Right now we have just under 2 weeks before we leave for Guam. I know it's going to fly by, even though some days we just sit at home and I feel bored. I'm trying to enjoy the time to relax because once we move I know it will be a long time before I get bored again. I think. I honestly have no clue what to expect once we get there. I'm getting sidetracked. 

When we got back from Ohio, the kids and I were here for about 1 1/2 weeks and then we loaded up with Brandon's parents and headed to Orange Beach, AL to meet Brandon for a long weekend. We had an amazing friend that let us rent their condo at the last minute and we had a gorgeous view of the water. I only took one photo. I know. I'm even worse than I used to be about taking photos. Now I only use my phone and I've decided that I'd rather spend time with my family than take pics of them. Thankfully Brandon loves to take photos. I just hate downloading them. And I don't have my little camera card downloading thingy to down load the photos with. So here's what you are getting from me:

After our trip to the beach, the mover (only took one guy) also came and packed up everything else in the house, so we are literally living out of suitcases and borrowed stuff now. Honestly, I really kind of enjoy having very little things in the house. I start to feel cramped and overwhelmed when we have too much stuff. The only down side is, there isn't anything left for the kids to play with so they get bored easily. We borrowed a few things from our grandparents to play with, so that definitely has helped.






 Here's our stuff jammed into the crate. I wasn't sure he was even coming until 8:00 that morning when he called. If I had known I would have been more prepared and vacuum sealed some of the bedding into bags. Oh well.

A week and a half after we got back from the beach,we loaded up again, this time with my parents, to head to Orlando and met Brandon there. Poor guy had spent the last 2 months in the states traveling all over the country for different kinds of training. I don't know how he did it. I would have gone crazy! But he's quite the rock star and hung in there, no matter how frustrating the situation. He was done and after 14 months of being apart he was FINALLY done and we were officially together as a family again. (We were very fortunate in that we were able to see each other for about 8 1/2 weeks totally during that time because most people in our situation only get 2 weeks to visit during 12 months, so I have nothing to complain about.) We had promised the kids that we would take them to Legoland when daddy was back from Korea, but at the time we thought we were moving back to FL so we would have plenty of time to go. Now that we are moving much farther away, we had to cram it into a quick trip. We figured we might as well go to Seaworld while we were down there. This trip I took a few more photos. 

We saw several rainbows on the drive down to Orlando and the next day. They were beautiful!!
