We are finally settling in a bit, no longer living in temp housing. We decided to rent an apartment rather than a house as we wanted to have the pool for the summer. We will only be here til Ben leaves in October so its ok for a short time frame. Most of our belongings are still in military storage. We just got out the necessities to live for a few months.
Ben is enjoying his job, he is a natural leader so he is really taking to being one of the higher ranking soldiers here. He is known as the NCO who "gets stuff done". We have heard many rumors about where he will be serving and when they will be leaving....we are trying not to get too caught up in it. It has changed so often we figure we will believe it once he has orders in hand.
The kids are doing well. School starts really early here (mid August) so they are actually looking forward to school starting so they can make more friends. Meanwhile we have been regulars at the library story time and free summer movies. They all completed the summer reading program and earned a free kids meal at Applebees and a free ice cream.
We love and miss you all soooo much!

Hi Jeannie! It was good to hear from you. Thanks for the advice. Your son sounds just like Andrew. He had been holding it for days and we had our 1st successful poop in the potty last night and boy did we celebrate! I just hope he can do it again. Hope you guys are doing well. Keep in touch.
Okay, So what's going to happen when Ben leaves. I guess I didn't realize that you were not staying there. SO what's your plans? You gotta feel me in. Life is great here. Okay we are still trying to adjust. The kids had their first overnight visit with Brendan and I went okay. Mackenzie was sure glad to get back to me. She's a little on the clingy side these days. I will post all about our weekend adventure later. love ya sista, jess
I'm so glad to hear that you guys are settling in. Give the kids a big hug from us. We miss you guys.
And where ya'll going once Ben leaves??? Any chance your coming back our way????
Miss ya'll much!
You military families are AMAZING to me. This past year has brought so many to our ward. It makes me so sad when your families come & go. When you're not in the military you are not accustomed to the loss of such great people so often. I cannot say enough about all of you.
