Catch Up Randoms

These past few weeks have been a whirlwind! How is it that next weekend starts the month of February?!?! Seriously... time is just flying these days. And I see time not stopping any time soon. Life is just busy these days; and some days I love it and some days I want to freeze time. There are plenty of weeks where we have just a few activities that week and other weeks where it seems there is something scheduled every day that week. Its the circle of life when you have five people in the house all with their own schedules and activities. Nonetheless, here is what we've been up to the past few weeks.

• We successfully moved into our new house! And its absolute bliss :) I am loving all the space... who knew 2000+ square feet is what this family needed. We have worked our fannies off the past two weeks to get everything unpacked, put in its place and settled. And it paid off.. it was worth the long nights and the days of no sitting because our house feels like home and every room is organized and done. I can't say it enough how nice it is to have room.. plenty of space to spread out. I tell Brandon all the time we finally have a "grown up" home. We have the house to entertain in and have people over. It just feels good... it feels right for us. And it will definitely make the next two years here seem so much better knowing that we have a home that is perfect for us!

• My bible study group I am a part of known as PWOC (Protestant Women of the Chapel) kicked off its Spring Semester last week. I am leading/teaching a bible study this semester and I am so excited! This is the second bible study that I have led and I love it. I have a great Co Teacher as my right hand lady and I am just very excited to see what God has in store for all of this semester. I truly love this organization and have loved being a part of it since we were at Fort Irwin back in 2007. Its an amazing ministry and I am so happy to be a part of a great group here in AZ. 

• Brandon graduated the MI Captain's Career Course yesterday. What a huge accomplishment for him!!! He graduated #5 in the class and even made a perfect score on the final exam :) I knew he was a smart man! So proud of him!! Can't believe six months have flown by that fast! We are ready for a break though and he will have a few weeks off between assignments. Looking forward to the next chapter here!! 

So that about sums it up! The next few weeks are going to be equally exciting as well. P turns 7 next week and Henry's birthday is not too far off either. So many fun days ahead for this family :)
