Other happenings

I know I've focused on Cory's deployment, but believe it or not, there are other things going on in my life. Here is just a short list of other happenings...
- We are buying a house. We are ready to close, but the seller is not quite there yet. I think, though, we may go ahead and close and rent them the house for a month or so until their house is done! All that is still in the works. But we do have a house and it will be ours SOON!!!
- The girls are in cooking camp this week. They have LOVED it!!!! They've had Italian day, breakfast day, All American day (hamburgers, coke floats, etc) and who knows what they'll be doing for the rest of the week. They've also made some pretty neat crafts (decorated a cutting board, plate and an apron so far). I'm glad they have something fun to do each day!
- The girls are also finishing up their swim lessons this week. They've done 4 weeks total and have learned so much. Who knows, maybe we will have some Olympic swimmers on our hands!!! I love to watch them swim! They look so grown up
- Reese rolled over today!!! He's been a bit slow, but I think its just because he's lazy! He'll be 6 months old next week. Boy, time has flown by. Still no teeth, but buckets of drool.
- I had a job interview yesterday at the Hospital. I have mixed emotions about the position. I know that IF I worked, THIS would be the job I would wanted. But I'm not so sure I want to go back to working all the time right now. I'm torn.
I haven't been offered the job yet, but if I am, then I'll decide what and if I want to commit so much time to something outside the home.
- This weekend we are heading to the lower part of the state to visit my brother and sister-in-law (and Hannah). I've been going back and forth about whether or not I want to go as I am afraid to go to far from home right now (just in case something happens over there), but I think I've decided it will be a good get away.
- Next week the girls will attend their 3rd VBS of the summer. Luckily they've all been different themes.
- The girls will be attending a new school this year. I've got to get them registered!
- I am losing weight. I cut out carbonation all together and have cut way back on caffeine. Also, because my parents are dieting, there is NO junk food in the hosue, allowing me to cut it out too!!! I'm off to a good start to making my 50 lb goal by next year!
- I've also decided to put Reese in a 1/2 day program a couple days a week for my sanity and his social skills. I think I've found a great place and hope to get that going real soon!

See, I told you I had other things going on! I know the last few posts have seemes as though I'm curled up in the bed and not showered for a week, but I'm trying to keep busy! I do miss my love, but I also realize that he wouldn't want me sulking. Thanks for the prayers! I definitely feel them and please keep em coming. Cory moves downrange in the next couple of days! Pray the travel goes safely and the transition is smooth!!!
