DAY 74-
Hey everyone We arrived in Washington last night and drove to Oregon today. It has been a very long couple of days. The kids did really well for their first airplane flight. We arrived safely, and then went to my parents house in which I never had been to before. They had moved since I was home almost two years ago. It was a different experience going to their place, but not the old home I was use to. I had a little tears in my eyes pulling up to the new house. I never really never had the last chance to be in the old house. We drove by there today, the old house, the grass was over grown and awful. We also drove bye the High School Josh and I met. They are doing so much construction on it, it didn't even look like the same school. That was sad to. And then the neighborhoods around the school, and the old neighborhood are very junky. It doesn't make me miss living there.
I think that this is it for tonight. Sorry I haven't had much to say in the last few day, I have been very tired. Hopefully I will write more tomorrow. Missing, loving, and thinking of my hubby.
My husband and I
One of the 4 hardest time's of my life...

Good things, come to those who wait...
DAY 71-
If it isn't hard enough that I'm away from the man I love, If it wasn't hard enough when our trip was canceled yesterday until Saturday after being all checked into the airport and ready to go, it sure made it hard today when Elizabeth was sick!
I really didn't feel like doing anything today. I was not suppose to be waking up in Colorado, we were suppose to be waking up in my parents house, (in which I have never been to because they moved since we moved 2 years ago). I was suppose to be with my parents, with them helping me out. And we were suppose to leave tomorrow on Friday to head to Oregon. But no, everything was changed. Yesterday was a beautiful day. Apparently not long before our flight was suppose to leave, the weather in Denver turned horrible. There were tornadoes, and hail the size of golf balls. And then since our flight was canceled, and there are 4 of us, the next flight was not until Saturday night! Ugh, I wanted to scream and cry at the same time. The kids were throwing temper tantrums, and crying when I told them, as we were sitting at the gate, waiting for the plane to pull up, that it was cancelled, and we had to go home. This meant I had to call our neighbor to come pick us up. I didn't have the number to the lady that dropped us off, and she had the car seats. Oh well, we made it home safely.
Yesterday when we were leaving for vacation, my house was so nice and clean. Leave it to my kids, when I don't want to be here right now, to destroy it and make it such a mess. So, tomorrow, before we leave for our vacation, yet again, I have to re-clean the house!
I had called a total of 4 times to the airline, trying to get an earlier flight. They were booked, it was not possible at all. Finally, my parents had called to see about the return flight. Good things come to those that wait, well we have extended our vacation 2 weeks, and will be home almost a month! Which is what my parents originally wanted. My in-laws also, they were going to come out here and visit us in July, but it's not going to work out anymore. So, it all works out for us, and we are keeping our Saturday flight. I just have to go through the process of checking in bags, security check, and dealing with kids that don't want to listen, alone, AGAIN! It will all work out, when we can get to my parents house and see them.
So, here we are at our house, having a count down again, until we can fly out. Thinking of, missing and loving my husband.

Flying on a Jet Plane.... (With an edit)
DAY 70-
We will be leaving soon. The kids will be going on their first airplane flight. It is just going to be the 4 of us. I can't wait to see friends and family, but yet I'm a little sad to leave my house, with all of my things I use on a daily basis. It was hard knowing what to pack for all 4 of us for 2 weeks. Making sure we have the right amount of clothes, toys, etc.
Thank you to our neighbor who will be watching Luke for 2 weeks. I really appreciate it. This is it for tonight, I still have things to do, such as school work. Next time I write, I will be in Washington. Thinking of, loving, and missing my hubby as were getting ready to take a vacation "home", the place where we both met.
EDIT- it is 9:37 p.m, and I'm sitting here at home when I should be half way to Washington State. Our flight was canceled, and we are not able to fly out until Saturday. The kids and I are really bummed right now. We had someone drop us off at the airport. We got all checked in, ate dinner, and went and waited at our gate. Thanks to the bad weather in Denver it was canceled. And because we are traveling as 4 people, all other flights were booked until Saturday. It was a pain having to leave the airport with all 3 kids. And Elizabeth throwing temper tantrums. Now, I have to go through all of this all over again on Saturday! I guess things do happen for a reason, hmm, just wondering what that reason could be. I was looking forward to being home. And I didn't want to have to come back to the house with all of our luggage. So, until Saturday, when our vacation begins! (Unless I can get another flight out before that, If I have to I will call every hour)

Less then 24 hours until we see my parents...
DAY 69- (Not such a great number, maybe that is why it was a strange day!)
Today while Michael and Elizabeth were at their last day of school for 3 hours we were having repairs done. Again, it was completely left up to Elizabeth to go to school. And she wanted to. But that is probably because they were taking a present to their teachers. Something small, a note pad, pen, paper clip things and a card. They were just having an Assembly today.
When they got home, the repairs were finished for the day, not long after. They will be back here to fix them in 2 weeks, after we get home from vacation. We fly out Wednesday night. Were so excited.
Today I went to Fort to try and get a sticker from Fort for the car. I first almost was turned around at the gate when I asked for directions to the place. He thought my sticker was already expired. I said, I thought it expired in June. So, he told me the location, and not the directions. I was trying to drive around and figure it out. Finally I found the spot. Well, I could see it at least. I was stuck on Fort though. They closed all gates in and out. I was stuck with a ton of cars around and a closed gate, with the place I needed to be just on the other side. We waited 10 minutes, then we heard MP'S. We waited another 10 minutes, and they finally decided to let us out. Every car was stopped and searched and we had to show our Military I.D's while EXITING the gate. Apparently, When I was asking about why we were being searched going out of the gate, the guard said a 1 and 2 year old child were missing. Hopefully they were found safe and sound.
We arrived at our destination. I was getting my registration, Power of Attorney, I.D card, and looking for my insurance card. Crap, the one I had was expired the end of last month. So, it ended up being a waste of trip. We did go to the PX after to cash a check, but we wouldn't have been caught in the crazy situation.
So, when we arrived home I finished packing for our flight. It is all ready to go. Now just a few things to do around the house before we fly out tomorrow night. I cannot wait. I still miss my husband though, and it still won't make it any easier since we are flying back to the state we met. I hope these next few months go by fast so that I can see him. I miss him tons.

Vacation Countdown...
DAY 68-
I forgot to add on my Sunday blog. Saturday when we were having "Mom's night in", I was able to talk to my hubby. I usually don't like to be the rude one and talk on the phone when I have someone over. But, since my husband is only able to call every few days (time before that was Tuesday morning), I talked to him for 28 minutes, and enjoyed every minute. I hate being away from the man I love.
Today, was half day for the kids. It was completely optional for Elizabeth, since she graduated kindergarten on Friday. I left it up to her to go. On a typical morning she throws a temper tantrum saying, "I don't want to go to school". Today I wasn't going to fight it. So, she ate breakfast at normal time, and I told her we still needed to take Michael to school. I told him not to take his back pack since they were just going to school for an Assembly. When we arrived at the school, I let Michael out of the car. All of a sudden, I heard, "I want to go to school mommy", I was like okay. I let her out of the car, watched her play for a few minutes, (they have recess in the morning before class), and made sure that she went to class. Then I came home.
Today the people we rent from came over to make some of the repairs from the Spring Inspection we had a month ago. They will be back tomorrow morning to finish them up. Right before they left for the day, around noon, the kids came home from school on the bus.
The rest of the day was spent doing laundry, and cleaning. Then tonight after dinner we went to Walmart. I needed dog food to take over to the neighbors on Wednesday. Swiffer wet, to clean my nasty floor. And and in expensive key board (in which I'm using now). My other wireless keyboard stopped working, even after changing the batteries.
I needed the keyboard because my assignments for both of my classes were already a day late since the keyboard wasn't working. We have a computer in the basement, but it doesn't have the program I needed. I needed on this computer I'm on now.
Well, in two days, The kids and I will be flying "home", to the state we are from for 2 weeks. That is why the neighbor needed the dog food. She is watching Luke for 2 weeks for us. We will be able to see my parents, other family and friends. I cannot wait. Our vacation is going to probably go by fast though. We are going back to the state where Josh and I met, and where we had all three of our kids. But our real home is where the Army takes us, and wherever Josh is. My heart follows wherever he goes. I love him sooo.. much that no words could explain. I will be happy to be around friends and family, but it still wont make up for the feeling of missing him and wanting to be with him. I hope these next few months go by fast, I cannot wait to see my amazing, handsome husband.

Very Busy Day...
DAY 67-
I'm starting to get very tired right now. Today has been a long, busy day. We woke up at 6:50 a.m this morning. I usually sleep in on weekends, but it worked out okay. The little boy that I was watching, and his mom spent the night. His mom and I ended up talking until nearly midnight then went to bed. Then he was up and ready to go at 6:50 a.m. As I was up getting dressed, my boys went downstairs. I was just getting ready to go downstairs to make breakfast, and my oldest came and told me they left.
I ended up making breakfast for us, and eating at the table as a family at 8 this morning. We had gone to Church this morning also. By the time it was time for Church at 11 a.m, it felt like we had already gone through one day. I was even busy this morning before Church, doing laundry, and cleaning the kitchen.
After Church, I continued to do laundry all day. As I washed clothes up, I would then pack the ones I want to take on our trip. I hate it when I fall behind on laundry. It is a pain. But, I'm almost caught up today, and almost packed.
Then tonight I cleaned up the basement where the kids toys are. We are suppose to be getting some repairs done tomorrow. The house looks all nice and clean now. Tomorrow, and Tuesday I will just have to go back through the house, and swiffer, sweep, vacuum, etc. I want a nice clean house when we return from vacation.
Waking up at 6:50 a.m worked out great, since I didn't take a nap, I was able to accomplish a lot around the house. Now on to a new day tomorrow. Each day we get through is not only a day closer for vacation, but a day closer to seeing my hubby. In which I'm missing him like crazy tonight. I'm hoping this time goes by fast.
