A LOOONG OVER DUE UPDATE

So its been months since I have been on here and today, I told myself I need to get on here more often again. I actually miss blogging. So my last post was about me starting college again. Yes I am still in College going to Virginia College for Medical Assisting/ Medical Office Management and my Associates in Science. I am in my 2nd term and its going GREAT. I made the deans list last term getting all A's in my classes. So far I love it! This term is a little harder, but I assumed each term will be a little more difficult. My family has came to adjust with my schedule. My hubby had to adjust to having the girls with him at night, but they are doing pretty well. Mondays and Wednesdays I only have one class and am home in time to tuck my babies in bed. Tues and Thursday I have 2 classes and I get home pretty late, so its pretty quiet then. But thats when I study the most. I think my girls understand a little more about why I am going. They ask alot of questions when they see me dressed up in my scrubs...lol and sometimes ask me " Mom, did you do your homework?" LOL too funny! I miss them when I am at class, but I know that they are ok with their daddy at home. Also what gets me through is that I know it will pay off in the end. I am learning so much already. Another reason I love going, is that I am a stay home mom and love spending time with my kids, but college gives me adult talk time. All you stay home moms, know what I mean. =)

So let me give a quick update on our 2009 Holidays.

Well to make a long story short, I took my finals and that night we headed out to Missouri. It was a long trip, but with dual dvd players for the girls, it kept them busy and they slept most of the way. We arrived at my mom and dads, and it was so weird seeing everyone. What I mean by weird is that it was almost 2 years since we seen family in person, cause my hubby was deployed the year before. But it was GREAT to see them. We got to pick up my step daughters and they stayed with us most of the time we were there. Had a GREAT Christmas with our families. Its always so hecktic cause everyone wants to see us when were home and theres never enough time. But our girls had a good time. They got to see alittle snow while were there and even tried to sled. I was hoping for more snow, so my little ones could actually get to experience it. Santa came to my moms on Christmas morning and the girls must have been good, cause they got plenty of presents. So thats about sums it up. We miss my step daughters so much. But Jeremy calls them pretty often and we all get to talk to them. So a update on my girls now...

Christa- She is doing GREAT in school. She played soccer for the first time last fall. She absolutely loved it and wants to play again. I can't believe my first born is 7 and in second grade already. She keeps me on my toes and is very helpful around the house. She is so good with her little sisters. They are always looking up her.

Madisyn- Well she started Pre-K last fall and is doing GREAT as well. She is learning alot and just keeps getting smarter everyday. She is our giggly girl at home. She loves to dance and laugh.
She talks her age and loves to draw. She likes dressing up and acting out certain characters. She is our picky eater out of the family. She is very social and gets along with just about anyone.

Alexa- Our Baby is 3 going on 4 this year =( Its makes me sad that our last baby is no baby anymore. She is home with me during the day and we do alot of learning activities and she can now write "Al" for the beginning of her name. She likes singing and dancing at home, but you meet her in person she is shy. She is very observant of people, but loving in so many ways. She likes riding her bike, drawing smiley faces, painting, watching movies, and dressing up too.

As for my hubby, he is doing good. He made Petty Office 2nd class in 2009 and we are so very proud of him. He works at Jax and we remain at Mayport housing until they call and tell us that we have a new house over on the NAS JAX. They have been remodeling. I am proud of my hubby for all his hard work. He has rebuilt the motor in my car and fixed things on our cars and at home. Saving us lots of money. We have our ups and downs, but ALWAYS come together in the end.
Well I think this is a good start to my blogging again. I will TRY my best to blog more. Take Care =)
