Hi friends!
We just finished a wild week and walked into another :) Life is good though ! We celebrated Loudens 3rd Birthday the past weekend. Such a fun party. We had a jump house, lots of kids, BBQ, snowcones, and Toy Story everything! Plus, a pinata which was by far the most difficult pinata to bust, ever! However, I will say this ... I would NOT want to get stuck in an ally with a group of Ranger kids! Holy butt-kickers! LOL. This was the first big birthday party Louden has been able to have with his dad so that was really special as well. I was so happy that the majority of the people we love and spend our lives with could make it. I could tell he felt so special and loved. His little smile while singing Happy Birthday was precious. Pics to follow soon hopefully. Such an amazing day.
On Sunday I helped host a baby shower for one of the greatest ladies I've ever know. We have gotten really close over the past year but now it feels like we've been friends for a lifetime. I love friendships like that because they are the ones you really hold onto for the rest of your life. I have a group of girlfriends here in Columbus that I never would have met had we not been in the Army so when anyone ask "why do you choose the military life, isn't it hard, don't you want to get out?" My reply is always 2 things-- 1) Someones got to do it and 2) I never would meet all the wonderful people in my life had it not been for the military!
This weekend is the 4th of July weekend. We have lots of fun planned and plenty of work to do. We are still working on getting everything in order for the move. After this weekend the real craziness will begin. We will be bouncing around from the 13th of July until we finally settle in our new house in Singleton. Lots of transitions! I'm beginning to panic thinking about the boys and what all this transition will do but prayers and positive thinking will get us through, they always do :) However, if you have any tips or advice let me know!!!
Have a Wonderful week!!!

I'm terrible....
Clearly I am terrible at Blogging. However, I have figured it out... I am on the computer so much with school and for moving issues and by the time I'm done I want nothing to do with the computer :) BUT! I am almost done with school and then I promise... I will dedicate my life to Blogging.
Anyway, I would like to quickly announce that I am an Auntie!! My brother-in-law and his sweet girlfriend just had a little boy, Kean, a couple weeks go. Very exciting!!! He is so sweet and I can't wait to get my hand on him again next month.
We are still working on all of the paperwork and going to appointments in preparation for Australia. We are also finishing up the puppies import permits. They passed their RNATT testing and now we wait to receive our permits. Very exciting..and stressful. The packers are coming July 13th and then picking up our packed goods July 14th. We vacate our house at Ft. Benning on the 15th. At that point I will be headed to N.Y. with the boys and Mike will be staying in the old house until he ties up all loose ends :)
Yes ..that's right I said he will be staying in the old house. We had to terminate the contract on the house. There were some issues that came up in underwriting that the buyers had to fix and there was no guarantee that even after the issues were resolved they would qualify for a new loan. We did not come to our decision easily but we had to do what was best considering the market is terrible right now. It looks like come August we will be renting our house out.
Right now it is just a matter of getting things finished up and organized. After that we will have a small break before we leave and then the real craziness starts. I'm definitely getting anxious but I'm trying to remain positive :) Have an awesome week!!!
