Fall is here

we are busy here in Colorado. I am full time five days a week in class and on our down time we are enjoying the last few weeks of nice weather...the snow is coming...soon.
enjoy the pics from a walk we took and a trip to the zoo.

doing well..

our weekend has been quiet but nice...we cleaned on Saturday and lounged while it rained..today we went to church and Colin had fun in the nursery...
only 2 weeks till school begins!

i got flowers today

What a day..busy with all the house work and chasing a 2 year old...the door bell buzzed and it was a flower delivery for me from Jeremy...Beautiful yellow roses and orange lily's...the note was so sweet..Made my day...

Busy Little Bee

I am the busy little bee this week...i have a very hectic schedule..so if you don't hear from me...i will catch up with you soon.

I register for classes on Wednesday!! YAY

I am also busy trying to get Colin enrolled in day care!

Unpacking...a true nightmare

Unpacking is proving to be a huge nightmare....boxes, boxes and more boxes! The more i open the bigger the mess i face. Will i ever be moved in..i know its not even been a full week yet, but this is so hard.
Aside from the sea of moving boxes we are fine. Colin and I miss Jeremy so much, but this is how it is.....
Things will come together in time...until next time
take care

UPDATE....

Well we have moved from Germany to Colorado and it has been bumpy....a month and a half without our car and furniture made me so grateful for a bed and my Dodge... Things are slowly coming together...we just got our household goods so there are boxes all over the house...it will come together in time!
Colin and I took a mini vacation home to the east coast and spent time with family..it was well needed!
Jeremy is now into his fourth month in Iraq and he is hanging in there! He certainly amazes me...every time i feel like i cant go another second i remember he has to and i buckle down and move forward..he truly motivates me and he probably doesn't even know it...
School start up soon and i am eager to hit the books...I will be attending UCCS here in Colorado...well that seems to be all the news here...
i will try to be more active on here so everyone will be up to date!

One step closer to Colorado

Today i shipped our car...that was a lot of paperwork...but all done now! I am now one step closer to Colorado...tomorrow the house inspector comes to make sure we are good to clear housing in two weeks..there are a few minor things that need repair, but the average things..busted baseboard, loose door knob...and so on! The movers arrive on the 29th then on the 3rd we fly!

Staying Busy

Jeremy has been gone six weeks now. Colin and I are staying busy! Johanna came for a visit last week and we had a wonderful trip! We went to Amsterdam and that was amazing! Now i am busy planning the BIG move! I have found us a home..just signed the lease yesterday...and am eager to start school in Colorado. We fly from Germany to Colorado on June 3rd. Seems like just yesterday i moved to Europe and now i am leaving! I have loved living here!
The car is being shipped on this coming Tuesday and the movers come on the 29th! I have heard from Jeremy here and there and he seems to be doing as well as could be expected! Johanna and i mailed a care package to Jeremy and ten other soldiers. They each got a bag filled with soap, razors, baby wipes, tissues, pens, paper, envelopes, candy, beef jerky and letters to cheer them up! If you would like Jer's address over there to send a letter of support or a package just let me know! Until i type again i will be staying busy.....

Jeremy is gone...for 15 months...

Jeremy is gone...he left almost two weeks ago! Colin and I are keeping busy the best we can! Colin has made a new girlfriend named Annabell...he calls her Bell! They spend some afternoons together!
I got accepted to the University of Colorado! So i am planning our big move back to America! Things are moving slow, but at least they are moving!
More to come!

Happy Anniversary!

Four years ago today Jeremy and I eloped to Virginia Beach in the middle of the night! Looking back I can truly say it was a wild risk, but well worth it!
We have had our share of ups and downs and I am looking forward to the Years to come!
I love you babe and I love US!

The Vaseline War

Last night we stayed up late and it seemed to be a normal start.....Colin in bed (or so we thought) and a movie on... we kicked back! After about twenty minutes of silence from Colin's room i went to check on him....all was not well! There was a silent Vaseline War in progress and I interrupted it! The scene was Vaseline covered walls, toys, sheets, and baby! His beautiful blonde curls now covered in a greasy substance! OMG! How do you handle this...LAUGH....and so i did!
The bath proved to be nothing but water beading up on skin (the grease caused it to bead and stick) and hair that wouldn't wash clean! I quickly googled WAYS TO RINSE OUT VASELINE FROM HAIR. The answer was Baking Soda...which by the way DOES NOT WORK. On to Plan B....Shaving the Head! I felt like wailing into a tear fit as i watched his lovely greased hair fall to the floor...The result...a bald baby...an empty Vaseline Jar...and a lesson learned!
Thus concluded the Vaseline War!
