Mike ended up getting sick for almost two weeks, it was some kind of weird cold, and of course we had our Financial Peace University class. Which by the way, we are proud graduates of!! We graduated this past Sunday night! Graduating does not mean you are past all the baby steps, in fact we are far from it but we completed every course and are VERY motivated to get everything paid off! Every time we see our Lily it makes us want our own babies even more! :)
We are so excited about the Holidays! (well I am) We are going to his mom's for Thanksgiving and back home to good ole' T-Roy for Christmas! BUT as for Black Friday Shopping Lexi and I are hitting the the stores! Mike first told me HECK to the NO so I thought I had to go by myself but Lexi is going to come back with us after Thanksgiving and we are going to have a girls day of shopping!! I can't believe she is 14 almost 15, makes me feel so old, but both her and Austin are growing up too fast - Austin is now my height and its weird but I am proud of both of them!
Mike's dad is stationed in Germany right now so we won't get to see them for the Holidays, but maybe we can soon! We cannot wait to visit them WAY over there and getting to see his step-siblings! As for Christmas, Mike and I are trying to make Christmas list for ourselves, its hard to think of things that I want! At this point of the year I am thinking of everyone else's presents!! Last year Mike and I did not do Christmas for each other, we just decided to buy a Wii, which I have probably used maybe 10 times and it sits in the computer room - and we had nothing to open on Christmas morning, we will NEVER do that again, I hated it! SO things are going to be different this year and I cant wait!
One more thing and I am done rambling. Mike is thinking about joining the Army - this is a big well HUGE decision. However, I 150% support my husband in anything he does! He grew up with the Army life and loved it, his dad has been a pilot for 25 years (I think) so Mike has a taste of what Army life would be like, me on the other hand, well I just watch the show "Army Wives". He wants to join and become a pilot, the Army has SO SO many benefits, i.e Health Insurance for one thing, and I could go back to school to be a nurse, like I dream about DAILY and maybe even stay at home some. AND most importantly my husband would have a job that he loves and that he can actually show his true talents with! He is so smart and can do SO much, but when you have bills and a life you have do what is best. We have always wanted to travel (I would like to visit Sitka, Alaska) and this would be the perfect opportunity. SO please keep us in your prayers as our lives may be changing to a crazy path but we are ready! I promise to keep everyone posted more often! I am not off to fold laundry - oh what fun!! :)
