http://mandbhokeilen.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 7, 2014. We're heading back to Virginia! Bryan's next assignment will be at the Pentagon. We'll be moving this summer, probably in June. We found a great townhouse in Kingstowne, Alexandria to rent that is close to the metro. And we look forward to having guests, so if you are planning a trip to DC, look us up!

The Hokes: Team Hoke Reunited!
http://mandbhokeilen.blogspot.com/2015/11/team-hoke-reunited.html
Thursday, November 12, 2015. The countdown finally came to an end and Bryan is now thankfully, happily, wonderfully home. There was much preparation for the big day, and the weekend before Bryan returned to the U.S., Calvin and I spent many hours making signs to hang at the house and to take with us to the airport. Flags, balloons, signs, and a few little gifts - we were ready! Finally we had news that the plane had landed. Woo hoo! November 12, 2015 at 10:24 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Left ...

The Hokes: January 2014

Tuesday, January 14, 2014. Snow Fun in Missouri. We were fortunate to have a white Christmas again. This year. Living in Alabama, I was worried that our one trip north this winter would not coincide with a winter storm, but we lucked out. It started snowing when we arrived, and stayed cold enough for the snow to not melt until the day before we left. Perfect. Three times we got bundled up and went out to play. We got in some snow shoveling. Tractor riding to help clear off the driveway.

The Hokes: March 2014
http://mandbhokeilen.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 13, 2014. This is stressing us out! It is hard enough to figure out where to live in a new city, finding a house to rent in a safe neighborhood with a good school district for pre-school/kindergarten/grade school when you have many months of notice. But only two months. that will be a scramble. In the mean time, I paint. I have to stay busy or I will go insane. ;-). Check out my creations at:. YouTube channel: Hokeilen Art. Saturday, March 8, 2014. As a kid, my sister, cousins, and I grew...

The Hokes: Time passes slowly while apart
http://mandbhokeilen.blogspot.com/2015/10/time-passes-slowly-while-apart.html
Thursday, October 15, 2015. Time passes slowly while apart. Even though we try to stay busy, time still seems to creep along. Ah, but this waiting is almost over. The extra-super-slow, must have gotten behind the wrong car in the slow lane, are we there yet? Motion of the Earth's orbit around the sun is nearing the end of our 6-month long stretch. Just two weeks to go. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Left to right) Calvin, Bryan, Deuce, Pedro, and Monica. Time passes slowly while apart.

Tuesday, May 5, 2015. Bryan has arrived in Afghanistan. Barchan sand dunes and the view out of his window on approach to Al Udeid, Qatar. Bryan then spent 3 days at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar while waiting for a flight to Afghanistan. This gave him time to adjust to the time (7 hours ahead at that point), drink a few last beers (no alcohol in Afghanistan), and catch us up on his journey. We were able to skype every day while he was in Qatar, which was awesome! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
