Oh My! How time flies.

It's crazy to think that almost 5 months ago I moved down here to Georgia. I felt like the time here was going to be so long, but it was flown. Kendall got his orders yesterday and we should be out of here within the next two weeks!! Kendall got what is called A-Trap or hometown Recruiting. which means we will be home for about 3 weeks! YAY. 2 of these weeks kendall will work with the local recruiting office during the day. We are so excited to be going back home. and leaving the Georgia humidity!

After these few weeks at home we will be heading to Texas! We are praying that we can get on-post housing because not only will that allow us more time together, but it will also save us the hassle of having to find a new place (something i am not looking forward to doing if we have to.)

We can not wait to see our family and friends and to be HOME again. For years I always wanted to leave Bloomington, and once I do, I can't WAIT to go back!!!

Life has been really crazy but exciting lately. We no longer have Internet at the house so my blog posts may be longer in between. Although I do now have an iPhone. Which definitely helps me with being able to get online :)

So I'm an aunt! My sister had Rilyn at the beginning of this month. It was very exciting! She's beautiful. I would post a picture but idk how to from my phone. She is now only waking up once during the night. Which I'm sure is a blessing to my sister.

Kendall will be done with all his training in 3 and a half weeks. We are very excited. He is hoping to get something called atrap aka hometown recruiting. Basically we would go home for 2 weeks and he would work with the recruiters before we move. Please pray for this as it would mean we'd get a chance to spend some time at home before our next move.

Speaking of moving. After all of this we will be moving down to Texas. It will be a little stressful as we won't know where we will live til we get there because we want to see the place before we move in. The army will put us up in a hotel for ten days. So hopefully we can settle everything within those ten days! :) so please please pray that everything will get figured out and go smoothely.

Well that's all for now.
Have a great day!

the unfortunate life of not having a computer

Okay the pictures will be up soon, because they aren't working right now!


So this past few weeks I have not had the opportunity to have a computer. My charger broke and we had to wait to order another one. Today I had a wonderful surprise when I went to get the mail, my charger was in there! I was not expecting it until this coming Tuesday. Needless to say i'm ecstatic. It has been way too long since I have been able to get on my computer. I didn't even have my music, it was terrible. haha So here is yet another giant update. Hopefully now they will start being more regular again.

Today is Kendall's birthday. He turned 19 today. :) Happy birthday, baby!!! Here is the wonderful cake I made for him.



two weeks ago Kendall's mom and brother came and stayed with us. Although the weekend didn't quite work out the way we wanted it to, it was still fun. Kendall's company had gotten in a lot of trouble and he wasn't allowed the usual amount of time home. However, we all stayed in high spirits even with the many hours of waiting til he could come home. During that time we took a little bit of time to tour fort Gordon.



Last weekend a few friends and I went to a fair that they were having at Fort Gordon. Although it was really fun, one of the rides definitely made us feel sick. it spun in circles WAY too quickly. Here are some pictures from that :)



As for now that is all that i can think of that are big updates.
Have a great day!

another little catch up

           I keep having things in mind for posts that I need to do, and sometimes I even start the post. ha but i've been pretty bad about actually putting them up. So here is another little update and hopefully i'll be better from now on :) 
          
           This past week I spent a lot of time in my yard making everything look a lot nicer!  On Friday, I weed-eated the yard, sprayed the weeds with weed killer (which i need to do again.) and then trimmed my shrubs in my front yard.  Lots of hard work.  Also got very sunburned! haha. but it was well worth it!  My yard is starting to look amazing! This week I want to treat the grass so that it starts to turn green... cause right now it's still dead from winter. and i don't like that. plus i think i'm going to get pots and some flowers and have big pots of flowers in my back and front porch things. ha I don't know if i can actually plant in the ground, plus this way when we move in June i can move my flowers with me!!!

           So yesterday kendall got his early birthday present :) A new guitar amp.  He's been really excited and playing more than usual.  Hopefully now this will get him to start actually writing songs again and stuff.  Maybe do a few shows in the future and such. We're really excited because we found out Austin, tx has a really big indie music scene!  so I'm really hoping to get involved in that, since we won't be too far away from there.  I really miss going to shows and such!

Well that's all for now. I'm sure more will come up.

Have a great day!

a little softball for ya.

So Kendall has joined the softball team for his company (the group of soldiers he's a part of: Echo company). I love this because he has games every Tuesday and Thursday and I really enjoy going and watching him. Plus it gets me out of the house for a bit :) Kendall plays right field, I believe, and also bats. I'm always so proud of him! ha so Tuesday they beat a navy team :) and then Thursday they beat another army team.  I love being able to go to see him everyday for practice and games.  It makes the day go by a little quicker. :) 

Kendall in the outfield. It was hard to get a good picture of him cause my little camera sucks.

running to first base :) 

Well, have a great day!!!

Golf and such

So this weekend Kendall and I and a few of his buddies went golfing at Fort Gordon's golf course. I didn't really golf, just one hole, but It was really fun to watch and be a part of. Although i can't wait til my friend is here so i'm no longer the only female hanging out with them haha. The course was beautiful though! and It was an gorgeous day, so that helped a lot. Here are some pictures that encompass the day :)

My first time golfing :)

Me and my hubby :)

This cool rainbow cloud.

look at that form! haha.

Overall the day was really fun! I got a little sunburnt. but it was a really good Saturday. I can't wait to see what the next few weeks will bring!

We're going to Fort Hood!

Today we got our orders. We are going to Fort Hood, Texas. We are both really excited about it and really terrified at the same time (at least I am!) :) I feel like although we have 3 months, that we have a lot to do to get there. We have discovered that this is totally a God thing though. Although we wanted Korea (because it counts as a deployment and I can go) this is a good place. We have a family that we are really good friends with that are also stationed there which is a huge blessing. And we found of the deployments won't be as bad as we thought, so that is also good.

So basically, we are moving to Texas. How crazy is that! We wanted to get AWAY from this heat and we got stuck with the south again haha. :) It'll be okay though. We can't wait!

Have a great day!
