A little more info....

Just a few more tidbits of information since the last post was brief....Jim will be taking about 5 weeks of leave which is very exciting. The Army is actually giving him 13 days of free leave because of his year of being deployed. Imagine that! The Army is becoming way to generous! We plan on doing some projects around the house such as painting a few rooms, organizing all the stuff our moms made us take with us so that they could finally get their own houses cleaned out, as well as relaxing and hanging out and enjoying being a family again. Oh, and of course drinking lots of lattes from the awesome new espresso machine Jim bought us. I was spoiled at my mom's house where we had multiple yummy lattes everyday. Now I can have them in Oklahoma too! Thanks Jimmy!

We are taking a trip to the Texas coast with Ani where we have rented a beach house. Of course it won't be warm enough for us to swim, but Ani sure will! There is a huge indoor water park in Galveston that I'm sure we'll hit up with the Samster. That will be fun. So far things have been really good with Jim home. Of course the house blew up with all his stuff once he moved home, but that will get cleaned up and put away in time. (Love you Jim :) )It has been really nice to share parenting duties (finally) and now I'm not completely worn out by Sammie's bed time. See, I'm even writing this post to prove it! On a typical night I would be crashed out on the couch already, but here I am typing away on the computer to share my life story with all who are willing and interested to read it. Wow, so much energy. Now I'm off to do the dishes!
