Sooo ready to go home!!

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!

This is how I felt yesterday. I really am ready to go back to the states now. I'm not sure if it was the trip home that made me feel this way because I really have enjoyed my time in England. Right now I am annoyed with having no counter space, no where to keep the stroller, not enough room for a crib for Noah, hardly any living room space , NO water pressure, the cold weather,... I think that's pretty much it!! We were supposed to leave in March and now its June. I know God has a reason for this. Maybe it was so I could go back to work... or so I could have more time with my wonderful friends here... and I can't really think of any other reasons! lol

I talked to my sister Nikki today and she told me she had the same feelings when both Caleb and Joshua were 6 months old - about wanting to go back to PA to be close to family. So maybe that is why I feel the need to be back in the states... its hard to believe Noah is 6 months, almost 7!!

While I'm talking about home... these are some of the places that I miss and got to experience while I visited!

Coldstone
Something Special
Olive Garden
Lamars donuts - in Phoenix
Target
Costco
Walgreens - for photos
Babies R Us

Did I miss anything Paula? Nikki? :)

Less than 6 months and we will be home... or at least in the states somewhere! I'm sure it will fly by.. especially when I go back to work... in 3 weeks time!!

hmmm... where to begin?

I have obviously been neglecting my blog.. but its better than neglecting my baby!! haha jk... I was in the states for 4 weeks so that is my excuse! :)

This will be a quick update and then I will post a separate blog about some new things Noah is doing and the "schedule" that he's been on even though it was slightly disrupted by our trip!

Picking up from where my last post left off.. Dave passed his PT test - yaaaayyy!! and then he was told he has to test again in 90 days!! booo :( reason being that he failed the first time and then passed the second...?? and if you remember the post it was a vast improvement! he worked so hard!! anyways, he was told that this next test isn't official.. but if he fails it will count as a fail!?!?! sounds official to me!

Continuing with Dave.. he is almost done with ALS - Airman Leadership School. I really hope he can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Graduation is February 8th!!

I have decided to go back to work.. part time! I will be at school from about 9 to 12.30. I figure I will at least try and if I can't take being away from Noah for 4 hours or if he can't cope, I will let the school know! I have two amazing friends here that have offered to watch Noah! :) My friend Nicola (British) will have Noah on Wednesdays. She has little boy that is 5 weeks younger than Noah and every Wednesday we meet up with other 'yummy mummies' so Noah will be able to see his mates every week even though I won't get to!! Dianna (American) is going to have Noah every day except Wednesday! until April... her son (3 1/2 months older than Noah) is having surgery in April so then Nicola will take over! Like I said, I have two amazing friends that God has so graciously blessed me with!! I will only have to work a total of 10 weeks... so I think I can do it!!

We are so glad we were able to spend Christmas with our family and grateful that Jesus kept us safe through our travels! And I am thrilled that I was able to be in AZ with Nikki when she had baby Madeline! :)
