Say Goodbye

After two years, we finally decided to get rid of our dogs. I have been kinda sad about it but we know it's best for both parties. Mostly because we can't take them with us when we travel and the fact I have to keep them locked inside most of the day. When we move this year, our new house won't have a fence either. They never run away anyway but I can't just let them roam on base. At least we found them a good home together out in the country with a family that owns several horses and a few other dogs and they have three kids. The only thing we won't miss is the dog hair but otherwise, I think we had found the perfect dogs. The kids loved them and asked two days after they were gone, "Where's Reese and Rudy?" They cried for 5 or 10 minutes but so far that was the extent of it.

Well, I have three days left before I go solo for a while. Trent will be leaving on Sunday and my sister, who has been visiting, goes back home. I guess it is nothing my friends from medical school or the military haven't already experienced, but I am a little nervous. Trent will be gone most of March, then come home and leave again for most of April. Hopefully during his 2 weeks home, we will make it to Disneyland for our family vacation. Living anywhere else I wouldn't worry as much, but we are literally restricted to our house and a small indoor playground. It is just too cold. Today I think it was -30 with the windchill.
Anyway, here is a cute clip of Amelia. She is becoming quite the showoff.





Brayden and Lane are great with the exception that Lane has colored on nearly every surface of the house. Brayden never went through that phase, but every day I find a new place where Lane as left his mark. I finally found one that is not removable. Pen carved into the entertainment center armour. I don't know what to do with that kid.

I am plugging away each day...busy with JoySchool for Lane and a neighbor boy and I started working again. Two half days a week is all but hopefully it will work out well. I can say finally that I am sick of cold and snow and ready for it to warm up at least enough to go for a walk outside. Now I am starting to realize why everyone in the military tries to get out of coming here. Thank heavens for good friends and a great husband.
