Still Alive...

Yes, we are still alive :)

So much has happened lately that I really don't even know where to start. The beginning of November the boys and I moved back to California. Yes, back to California. When we moved back this summer, we had big hopes of buying a house and so forth, but we really all just needed to be a family, together, first and foremost. So that is where we are.

We moved into a little apartment downtown while we waited for a house to open in base housing. It. was. tiny. But honestly, the best thing ever! I loved watching movies and cuddling with all of my boys every night. It made my heart full. The boys missed their dad so much. I missed my husband so much. It was kinda just perfect.

One dislike... no full kitchen. I know, I know. I love to cook. So not having an oven was kind of tragic. We ate more fast food than I ever have in my whole life. Ugh. Needless to say, I am over that.

In December, Robert had his knee surgery. Almost 8 weeks later, he is still having trouble. They extended his leave time, which was nice. He has been able to stay home and keep the boys since I found a new job!!

I have been so lucky with the jobs I have had. I am now working for a property management company that is a perfect fit for me.

We did get a house on base! We moved in and are in the process of setting everything up.

Also, we have a new addition to the family! Our new Jack Russell puppy, Toby. We are in love! The boys are having so much fun with him. He is definitely my boy though. He runs to me if he gets in trouble. ;) Robert loves him too. Every night, Toby will hop into his lap and take a little nap. So cute!

Here are some pictures to catch you up on...
