As we prepare to bring in the New Year we continue to be excited and amazed at what lies ahead. We are looking forward to purchasing our first home, a new car, my return to school, and the opportunities that we might find in Oklahoma. We spend much of our time right now getting ready for the move and figuring out all the things we want to do when we get back. I have applied to five nursing schools and should start finding out in April or May if I am going to get in or not.
Ryan has been enjoying his time off from school this holiday break and even more than that I think that Colin has enjoyed having him home. He loves his brother so much and although he has many ways to annoy him, he really misses him when he is not around.
Matt got his official orders and so we can finally start making the plans and appointments necessary to out process this base. We also got our port call and will be leaving here and arriving in the states on February 16th.
The kids had a good Christmas, although we kept it small this year, I think it was still enjoyable. They ran out of the lego sets that Ryan really wanted more than 2 months ago at the BX and so I know he was a bit disappointed, but I told him he could pick one out when we get to the states so he will have something to play with there.
We aren't doing anything special for the New Year, but we will be taking in a performance of Tops in Blue ( the Air Force's own singers and dancers). This will be our third time seeing them and I am never let down. They always put on a new and great show. If they ever come your way, you should consider going to see them.
I put some random pictures in this time from Christmas, Boy Scouts, and one of our new house. I hope this finds you all happy and well...until next time!
