December

What an amazing month this has turned out to be. Michael is home for what was susposed to be his vacation his base he was working at in Al Asad Iraq closed and midwest was sending him to Kabul, Afghanistan. This decision has never rested well on my heart I don't have how much they were paying him it was not worth his life. So he was home on vacation planning to go back on Sunday and we got a call from a job in Fort Hachuka Arizona starting at GS 12, score. He is getting all the stuff done for that its really good pay and in the United States. Well he is also in Tennessee today being interviewed for a job in Jacksonville, FL center airport...awesome job. Of course anyone who knows the FAA knows these jobs take FOREVER so my husband upon completion of his paperwork for this army job will be going to Arizona. I am so excited for him hes an awesome well-roudned controller with pretty much everythign you can do or get in his career except running his own facility they were stupid if they didnt pick him.

School is out for the holidays and when we go back I will be in my final semeseter at USM and I will have my BA with honors in Criminal Justice. Hopfully when I join Michael in AZ I will be able to get on with the FEDS.

Christmas came a little early to the Boones in anticipation of him leaving to go back before Christmas we called Santa and he agreed to bring the kids their presents early. LOL! OMG there was so much stuff. SO MUCH! We spent all day opening boxes it took them 35 min just to unwrap all their gifts. We will be going to FL next week to spend christmas with the family as a family. I am pretty excited about that. Isbella is getting ready to be 1.5 yrs old an OMG she is a handful but she is SO smart really that is unbiased she is so smart. Hannah is over 4 and  half and she is the sweetest, kindest person I know but she is also hell on wheels. It has been an interesting and reflective year. I am so thankful we are out of the military (mostly, temprarily retired LOL!) we don't miss it we don't talk about it we just act like tse 10 yrs don't exist. My husband served 2 tours in Iraq in the military nd served his country honorably but that par of our life seems like forever ago I am so excited for 2012 things can only get better. I am excited about AZ a new chapter, I am excited about this FAA job in Jacksonville. When we walk with the Lord we stay in the light. Many blessing to everyone during their holidays we will be spending ours together as a family.
