End of October

Well October what a long 31 days. Aye! One month less to our future goals. Schools almost over 1 month of this semester left, one semester to go! YEAH! Lots of big things happening. The FAA has referred Michael for jobs throughout Florida and throughout North Carolina both places we would love to be NC more than FL as long as it isn't that crap hole SJAFB, losers (sorry, not our amazing friends there we love you). Until then hes been over there like 80 days and I am missing him every minute of every second of everyday, I just want him to be home with me we are never apart so this sucks. His base will be closing December 3rd and we are unsure weather we want to continue on over in Afganistan or not, by then we should hopefully have some answers from the FAA, I am unfortunatly stuck in Mississippi until May the 12th for grauduation.

The kids are doing amazing. Hannah is 4.5 now and so smart. Shes well past where she should be for Kindergarten next year. She loves singing and she loves her ballet/tap. Shes an amazing child when she isn't driving me crazy with her attitude she is all girl and so much like her momma LOL Her dance instructor said she is so observant. Duh shes gonna be brilliant like me also! Isabella is 17 months old now. My baby! She is SO smart I cannot put it into words she understands everyting she is speaking so well. Isabella is going to be my wild child. It is amazing how much they love each other. THere is such a bond between them. I love to hear Hannah whispering things to her and Isabella giggling. Amazing children I am so blessed.

Life is so busy here I am home with the little terrors all morning then I leave go to school till 945 at night if I get out early I go to the gym and run. I just bought a new running stroller for the kids are are taking it on its maiden voyage tomorrow. I am excited but I think they are more excited. I am hoping to jog a lot of the 4 miles. we shall see my legs and arms are so tired from the weights the other night i think monday I will start back to Insanity it really provides the best results in a short amount of time. But they are draining exercises. I am just pleased with the 50 lb weight loss but it just leaves me craving more, it obsesses me. literally!

Monday is trick-or-treating and I cant wait to take the kids I am sad Michael will miss it but hes with us in heart. WE are so looking forward to November. We have Michaels 30th bday on Thanksgiving my old man, my moms birthday, my brothers birthday. Whew! lots to come and of course Thanksgiving. I have so much to be thankful for. Well I have to get off here life doesn't wait for me to blog. Kids are all tucked into bed, its crazy cold here BRRR...i have my fireplace going and my jammies on. I think I may even make apple cider. Fall is here baby.

Awesome

The memo may not have been gotten my kids are amazing, awesome, wonderful, smart, beautiful! Just saying.

Long October

I love the smell of cinnamon apple candles and pumpkin spice. Fall is a particularly warm time of the year even if the weather outside has the first inclination of cool air and falling leaves. There has always been something about Fall that brings that chestnuts roasting on an open fire feeling to our hearts and homes. Baking starts, decorations begin, arts and crafts, festivals, and fairs. Yes indeed fall is in the air. It has come to the Boone house, it seems a little less cozy and warm without my husband here to enjoy it with me but all the same blue jeans for the kids knit hats and jackets have been bought in anticipation of the cooler weather ahead. Michael has been gone for over 60 days now, and just 68 days until he comes home for Christmas vacation I cannot wait to see that man of mine. I miss him dearly. This is for the birds. However, the kids and I are doing well and him being gone has only made me thinner lol! I am now down 55 lbs (depending on how much coffee I drink in one day). I am enjoying getting back to pre-hannah weight but idealisticly i would like to loose about 40 more lbs. UGH! seems like it will never end. WE just passed midterms for college, and that mans 1.5 semesters left till graudation on May 12th. May that is going to be one buy month. Hannah will be 5 in April, Isabella will be 2 in May, I graudate in May, Hannah has her first ballet/tap revue in May, and Maria will be having baby #2 so in May I will be an Auntie again...I told her I would come up for a few weeks with the kids and help out. WOW! If I make it thru May we will be doing good. I do not anticipate Michael staying in the desert past graduation which will be nice. The money is great but we need him here. I am hoping he only stays until I graduate. Thats about all thats going on. Kids flew for the first time this month to NC and back that was interesting. We are preparing for pumpkins and costumes. Feeling like Fall and I may bake some apple bread. YUM!
