In February we celebrated Cole's birthday at the Great Wolf Lodge in KC, KS. It was a blast - four boys, a water park, arcade center, shops, ice cream... I'm suddenly picturing the the place all the bad little boys went in Pinocchio.
I tried to resist actually playing at the water park myself. I told myself no, I was going to show restraint and just sit there and watch the boys play. That lasted about a half hour before those big water slides started tempting my inner child. I enjoyed them as much as the boys, and then the next day got to enjoy them more when Bill was able to join us and I finally got a buddy to go down the bigger slides as a double.
It was a great experience, and a lot of fun. It's a birthday I don't think any of us will soon forget.

Welcome!
Hello, everyone! After I managed to block myself from my own blog, I have set up a new one that is as good if not better than the last. So much has happened that I just have to share:
1. Bill got accepted to OWT (Operation Warrior Trainer) and we are moving to WA where he will be stationed at Fort Lewis for two years.
2. Cole isn't coming with us, sadly, but he'll be out frequently for visits and we already can't wait to show him around.
3. We have awesome friends who are renting us their home, so we finally get to escape the apartment setting PLUS it puts Bill just minutes from post.
4. We are lucky enough to have two couples from the KS Nat'l Guard moving with us - they were accepted to the same program! The guys are close as they all served together in this last deployment to Iraq together. One was Bill's driver, and the other his gunner.
Bear with me while it takes a little bit of time to start adding pictures and what-not to the blog. My days at work seem to be getting longer (this is where I remind myself how grateful I am for a job at all in this economy), and packing doesn't help with the free time, but I promise to update regularly. As always, we hope everyone is doing well and we send all our love!
