I am so proud!!

Well today it is official... John has been selected to attend the Senior Service College (AKA, War College) next summer!! I am very proud and very excited to finally live some place other than Tennessee and Kentucky... :) I am not exactly sure what the "War College" is or what they study, seems like they would study war but I don't think it is that simple... ?? Maybe strategies? I will have to ask John to give me more details... regardless, we will be moving next summer most likely to Carlisle Pennsylvania! WOW.. that is a bit of a change from the south I'd say.. The best part is he will be home most all the time during this year.. it will be like having a 9-5 type job where he is actually home by 5 each night and home every weekend... I had begun to give up hope of this happening.. but alas! It will...


Baby is still doing well and growing like crazy... as is Annabelle... Tonight when the phone rang, she exclaimed "It's DADDY!!" and put her hand to her ear and said "Hello?" Very cute... she is very into the phone now... today she got our home phone and was just talking up a storm... So I decided to call Daddy and have her chat with him.. She got off the couch with the phone to her ear and walked around the living room just talked talked talked to him.. it was so funny... and John got a kick out of it too!

Another little newbie thing she does is exclaim "WOW" and WHOA" when something is exciting or if she loses her balance coming down the stairs.. so funny... I should just walk around all the time with the video going to catch all the cute things she does...

I have also found a way to keep busy while John is gone... I have cleaned out three closets now and put everything I kept from said closets in containers... Amazing how much better things look when the same junk is in a container!! You do have to go broke buying containers but it really needed to be done... (especially after getting 7 years worth of clothing from a dear friend)

Thanks for all the name votes! I thought Abigail was the front runner by a long shot but it seems now, Addison is closing in!! haha... I like them all so it will be interesting to see witch one is on top come November!!

OK.. Time to sit on the couch!! Thanks for the continued prayers... we love you all and miss those that are away from us...
