Well I have finally decided to try and start a blog to keep family and friends better updated about what is going on in our lives. I am slowly trying to get off of Facebook because it ends up taking up too much of my time when I have plenty of other things I should be doing. 

To briefly catch some of you up about what is going on in our life...

The last couple of weeks Michael has been gone doing a field exercise...He hopefully should be home in a week or so. Moose and I have been doing a lot of snuggling since he has been gone. We really miss him. 

In the next few months we have some pretty exiting events happening.  In May, I graduate from Nursing school, and in the middle of June Michael gets out of the Army. The last few years have been a challenge with school and with Michael being gone so often doing Army things. We feel like we will be starting a new chapter in our lives, and we are so excited!

We are also in the process of buying a house! It is not built yet, but they will be starting it sometime this month (hopefully), and then it should be done in the end of June. It has been really fun so far to be able to pick colors and different features that we would like in the house.

 That mound of dirt will eventually be our new house.

I know that this isn't the best picture, but I wasn't about to get out in the snow/rain and wind.
