My New Life as an Army Wife

So we just returned from Colorado last night/this morning. After being out there for a little over a week. Reality is beginning to set in that in less than 3 weeks Zach will be leaving. Im starting to feel the stress. Wondering if I'm really ready for this.

Having been in the Army for so long, I like to consider myself a strong woman, but when it really comes down to it, I'm beginning to question it.

Our house in JC is next to empty, with all the furniture gone except for the TV's and the DVD shelves. You realize that this is it. What I've been talking about for how long now? I've known for over a year now that this day would come, but where on earth did time go?

We had a great time in Colorado and it was a well needed vacation. We even snuck in a date to the Melting Pot and left the girls at home with my parents.

Well Im sure I'll be posting more soon..........

Ok so I realized tonight that I haven't posted in a bit so I figured I might as well post now.

Currently I have not one but TWO sick kids, which is no fun. Kaylee started coughing Monday and it has progressed to even worse. She had her well baby check up on Tuesday and was given an inhaler then which helps when she will take it. Today, Dad finally called in meds for her and those seem to help already!! Thank goodness for Daddy Doctors! Ally started Coughing yesterday and loosing her voice, today however she has been throwing up or as she says " Puking my guts out!" Hopefully it will all be over soon. Especially seeing Ally's birthday is Tuesday!

About two weeks ago, I decided to branch out on my own business and do special occasion cakes. I have already booked 4 weddings and one birthday cake! So Im very excited abotu this whole business and am currently working on my website, I'll let you know when it is up and running.

With our Kansas Tax returns Zach and I split it, he bought himself a netbook and I bought myself a wii, and thanks to Katie a wii fit!! Im in LOVE with it although it kicks my butt every night! I also got the Biggest Looser game and have been working on doing that work out routine every day while the girls are down for their nap.

We got our federal tax returns today and I bought my new Washer and Dryer. they will be delivered to our Hutch house on Monday!! ALong with the fridge I bought on Craiglist! Im so excited to be able to use them since I haven't had my own washer/dryer in almost a year!

Ally started Girl Scouts about 2 weeks ago, her goal was to sell 500 boxes of cookies. and in 1 week she sold 512 boxes!! So now she is the only girl in her troop that gets to go to a special day at the zoo she is so excited to see "real live lemurs".

Well, I had better get to bed!! I'll post more soon!
