So I've been informed that I hadn't blogged in a while ;) .... hehe.  I think life just gets too crazy.  So updates since last blog, we had a great Christmas.  We really didn't do much, which was the plan.  We went to the services at church and then we came home cooked, and we got to skype with all our families and our best friends Ben and Sophie (and our Goddaughter Paityn).  We spoiled each other with gifts this year, since it was our last year having money...lol  We also didn't do much for New Years.  We watched a movie and struggled to stay awake, then we got to hear the fireworks going off.  It was so fun, we started yelling happy New Years.  So far this year we have had pretty good luck.  One of my closest friends who left is now back, she got back today.  We also got some of the best news today.  Cody had turned in his packet for us getting out of the Army back in September, we have been waiting for 6 months now and he finally got news today that they have been approved !!!  We have a copy of the packet and everything is good to go. Now Cody just needs to get his actual orders to get out, which the only thing that was holding that up was the packet getting approved :) WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!  We've been super blessed!  We now have 96 days before we come home!! :)
