Yay! A new post!

I've been a very busy girl!

Road trips, packing, unpacking.....too much going on.

Erik is doing well, he left this morning for his first week " in the field". I wont hear from him again until Saturday, but I know he will do great in the field!

He returns to base Saturday, and spends week 10 there. Weeks 11 and 12 are back in the field, and his last week, week 13 is spent preparing for his graduation, on March 5th. I can't wait to see him in his battle dress, in the parade. I am so proud!

Next week we will get his posting orders, and, well, I'm nervous about this. My mom is having major surgery next week, and will be out of work to recouperate for the next 6 months, and I know she really needs me here for that. I'm really afraid that we will get shipped across the country, but, I guess we can't count chickens until they are hatched.

So, the remainder of this week will be spend packing up my clothes, the kids clothes, and making sure our rooms are clean and squared away for us leaving. I'm nervous that I'll forget something here that I know I'll need, but I can only take so much. I have a few days to go back and forth and get things squared away, so I'm sure it will all work in the end!

In the losing weight department...well. I'm doing fantastic! I'm down 45 lbs, and 6 pant sizes...I actually went and bought new jeans the other day, and I freaked out cause they are size 34!!!!! I haven't fit into a size 34 since 2003!!!
