Happy Holidays!!! Welcome and thanks for stopping by. We decided to make this site so that all of our friends and family could keep up with us while are living so far away. We would like to share with you too and hope that you enjoy our memories. Where are we, you ask? We moved back to the states in November, 2008. Ben got a special job in the AF and is working for the Pentagon for 4 years. This was unexpected, but we are very excited to be in D.C. and are all loving it! You may not know, but we were in limbo from February 2008 (thinking we would be in DC by 15 April 2008) until we finally got here in November 2008. It just took the military a little extra time to get all of the kinks worked out for Ben's new job, but it was well worth the wait. Wow, we can't believe that we have been here for a year now; how time flies? We are all settled in to our new home in Stafford, Virginia and are very excited to have been able to move on with our lives. Being in limbo is terrible! The kids are doing great and have fit right into their new schools. Soccer season started in March and was over at the end of May. That was a busy time with both kids playing, Ben coaching, and me having to coach when Ben was gone (which was quit a bit). I have come to learn that I just like being a great soccer mom:) |

We bought a foreclosure and have been doing tons of work on it. You can read all of the stories in our scrapbook; you might find them a little humorous! We have knocked down walls, painted, replaced carpet, remodeled a bathroom & kitchen, new landscaping, painted shutters, replaced the front door, and much more! I found a GREAT job and started in early March. I am working for a Primary Care doctor and she and my whole office are wonderful. I couldn't be happier. I am a medical assistant (basically her nurse....but I am not really a nurse...they just call me one) for her and I just love my patients. It is great to be actually doing what I am meant to do, and not just settle for whatever I can do while being overseas. I am also still a doula and had a special delivery just before Easter. The kiddos were gone all summer enjoying their grandparents in Florida. They spent the first half with Christy's mom and stepdad, and the second half with Ben's parents. We got them back at the end of August and took a week long trip to see Mickey Mouse in Florida. We are full swing into school and things are going pretty well, dispite the normal challanges that we have keeping the kids on track. It is tough work being a parent sometimes, but we will survive! Christian is in HIGH SCHOOL....and Britt is in MIDDLE.....Aghghghghg!!!! I can't believe how grown they are! The kids both played soccer this fall and Christian has been doing conditioning for the high school soccer team and tryouts are in February. Just after school started, Christian got his BRACES! Have a look in our Family Scrapbook below for more stories and lots of photos of the house! I just completely overhauled the website and we are trying to keep new pictures and updates coming. Enjoy, thanks for stopping by, and check back often for new stuff! Hope all is well and please keep in touch when you can. We always love to hear from friends and family. Please sign our guestbook so we will know you came to visit. |
