Our time here in San Diego is coming to end. We hit the road in 2 days to head to AZ for Thanksgiving and get a little more time in with my family. Then on the 28th we will be starting our 2 day drive up to WA to our new home. I am both excited and nervous at the same time about this move. It has been almost 8 years since I have been more than 5 hours away from my family which makes me very nervous. At the same time I am excited to start a new chapter in our families life and to be settled again. The kids need it more than anything.
Time here in San Diego has been very nice. I have greatly enjoyed being able to spend time with our friends the Mercados. Tonight we did our Christmas gift exchange with them since we will not be able to see them for Christmas. I don't think any of this kids knew what to do with themselves since they got to open presents for to them not reason. They were all so excited, Ayden even got excited and was bouncing up and down. I am going to miss Nicole and the girls so much and hope that we will get to see them again soon. I know this is part of the Navy life but we have come so close to them and their family that sucks to have to say goodbye to people that mean so much to us.
I hope everyone has a good night.. I am off to get some sleep so that I can finish packing up our stuff tomorrow.

No more underways
Today is a great day for us! Dre just got home from his last underway for a long time! I can't tell you how excited I am there these are finally done. We don't have to go long periods time away from each other and no more coming home for a day or two and then leaving again. It will be so nice to have him home and for him to finally be able to spend time with our kids and to actually be able to experience the new things that they are doing. I couldn't be any happier right now! Cutting this short today since he has duty tomorrow but I just had to let everyone know how excited that I am right now!

Craziness
They past week has been crazy. Ayden hasn't been sleeping well lately so my sleep schedule is all meseds up. He has done better the past few nights so hopefully that continues so that I can start getting back on s regular schedule myself. I am very proud to say that my little man is officially a crawler. He still army crawls now and then but he hasn't for the past day or two! It very exciting to get to see him do new things. I can't wait for all this separation time from hubby to be over so that he can finally experience it as well since he missed out on most of it with our daughter.
Let's see.. Halloween was a blast. We all dressed up with the kids which was a ton of fun and quite comical at times. All the little girls were Fairies and Ayden was a skeleton. Dre was urkel.. needless to say he didn't need to do much for it to be the best costume for him. I was a pin-up sailor girl per my hubbies request. Surprisingly my costume turned out better than I thought I would. Nicole was a ladybug and Cesar was Mario. We took the kids trick or treating and they all made out like bandits. After that we came home and ate dinner and let the kids run all the sugar out of their system.
Dre and Cesar left for an underway again on Monday.Thankfully this is the last one and we are all very very anxious for it to be over so that they can finally be home for a while. On Monday, Ayden had his 9 Month checkup and was 20 pounds and almost 30 inches long.. I can't believe how long he is! Then we went to dinner with our friend Amber since she has now left us and is back home in KC with her family. I am going to miss her alot but I do hope that everything goes well for her. Nicole and I have both been off and on sick so this week has been interesting. We have spend most of it at the house with the kids trying to find the motivation to get up and do some laundry and cleaning. Today however, was a different story. We have been cleaning just about all day. Between just cleaning up from the kids and doing laundry.. we didn't get it all finished today so we will be finishing it tomorrow after the errands we need to run in the am.
I can't believe that we are less than a month away from being in our new home. I am very much enjoying the time I have got to spend with my family and friends over the last 2 months but I am more than ready to finally be settled again and get the kids back on a decent everyday schedule. We will be heading to Phoenix in 2 weeks for Thanksgiving and to spend about 10 more days with my family before we start our drive up to WA. We were originally going to have our vehicle shipped up to WA and then fly up but plan have changed and we will now be driving. Hopefully, everything with the drive will go well since we will have the two little ones with us. We are just praying that the weather stays nice for us the drive up.
I am off to finish a few things before I head to bed. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
