Updated Adventures

Wow where have I been? It seems like so many things have been happening at once...

• Steve's last day in the military was yesterday. I have literally been dreaming of this day for the past five years. On to another job that will not make everyone in the house hate life (we've had enough life-hating for one lifetime).
• Speaking of jobs, I now have one.....working for the military. I know, it's extremely ironic, but since I am a civilian, I am hoping working for the military will suck just a little less (we'll see).
• Now that I have a job here in the area, it looks like we won't be moving to Seattle :( I was really looking forward to being closer to my parents, but there really are a lot of advantages to staying in the area, one being that we won't have to uproot our entire lives, and the kids don't have to change doctors/schools. Plus this is Orion's first year of preschool, and it would be a shame to move a month after he starts.
• Preschool starts Sep. 12th. It's safe to say I've been looking a lot at Orion's baby pictures.
• So even though we're staying in the area, we're still looking to move into another house, since this house is only getting smaller and our boys are only getting bigger. Since we can't sell, we're going to rent our house out. Hopefully we can find nice, clean, sane renters.
• School is school.
• Everyone seems to be pregnant. Is it just me?
• My MIL sent us a nice little hate letter about a month ago, criticizing everything from our parenting, to what snobs my family are, to how we never visit. It was pretty brutal, but I can't say I was surprised. Steve sent her a response letter saying not to contact us until she can grow up and stop acting like we're on a reality show. I am a little relived. She was never very nice.

That's all I can think of for now. I'll update with a proper post when my life gets a little more interesting and a lot less hectic.
