Update - Good news and bad news


So, nothing is for sure yet, but I thought I better update everyone on where we're going next. We were told that Hank was being sent to Korea, but we never got the orders to go. Then the other day we were told that he will actually be sent to Fort Huachuca, Arizona to be an instructor for the Human Intelligence Collection school.* Yeah, from Korea to Arizona. That's a big difference. If that is the case then I will be able to go with him and we'll be there till his military term ends in a year and a half. The sad part is that I won't be going to Utah, afterall. But being together for the first year of Jessica's life will be wonderful. I'll keep you updated.



*Because the Army has a bad habit of changing its mind at the last minute, all information is subject to change.

That would be frustrating, but since I'm not in UT, I'm going to vote for hoping he gets stationed in AZ. It's definitely closer to us than CA! Hope it turns out well. Love the pic!

That sounds great! It'll be so nice for him to be there with you and the baby during all those baby "firsts".

That is wonderful that you guys won't be separated. Brooke is going to cry that you aren't coming to Utah to hang out with her and be moms together!

Oh that is so exciting that he might get to stay! I hope that he does for yours and Jessica's sake!

I hear it's fun down there, but my in-laws, from Gillbert, jokingly refer to it as the arm-pit of Arizona. :)

This is Jackie, from THS, by the way.

Your little girl is DARLING!

I am finally blogging about our big trip to Hawaii last month. It was our 3rd anniversary and our dear friends, the Barnums, said we could come visit them anytime we wanted....so we did! Here are a lot of pictures, in no particular order: On the actual day of our anniversary, April 19th, Hank and I left the baby with a sitter and hit the town by ourselves. Since I wasn't a fan of the whole snorkling thing, we took a submarine ride to get a good view of the sea life. Yes, that is a real sea turtle in the real ocean, 100 ft underwater. I snapped this picture out my window. The view of Waikiki from our sub before we went under. The flag at the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. It has been raised to half mast everyday since the memorial was erected. Hank helping raise the flag first thing in the morning. "Give me gum gum, dumb dumb." Us and the Barnums at the Temple. (Chrissy, Chase, Mike, Josh, Hank, Jessica, Danica) Jessica enjoying the all-you-can-drink root bee...

So Sleepy . . .

So, we may be terrible parents, but we thought this was so funny. Jessica wouldn't take an afternoon nap today and by dinnertime she was exhausted. She was so tired that she couldn't even chew her food. The best part was that Hank could not stop laughing at her and it was keeping her awake. This video was much longer, but I cut it down...because watching a baby fall asleep may not be as interesting to you as it was to us.
