Today the countdown is on... 32 days





So Finally after a long treacherous five month wait, my hero, my husband is Phase 5 plus! HOOAH big time! This means more time as a family and less time for him in the barracks! We spent the most amazing weekend we have had since we moved here.

We spent quality time at the park hiking paths through the woods learning about the history and battles fought in the Newport News park. How, in this very park, there were soldiers defending the land they cherished as home! We had an absolute blast discovering, it was like a great adventure with Daddy. "Newport News park is one of the largest municipal parks in the country, this magnificent 8,000 acre-oasis is home to an incredible variety of native wildlife – deer, foxes, otter, raccoon and beaver, to name a few – all found in a natural setting of lush woodlands, flowering meadows and shimmering lakes!"




Sunday, we had our traditional day at York Town Beach.This has been a ritual from the first weekend we moved here. Religiously, every Sunday we pack up and spend the day there. I just adore this Lil battlefield beach placed in the middle of a historic town. Its so peaceful. The kids have sand time and mommy gets to get here tan on. lol Next weekend is fourth of July, and our 4-day, and we have yet to make plans... hmm what to do locally? Any ideas?

The countdown has begun, 32 days until Ft Campbell!! Yay, I am so excited about our life there, yet so overwhelmed. We found out that he is getting deployed in 5 months of us moving there. Praise God for the time we do have together and I will never take another second of us as a family for granted! I cant help but to worrier about all the things to come with this PCS! We have already made arrangements with transportation, and finance... but there are so many more kinks to work out. eg: housing paperwork to be faxed, packing, oh my! Now that my head is spinning and I know that I have to do most of this by myself there is much work to be done. No time to waste. Happy Monday all!
