bad blogger

I really thought that I would be a pretty good blogger and keep things up to date...however, the past few weeks I have failed! We have been SO busy! Anytime we are in Georgia, we are busy visiting family and friends. This past week we were able to go to Colorado to visit our good friends Courtenay and Jason Atwell. What a great trip!!
Today Chad and I (and Mya) drove back to Alabama for his last appointment with his surgeon tomorrow morning. Hopefully he will say that all is well and that Chad can start Physical Therapy in New York next week. wow.. next week!!
Speaking of moving... We decided today that Chad is going to go up to New York and the girls and I will follow as soon as some kind of housing situation is worked out. We just agreed that keeping the girls in a stable environment for a little while longer is the best thing. Hopefully Chad can find us a place to live quickly so we can start getting settled in New York before he leaves for Colorado (high altitude training) in May. If he can't find housing before then, it just seems silly for the girls and I to be sitting in a hotel room alone in New York for 3 weeks while he's training. Not ideal, but just trying to make the best of a tough situation!

I will try catch up on blogging, pictures and travel soon! But for now, here is a picture of us at Rocky Mountain National Park.

Strength

Blogs are interesting.  Some share decorating ideas, some political philosophy, some day to day happenings and many more pictures of family and friends.  We keep everyone updated on the fun events and happy occasions of our everyday lives.  While some people take it a bit to far, I think most of us are not always so quick to share those not so happy moments though...  The moments that we fail completely as a parent.  The moments that we are to busy to stop and help.  The moments we sit in silence and wonder why.  The moments when life is just flat out hard.  In a few weeks I will watch my husband go off to war.   In a few weeks I will have to help a little 3 year old mind grasp how long a year is and how far away daddy will be.   I just found out this morning that my aunt passed away.   Next week the list of names I know on headstones at Arlington will get a little bit longer.  I ache for my friends whose husbands won'...

Change of Command

Here are a few pictures from Chad's Change of Command Ceremony. I hope to get more pictures from the official photographer that day. I didn't get any pictures of myself and my White House Black Market dress! :) The Food... Chad and I aren't huge fans of cake, so we got a cookie cake instead from a local bakery. I wish I had taken a picture of the entire table, but I only at time for a few pictures. Everyone was pretty impressed with the spread. My mom taught me how to prepare lots and lots of food and how to make it tasty! Addison kept snagging food before the ceremony started! C-Troop Taking Command! So proud of Chad! We look forward to serving with the Outcast family!

Lake Placid

Over Columbus Day, we decided to take advantage of the time for one more family trip before the deployment. Lake Placid has been on our list of places we wanted to go and we chose to wait until the fall to enjoy seeing all the leaves changing in the Adirondacks. The leaves were a little past peak, but it was still beautiful.  To understand how much we enjoyed this trip, you have to understand how much we enjoy the Olympics.  Let's just say we are Olympic fanatics...the Atwells would understand. :)  On our way in to town, we stopped had lunch at a recommended BBQ place. That afternoon, we only had time to go to one venue before they closed for the day.  If you don't know the history, Lake Placid hosted the Winter Olympics in 1932 and 1980 and is still a site for Olympic training.  First stop - Bobsled, Combination Track   You can pay to ride down the 1932 bobsled course.  It looked fun! After the Bobsled track, we headed back to the hotel and ...
