Well, I fell off the the face of the Earth for a while but I am back! It has been a whirl-wind of fun and adventure since Mark returned home. We went on our vacation to Hawaii and Salt Lake City, which was AWESOME! Our trip started out with a weekend stop in Salt Lake City to visit some close freinds of ours, Bill and Colleen. They have this amazing house in Salt Lake City and we had a fantastic time with them. They took us to this ski resort which has a tram that travels 11,000 ft up this mountain and when we got to the top we were standing in snow. It was incredible. It was like 60 degrees at the bottom and about 30 degrees at the top. After that it was off to Oahu! We had the most amazing time. Zach loved it. The most incredible thing we did was swimming with the sharks! Yes, you read that right, we swam in the ocean with an ass load of sharks. We took this boat about three miles out from the North Shore and then they drop this cage into the water and you climb in and then they throw chum into the water, basically its fish guts, and the sharks swarm around the area. It was the most incredible thing I have seen. Zach had a blast. We werent going to have get in the cage to swim, but the captains of the boat said the youngest person they had get in the cage was 2 years old, so we asked Zach and he wanted to do it, so we all went in together. It was great. We were in Hawaii for two weeks and we relaxed and swam and drank and had so much great family time. By the end of the two weeks we were all ready to get back to our house and enjoy being a family at home again.
We have so much to look forward to over the next few years. Our move to Maryland will be here before we know it and there is so much to do before then, so I am sure time will fly by. The holidays are upon us and you know that those always go by quickly and then it will be the New Year and time to put the house on the market. So exciting, and scary....This is the only place I know, so I am pretty nervous about leaving. And as much as I complain about how little my house is, I love it dearly. It is going to be very had to turn it over to someone else. Lots of good memories in this house....but its time to move on and begin a new chapter in our lives, one that doesn't involve going to Iraq!!!!!
Well, I guess that's it for now. I have things to get done before daddy gets home from work!!
