We made it to TN and I didn't lose not one child....or husband! I can't wait to update everyone on the comedy that has been our lives for the last couple of months. But for now, we are still trying to get out of boxes and learn to love the South all over again. Clarksville is awesome because everything you need is right here......well actually I mean every restaurant you need is right here!!
The kids are having a blast, especially because the Howe's (pronounced How's... :) just moved a few houses down from us. If you don't know the Howe's you are missing out! She totally bragged on us on her blog for helping them out while staying with them. She failed to mention that we totally moved in with them for almost 3 weeks! I can't explain it! In all seriousness, not one time did we feel we were unwelcomed. They exemplify charity and I can't thank them enough. (Rosie did get a little tired of us, but I think it had something to do with her Root Beer dependency!)
Strati is at Fort Riley now training and getting the kids adjusted and ready for deployment is challenging, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'll update later on the kids and especially the Phenom that we call Kambry but for now I'll leave with recent quotes from Layla who turned 5 on 5-5 and acts like she is 55.....
(In the car as we are leaving Ft. Huachuca after 6.5 years) "All Isley's crying makes me wanna blow chunks!
Layla: (Crying real tears) "I miss all of my friends in Arizona"
Me: Awwww, like who Layla?
Layla: Ummmm...like....ummmm Peanut (crying harder)
Peanut is Strati's commander's dog!
(After her teacher brings her crying to me in church)
Me: Layla what's wrong?
Layla: I just miss you soooo much...oh wait.....its time for snacks......I'm ready to go back now!

I cannot even tell you how much we miss you people being around AND how I'm trying not to die of jealously that you and the Howe's are neighbors! That's how it was supposed to be up here! I'd picked out your house!!!
I may forgive you.
In all seriousness, we should talk. If I know anything, I know deployments and kids.
Congrats on making it safe and sound. I love Layla's comments. What a fun age! Beautiful house.
We will be moving there in a month. Glad you found a place and that the Howe's are close. We just found a house to buy. It is on Barrywood Circle E (between Tiny Town RD and Ist Airborne Division PKWY just left of Trenton). i am very excited. I am glad I don't have to worry about where we are going to live anymore. I don't know if we will be in the same ward. See you soon.
Congrats on the new home! I can't wait to be a home owner!
I can only imagine the trouble you and the Howe's can cause. It will be so nice to have close friends to get you through the deployment. We are 3/4 of the way done. It seems like an eternity. Make sure you set up for the web cam. It has made the deployment bearable.
Peanut huh! Well we'll just see bout that. Next month Tina I'm comin to mix things up. We are gettin those huge Cubic zirconia rings so we can go out I promise you.:)
Congrats on the house. I'll miss you when I come to visit. I guess we'll have to march right on up to Tennessee, when we come for Christmas.
