Drained

So the last week has been pretty busy. Mr.W and I have had some crazy hours at work so by time we get home we are just drained. Plus our poor puppy hasn't been feeling well the last few days. So when we haven't been at work we've been trying to help him feel better.which wasn't so easy because he wasn't eating or drinking on his own. But yesterday he started drinking and today he finally started eating! So we are hoping that he is on the up and up after this weekend.

Friday Me, Mr.W, Lilly, and Ashley all went to the fair with was lots of fun but really exhausting. Lilly loved seeing all the animals except for the chickens and even got to go on some rides with Mr.W and Ashley... I got to the be big fat prego who stands there and holds everybody's stuff while they were on the ride.

Today is our one day off this week. So we are having some much needed family time. Tomorrow me and Baby #2 have our monthly checkup and on Wednesday I work and Mr.W starts all his stuff to get us on the road out of Louisiana.

4 More Years

So yesterday Mr.W made a huge commitment that will change our lives for the next 4 years.

He took his oath and officially re-enlisted.

I'm so proud of him and of the decisions he has made to support our family. We are so lucky for the opportunity we are receiving to go to Italy, seeing as we would probably never get to do something like this if it weren't for the Army. I'm very excited for the years to come and the adventures that come along with it!

Jumpy, Jittery, And Just Plain Nervous

For the past few months I couldn't help but think about how uncertain our future was. Mr.W was getting out of the army, we were having another baby, and no plan on where to go or what to do after the army. we had about 6 months to figure it all out.

Well that problem is solved. Mr.W has decided he wants to re-enlist, which I am absolutely fine with. So at least now I know that Mr.W will have a secure job for the next 4 years. However, what I am still trying to wrap my head around is where we are going in about 5 months...

Italy.

Yep. We will be PCSing to Camp Ederle in Vicenza, Italy.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very excited to be able to go somewhere that we could only dream of going before. But I'm very nervous at the same time. We have NEVER PCSed before let alone moved internationally. So along with the normal stress of moving with a 2 year old and a newborn, we have to worry about transporting our car, our belongings, and ourselves. We have to get passports and visas, new licenses just so we can drive our car, makes sure our pets are up to date on shot and have multiple copies of their records, and so much more. 

Maybe I'm over thinking all of this or maybe I'm in the right to be so nervous about all of this. its just nerve wrecking to know all the things we need to do with only 5 months to do it and no official orders yet.

Someone HELP ME!

Fancy Finds Friday #2

More things I have discovered to be share worthy these past couple of weeks...

1. Military Wife Life

I have found this blog to be funny and really enjoy it. She talks about everything military, its not just branch specific (which I love) so to all the other military spouses out there give it a look you might find it as enjoyable as I do.

2. Halloween Costume

Now I understand that not everybody may find this very funny, but keep in mind that its for HALLOWEEN

and considering that I will be a month away from my due date by then i thought this would be a pretty clever costume.

3. Furby

I had one of these as a kid and recently found out that they are being re-released with some new upgrades that will make them interactive with iPhones and iPads. Only downside is they are running about $50+
