This was our last 2 weeks.....

Kristen and Kierra and Brookelynn - March 28, 2009

Rehersal

Out playing with Papa Carl's Llamas. This lead one spit at Will. It was so entertaining!!

Brookelynn leading the other set.

Will's graduation and all of his loot.

As you can see we hit the ground running here in Idaho. Will was only here for two weeks and we had lots of family fly in for the wedding so that kept us busy. It was a beautiful wedding but I'm not going to lie.....so glad it's over.

Will left yesterday morning for El Paso to get our things out of storage and head for Ft Benning GA. Just talked to him and he is not too far from Houston. Texas never ends when you're driving through it. He will start Airborne school next week and then Pathfinder school. The girls and I will meet up with him mid-May to head to Ft Campbell KY. Can't wait for that.

The girls have plenty of adjustments since we have no home, but it is nice to be staying with my parents and they are doing well.

I did have a dr's appointment but I really didn't find out too much. Besides my due date is October 18th. I am hoping for an ultrasound in a few weeks. We have all been sick since we got here, so can't wait till that lets up.

My hope is that I can keep on top of the blog since things have settled down a bit.

Graduation...now we're back home

Hey everyone,

I graduated on Tuesday. It was a good course in the sense that I did learn a lot about Air Defense Artillery and I spent a good amount of time with my family. :) The Lord was good to me during this course and I was somehow able to graduate as the Distinguished Honor Graduate (1st in my class), the Iron Leader (highest physical fitness score), the Communications Award winner, and the Lightweight combatives champion...our class did very well as a group so it made it more enjoyable to go through it with them.

We had a very good trip to Idaho and now are staying with my family (the Thornfeldt's) in Fruitland and we are all SOOOO happy to be home.

Kierra and Brookelynn have been able to see all their Grandparents and they love being with all of them (although I think the Grandparents love it more)

Danae is super happy to be in a house that feels like a home and she has been able to visit some of her friends. She goes to the Dr. on Monday so hopefully we will know a little more then.

Just wanted to let you all know that we were safe and enjoying the colder weather here in Idaho...not quite the 70-80 degree winter El Paso gave us, but at least its not snowing!

Love you guys.

Explosion or Packing??

This is what I have been doing all week. It's a nightmare being our 4th move in a year. When we get to Ft Campbell it'll complete us with 5 moves in a year. Ewwww.....I'm ready to call any place home:). We will move to a hotel for a few days before flying to Idaho next week. Kids are excited to move on to the next phase of our journey. I'll post more later.

Clinch Drill

Today I got level 1 certified in Modern Army Combatives. The culminating event is what is known as the clinch drill. This consists of you getting into a ring with a puncher (who is wearing boxing gloves) and you have to close the distance between you and him and achieve one of four clinch techniques. You have to do this four different times, and the drill only stops when you achieve the clinch. Thankfully, only a few people got injured although several got their bells rung.

I'm glad its over...now we only have a combatives tourney tomorrow, graduation rehearsal on Monday, and graduation on Tuesday.

I can't wait to see you guys in Idaho.

Love,
Will
