I miss him♥

Well, Ben left on Tuesday, 1/4/11, and flew to D.C. He stayed the night and then flew to Korea the next day. This week has been busy for us. Brittney started her new school on Tuesday and then that afternoon, my mom and stepdad came for a visit and to see the new house. We visited for another day and then they left on Thursday. We had a really nice visit and mom and I got a chance to go find and explore downtown Belleville; it is filled with quaint little shops and is very cute! There is also a Mexican restaurant there that we have to try. I LOVE salsa and have to find the best in town. Christian was able to start school on Thursday, as it took a little longer to get him registered. Both kids are doing well, but Britt complains that all the kids in her classes talk too much and the teachers don't do anything about it. She also has been throwing her lunch trash in the wrong trash can at school. The story is - she threw her trash away and heard, "Oh no you didn't!" Then the "Divas", a group of girls walked over and introduce themselves and then proceeded to tell her that this was their trashcan and that she shouldn't use it. Well, she used it again yesterday; you go girl! Ha ha!

Well, pictures of the house will be posted very soon. We are still waiting on our new furniture to be delivered. They have said it is coming on Tuesday. So, once I have everything settled, I will be snapping some photos!

We did get to Skype with Ben yesterday and he is very jet lagged. It was so great to see him and talk with him. Gotta love technology! He arrived at his base at about 15 hours or so ago. Hopefully he is sleeping in a nice bed as I type. I don't have an address for him yet, but if anyone wants it, please let me know and I will get it to you. I am sure he would love to hear from everyone. We miss him but are doing well. Ah....the joys of being a military family. Signing out on day 4 ♥ Christy
