Lots of changes in the world have promted us to be more vigilant about our safety. For this reason I am being criptic and for this reason many things from our blog have been removed.
I also realize as I look at this blog that I have neglected so totally that "I've neglected this blog, SO COMPLETELY"!
I had grand thoughts to update this every day but frankly, I bore myself so why on earth would others want me to bore them while I'm at it LOL. (seriously, laughing out loud at myself here)
My desire is still to post things regularly, however my nature has and probably will keep me from it. I will pledge to do my best and hope for the best :0)

Cross country without him
1 Week and 1 day ago the Brandon, Christian, Megan and I left Tampa for the West. The weeks leading up to our departure were caotic and crammed with a flurry of activity. Not only was I getting ready for the trip but we were also trying to cram in as much activity with our sweet friends Angie, Brandon, Nicole and Blake.
As we left Tampa I couldn't help but be a bit sad that a huge part of our family was missing :0( The whole trip was filled with talk of silly things that Dad would do if he were here. It was really heart warming to have all of us at one time or another pop on some Alan Jackson, just so we could honor John on our trip.
We made it to Utah safely and the boys are attending EFY right now while Megan and I are staying with friends here in Riverton UT. We will be leaving for Boise on Saturday before we head up to John's family reunion in Helena MT.
John is doing well in Fort Hood but the days are beginning to drag on as he awaits their departure from that aweful place. Unfortunatly we have not been able to really see him much as there is no WIFI. Once he gets to Afghanistan we will be able to facetime or skype with him much more freely. Can't wait, although knowing that he is out of the country doesn't really feel all that great.
His days are still filled with training. Some of it is interesting he says but it seems like there is allot that is just mind numbing. Right now he is in classes learning more specifically about what he will be doing while he is over there. Conditions are adequate there in Fort Hood although describing them as great would be an overstatement I believe.
I will try to stay more focused on what is happening so that I don't go so long between posts :0)

These lambs know where sweetness is
Christian took us down to the sheep shed to show us all the bumb lambs were. Megan really enjoyed having them flock to her.

When Megan put her fingers out they ran to her hoping that her little fingers were full of milk.... no such luck!
