http://joyliza.blogspot.com/2009/03/things-are-slowly-getting-better.html

Updated weekly so keep checking back to read what's going on with us. Friday, March 6, 2009. Things are slowly getting better. We've been in MI 5 days now. I'm feeling less stressed and have a little more energy each day. I'm also so excited that Patrick arrives in the morning. He's a maniac! Who drives 2400 miles in less than 2 days? He left around 11 am Thursday and is due here 5 am Saturday. Crazy huh? This week we met Ryan and Aliza's pediatrician. Did I already mention that on the previous blog?

I wish I had pictures to show how excited Ryan was when we brought him to his room last night after setting up his own bedroom furniture. He was like a little kid at a candy store, or for him, as if he was watching his favorite scene in Shrek. The whole time they were unloading, Aliza wanted to play with everything. She would just yell from the driveway, "MY SLIDE, MY SLIDE! He stared at...

In May, we celebrated both my parents' birthdays. As well as my nephew, Trent's 1st birthday. It's times like these that make living here so nice. We've mi...I was goi...

http://joyliza.blogspot.com/2009/03/its-happening-whether-im-ready-or-not.html

Updated weekly so keep checking back to read what's going on with us. Tuesday, March 3, 2009. It's happening whether I'm ready or not. I definitely have been doing a horrible job of updating this. Sorry about that. I will try to do better especially since many people will be wondering how things are going for us post-military life. I realize though we've done everything we should've and nothing else could've been done. But it's like someone has turned over the hourglass and time is already running out.
