Whats New

I don't have any new pictures to put on the blog, but plenty of news.

Abby is doing great! She is 19 months and growing like a weed. She loves to be outside and is very social. She has just started saying OH MY GOSH, and it is so funny. We are down to one nap a day for about an hour and a half. I guess she just has better things to do than sleep. We try to walk to the park after her nap to see the turtles and fish and play on the playground. She is very determined and gets very upset when things do not go her way. She loves to give hugs and kisses all day. She is very into reading! She will read books all day with or without me. I will go into her room and she is on the floor reading a book by herself. We just love her so much and she is so much fun!

I don't have much news. I am going to start going to this mothers program at the church we have started going to during the week. I am hoping to make some neew friends for both abby and myself. I have been so everwhelmed by cleaning, running errands, taking care of abby two cats and a dog. My sweet husband laid down the law last week and hired a cleaing lady to come twice a month to do heavy cleaning for me. I have come to realize all my energy goes into everyone but me and I am so tired and frustrated at the end of the day. I need some time for myself in order to help everyone else out. It is just hard because I feel so guilty as a stay at home mom not doing everything by myself. I am hoping to find what I am looking for out of the church we have started going to. It has been hard moving back here. Everyone here works so it is hard to make friends. I love Abby to death, but when you spend all day with a 19 month old and you don't have anyone your age to talk to it can be very lonely. I am crossing my fingers this paygroup and church will give me some opportunities to make new friends and get out there and do some new things.

Guy is thinking about doind an airforce sponsored fellowship when we get finished here. We were supposed to get out and moved back to jackson in 2009. Guy went on an interview at vanderbilt this past tuesday and had such a great time. He wants to interview at a few more places before he makes up his mind. We will know by the end of the year what and where he is going to go. IF he does the fellowship he will do two years of training and then he will do two years in san antonio, tx paying the airforce back for the funding. He is so excited about this opportunity, so I can't help but be excited for him. Life is all about timing and the opportunities you are given and what you choose to do with them. We were set on Guy taking a job and moving back to jackson and that was that. As soo as we made that decision guy got this info about the fellowship. I was a little upset at first, but came to realize our life maybe meant to go in a different direction for now. I will keep updating on any new news.

Last bit of news Abby and I will be in jackson oct 6th for a week. I am really excited to see everybody!
