time hanging out with friends I had not seen in a while and playing soccer with friends from high school. Mike made the most of his time in Alabama while at Squadron Officer School.

From Utah, the kids and I headed to North Carolina to visit more friends. As always we had a great time with the Seamone's. Judson and Ellie had tons of fun playing together and even got along this time. Aspen is growing up so fast and was always pointing to Paislee telling us what she wanted to play with her. It was very exciting to be able to be with Sheree at her 4D ultrasound and find out that she will be having a BOY!! As soon as Mike finished in Alabama, he hit the road and headed to NC to get the kids and I.

We left North Carolina and headed out for our final destination OHIO!!!!! The first week was spent looking for a house to rent since we ruled out the houses on base. They were way to small. Judson enjoyed living in a hotel where he and Mike went swimming morning noon and night. We finally got a place rented have our stuff and are connected again. I still have quite a bit of unpacking to do. I figure it will get done sooner or later.

Sorry this is so long. Just thought I should update why I have not posted anything for the past two months. I promise now that we are connected to post more often.
