Thanksgiving was wonderful! We went to a friends house and they must of had about 20 people over, not including the children. It gave me the opportunity to reflect on the things I'm greatful for and I can't even begin to cover the things I'm greatful for. My family, the gospel, my health, a home, food, friends, good neighbors, the military (and the benefits lol), my calling, the list goes on and on.
Brett and I are traveling to Utah with the boys for christmas this year. My brother Daniel is getting married on the 22nd and ALL of Brett's family is going to be at grandma's house near the Salt Lake area. He's so excited that he can hardly stand the wait! I'm so greatful that we get to go see everyone. It's been a long time since he's seen a lot of his family. I'm also so excited that Daniel is getting married!!!! I already know his fiance Sharon is fabulous and I can't wait to meet her! We're leaving this saturday (19th).
As for what is currently going on, Brett has OOD tonight. What does the abbreviation stand for you ask, well I'm not really sure. Although what it means is he's working 24 hours straight and I won't see him until tomorrow around lunch time so I'm trying to find things to do to pass the time. I have retreated to the kitchen with Alex and shut the door and although Kirk doesn't like that very much I am getting as much out of this as possible lol.
Uh oh Alex is crying, audios!

Getting Started
Life is crazy, but I suppose that's to be expected when your hubby works in the military and you have two little boys under the age of 2. Let me just say that I love being a mommy!! It's such a fulfilling roll. I never thought I would be this immersed into it this early in life but I'm so glad things are the way they are now. My life has COMPLETELY changed and I've learned so much from all the changes. I feel so much stronger! I'm so greatful for my new family and I love them so very much!
Kirk at this point in time is 18 months old and is soooo active! He certainly has a mind of his own. He loves his little brother to pieces, but tends to get a little jealous sometimes. Alex is 3 months old and is such an easy baby! He's typically in bed by 8, wakes up at 6:30 to eat and sleeps again until 8. He only cries when he really needs something, otherwise he's fine. He really puts up with Kirks horseplay really well, what a trooper! Brett is the most amazing hubby ever! He never complains with helping out at home. He currently works as an instructor for the Nuclear Power School here in the Charleston area for the navy. What a brainiac! I know he's an amazing teacher (even though he doubts himself way too much).
I am so blessed with a fabulous ward! The people here are so willing and helpful. The bishop and his wife are amazing people as well as the rest of the bishopric and the people I serve with. I currently serve as Second Counsellor in the Primary Presidency and it is quite the experience! I love working with the children; I've learned so much about being responsible and being a better teacher. Primary children are so precious!!
The only downside to my new married life is how much I miss everyone! I miss my family sooo much. I feel so distant from everyone. It's like half of the family went out west and the other half stayed in MD while little old me moved away south with my hubby. Sometimes I feel so disconnected with the rest of the family because they're all so far away and I can't go to see them unless we plan it. I miss the friends I left behind in MD/DE and in Idaho. Please know that I love you all and I think of you often. I hope someday I can be closer to some of you so we can visit more often!
