Getting Settled
So we are out of the hotel now and in our new home. We have lived in apts for so long that it is so nice to have so much space, but we have no clue what to do with! LOL Slowly we are starting to hang things up on the walls, starting to make this house feel like a home:) Izaac has started going to the school he will be staying at and he LOVES it. He also rides the bus now! I have to say I was really scared for him at 1st but he seems to be doing great and really loves it:) Jase is loving the fact that his drive every morning is no longer 30mins but now just 10mins:) As for me I am enjoying my free time! We live in a very nice little town, we have met some really great people and we are very glad that this is where we will be for the next few years:)

My oh my!!!
Well it has been 2 yrs and 2months since my last post!!! Well a ton of stuff has happened and I am going to do my best to get you all up to date!! LOL So as part of my News Years Resolution I am going to start keeping this thing up to date:)
So here is an overview-
2009- 2010 Well Iky loved his SureStart class, and started Kindergarden In Sept of 2010 he had a really great teacher Ms.Bleeker she was strict and very organized and he absolutely loved her! In Jan 2010 Jase had his 1st back surgery it went well he was able to get around pretty well and lost a ton of weight the best part was that he was not in so much pain anymore:) But sadly he ended up hurting his back again while doing physical therapy in July and had to have his 2nd back surgery in Nov of 2010. As for me I had one of the best gifts a girl could ask for my MOM came to visit me in Germany for 6 weeks in April- May 2010!! She was here for Mothers day and we went to Paris just us girls and had a blast!!! I was sad when she left but she brought me our family dog Koda and he helped me not feel so home sick:)In Sept 2010 I started working again as a line cook for the Village Grille that was here on post, it was nice to go back to doing what I love:)
2011- Jan 2012 I am going to start with Jase, well after his 2nd back surgery Jase was doing alot better, but he lost the feeling in his left leg and still hasnt gotten the feeling completely back, and may never get it back. He does still suffer from chronic muscle spasms in his back but is has been a good sport cause he says he is not in as much pain as he use to be! So as you know Jase is in the Army and so he is required to do certain physical activites and with his back he was really not able to do them. So Jase had been offered a job doing the work he does in the Army but as a civillian and we at 1st werent sure about it but once we realized that he wasnt going to be able to stay in the Army once his contract was up we decided to take it! So Jase started his Medical Board in June 2011 and we heard back from them in Nov 2011 and so Jasons last day official day as an active duty member will be Jan 27th 2012. In Dec of 2011 Jase got his offical job offer to be a GS9 and so the timing of everything went really good, the best part of it all was that the job offer was for us to stay here in Germany for at least another 3 yrs!!! Well Iky finised Kindergarden and stared 1st grade!He had yet again another great teacher Ms. Laporte!! I cant believe I have a 1st grader now!!! He loves school so much, he has been very blessed to have had some great teachers:) He is finally starting to read and he does great on his spelling test, and he really rocks in math!!! We are very proud of him!! One of the hardest thing he has been dealing with the past couple of months is that we were going to be moving and he was going to have to leave his friends and that he wouldnt make knew ones:( But he started school Jan 23rd 2012 and I am glad to report that he made some friends!!!! Sadly the school he is going to is not the school he will be staying at for long because we are still in the hotel but he really loves school and said that he didnt mind having to switch again, but that he really didnt want to miss to much school!!! I was just going to home school him till we found our new house but he really loves school so much he wanted to go! I have no clue where that comes from cause I never really liked school!! LOL Anyways he did turn 7 in Dec 2011 and he got a DS that he has been asking for since last yr! We had told him he had to learn to read and so he was on a quest to do so, and even though he doesnt read 100% yet he is doing really good and so I gave in a bought it for me.... I mean him;) As for me this past yr I turned the big 30!!!! LOL and for my birthday I was sick as a dog!!!!! But before that I was in heaven, also known as Greece!!!!! Iky and I ( Jase couldnt go) went to Greece for a week with some of my friends and their kidds! We had a great time and hope to go again this year:) While we were there we went to an island that had 400 plants that only grow on that island and I of course was allergic to 1 or more plants on this island! And I of course didnt bring my inhaler or any allergy meds with me, because come on face who thinks they are going to get sick in Heaven!!! Not me!!! So as you know if I dont keep my allergies in controll I get my asthma really bad and so this is what happened, well we had gone to the island on Thurs and I woke up Fri not feeling to good and by that night I felt like crap!! Thank goodness I have great friends cause I am not the nicest person when I an sick!! LOL Well we left greece Sat night and can I tell you traveling sick if you dont already know not the greatest feeling in the world, my ears popped and I couldnt hear for about a week, Jase took me to the hospital and I had to get 4 breathing treatments, had to take steroids for a week just to open my lungs! It was bad I was out of breathe just walking to the bathroom!! Oh what a great birthday gift, oh I forgot to mention my birthday was the day after we got back! Oh well I am doing better now!! Anyways I also have started baking cakes ,it started off being only for the birthadys of my close friends kids, but people really loved them and started asking me to make them for all sorts of different occasions and were even wanting to pay me!!! It was great the 1st few were ok but by the summer time I was kicking butt!! I have a really good friend Chantel that would come over an help me and she is great cause for one she puts up with my crazyness and 2nd I would tell her what I wanted to do and she would help me bring my thoughts together!! In Dec 2012 I had to quit my job since we were going to be moving. So I am currently a Stay at Hotel( we dont have a home yet, lol) Mom:)
Ok so I know my thought are a little crazy and hard to follow but thats me!! So let me say this Jase is out of the Army and has started working! His new job is in Landstuhl Germany so we have moved from Heidelberg Germany to Landstuhl, it is only about an hour away. Right now we are living in a hotel untill we can move into the house we found, and that will be on Feb 15th 2012!!!
So you are all cought up and I am going to do my best to put up pictures when we get to the new house cause everything is packed up for right now including my SM cards with all the pictures.
