The new place in MO

The front...

The living room (which is a bit squished, hence the loveseat in front of the fireplace. Oh, well)

The other half of the living room, complete with the amazing train table. Best investment EVER!


The kitchen



The entry way




Hunter's room, it's nice and big, and has a huge closet too!






Some pics from Ben's homecoming

Sheesh!

Man, am I bad at this blogging stuff! I didn't even realize that it had been so long since I last posted, but alas, it is now July and time is sure flying! I guess I will start with a quick recap on the time that I completely missed here, and then we can move on to the current events of the Feicht family...
In the middle of May, my sweet husband fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinally got home from Afghanistan. It was a crazy couple of days, but we survived it, and even made the best of it. Of course, his plane landed at Fort Campbell at about 3am, and so Hunter and I had to leave our house at midnight to caravan over to the hangar. He was a trooper, and had a blast watching his daddy's plane land. We were able to spend about 15 minutes with Ben after the welcome home ceremony, and then he had to go get his bags, turn in weapons and all the other things that they have to do when they get home. So we finally were able to all head back to our house at about 5:30am, and we were beat! Hunter did wonderful though, and I couldn't have asked for a better homecoming.
About a month after Ben got home, we left Fort Campbell, KY and headed to Fort Leonard Wood, MO. We had a lot of crazniess getting here, but now we are getting settled in, and I'm just grateful to have had Ben home for this move. Our new place is nice, and I'm excited that for the first time ever, our bedroom furniture actually fits nicely into our room! We are super sad to have actually left Fort Campbell and all of the amazing friends that we had there though, so having a nice place here is bittersweet... We have been trying to find stuff to do here, but let me tell you, there really isn't anything here! So, if you are bored and want to come and visit us, PLEASE DO!!! I promise it will be boring here too, but at least then we can be bored together :)
Ben starts class here on Monday, and his class will finish up in the middle of December. We have no idea where we will be going after the class ends, but we are hoping for somewhere great! I guess we will have to just wait and see. In the meantime, Hunter and I are just going to try to fill our time as best as we can, and hopefully make some new friends, and maybe even do the whole potty training thing.
Ben and I are both working on our Master's degrees now, so that should keep us pretty busy as well, and I'm excited to get started on mine. Classes don't start for me until late in August, I'm taking them through Liberty University's distance learning program in Theological Studies. I have no idea where I want to go with it, but I'm just following orders and seeing what happens!
I guess that is our life in a nutshell for right now. I really want to get better at posting on here, and I promise to try to post some pics really soon!
Love you all!
