Hunter showing off the leaf he found in the yard
Hunter playing soccer around the big tree in the yardSo, I was (politely) told today that I probably should update my blog. And this girl knows how to take a hint, so here it is, the updated blog :)
Hunter and I are now at Fort Campbell, KY and anxiously awaiting Ben's arrival back home with us! We moved here about a week ago and it was crazy, but everything did go quite well and we are getting all settled into our house here on base. We had never lived on an Army base before so this was a whole new adventure for us, but I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised at our new home. It's a duplex with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a nice big living room, dining room and even a laundry room (praise God!) There are so many closets for storing all our junk, I mean stuff, in and that is a blessing as well. The very best part of the house is the wonderful fenced in back yard that Hunter just adores playing in. It's by no means large, but it is perfect for him to run in and that makes me one happy mommy! Ben is most excited about the two car garage that he can play with when he gets back. I'm just happy to have a nice place to live while we are waiting.
So far we have been quite busy and already have a membership to Nashville Zoo and have gone twice since we moved in. It's already spring here and I love that, I have had enough snow! I love snow, don't get me wrong, but I am ready for some nice warm weather. Hopefully we can keep busy and help the time pass quickly.
In case you are wondering where in the world Ben has been (figuratively, of course) he hasn't had internet in his room for the past couple months and so he can't access any websites outside of the "approved" network, which of course is basically no websites. Right now he can't even get into his yahoo email, so he's kind of frustrated with that. He's still working hard on his masters degree and will have 5 classes completed by the end of April. I'm so happy he has had the opportunity to start working on this, he has enjoyed it so far.
Well, not too much else exciting here I suppose. I'm hoping Ben will be back in about 6 weeks or so, but that's just speculation, I'm not totally sure when he will be coming back yet. Actually, I won't really know until he gets here, but that's just the Army for you! When he gets back he has 10 days of reintegration stuff to do, then he will be taking leave for a while and we are going to go to Gatlinburg for a little time in that period, and then he will have another 10 days of clearing Fort Campbell before we head to Fort Leonard Wood sometime around the end of June or beginning of July.
I suppose that is enough info for right now! I'll try to get some more pictures posted soon!
Love, em
