Not keeping up....

I know it's been a while since I've blogged. I seem to have trouble keeping up with this thing...it's all I can do most of the time to keep up with life and my kiddos. This year has seen a lot of huge changes for us though and I just know they are going to keep on coming. 

We are no longer in 29 Palms. I am both happy and sad about this to be honest. Yes, it's in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the desert, but on the other hand, I met some really great people. Of course along with the really great people, there were those that weren't so great, so like everything else you take the good with the bad. But, we have finally purchased a house of our own! With the housing market in Las Vegas as bad as it is, we totally took advantage and got a mother of a good deal. We have a house that is big enough for us forever, and in all honestly once the kids are grown, it may be a little big, depending on how close they stay to us. But, there are so many things we would like to do to the house, it should be lots and lots of fun! And I'm sure we'll never run out of things to do around here. No, the hubby did not get out of the Marine Corps yet. He still has a ways to go until retirement. So, we bought him a travel trailer. You might think this is a terrible thing, why aren't we with him when we can be and all that good stuff. Well, we aren't that far apart, and sure it's not going to be easy, but even when we are with him, it's never easy. He is going to be at schools and deploying and all that stuff, and he works late, the time he spends with us on his time off is more quality then when we are living with each other. It's hard to believe for some, but it's true. The time we have together is always precious, but sometimes the day to day gets you so screwed up that you forget that. Not being together all of the time, you learn to remember that. 

That being said, he is now on leave and will be home tomorrow until after the New Year! We plan on having a wonderful holiday and enjoying the time we are together. After his leave the time will be very short and he will be leaving for Quantico to attend WOBC. He should graduate in late May, the kids and I are looking forward to our first trip out to the east coast to see his graduation and do some site seeing! The hubs and I think it will be a great educational trip for our oldest, not sure if the younger 3 will get alot out of it, well, maybe the 6 year old, but the other two won't remember it. So maybe one day we will get to go back for them, but we'll see. 

I hate the men that he is currently working for, so I am looking forward to him getting to his new shop in June. And I'm looking forward to spending some quality time at the beach here and there too ;0) Taking some actual trips in our new travel trailer instead of him just living in it all the time!

Well, I have more stuff, but it's getting late and my thoughts are getting jumbled. So for now, I'm going to go.

Later!
