Planet Wilder

April is almost over! Wow, time is flying by. But at the same time, it’s feeling oh so sloooooow.

We’re going to Indonesia this August and I know I am very excited. Drew and Emma will go too and this will be their first time that my family will meet them. After three years, Drew is finally ok about going. He’s finally convinced that if something bad is going to happen to us, it will happen anyways, no matter where we’re at. He’s always so protective of us, and that’s very sweet of him, but at the same time I really need to visit my family. So I’m hoping that everything will be alright and we’ll be able to return in one piece and breathing. We already booked the tickets, we have dates and all that wonderful stuff, but haven’t purchased them. Which is really convenient because the base has to give us a thumbs up or down on the trip. This is the part that sucks. So, there’s a chance that we might not be able to go if the base thinks that it’s too dangerous.

It has been very nice the past few weeks. Spring did come at last. Or so it did. Today the weather got cold again and tonight, it “feels like 29F” according to the weather channel. How dreadfully cold it feels to me this late Tuesday night. While I patiently wait for my files to upload to Office Depot’s site, I really feel the need to get up and turn the heat up a tad bit. But when I remember the other two who are fast asleep under their warm blankets, I know I shouldn’t since I hate it when I get too hot in bed and so I shouldn’t do that to them.

Another week or so since the last posting. Nothing new has really happened. Work has been very busy and so has the family life. Between the family, daily chores, and the different new things we’d like to do to the house, we have very little time for other happenings. But, we’re having a wonderfully grand time together, through the ups and downs, we are doing quite well. Till next time…

I just want to show you the dining room that I painted last month. It’s a Sherwin Williams color called watery. I love it and Drew loves it too. Here’s a picture of it:

Here we are in our storm shelter. Not quite comfortable but at least it’s all concrete.

We’re not quite ready for the storms. It’s a bit too early it seems but hey, global warming, right? Anyways, the basement is still not finished and it’s still messy. Also there’s really nothing that’s organized in here. There’s no bed to lay on, bla bla. So while I’m typing this Drew is getting the place more reasonable to stay for the night because it seems like the storm is going to continue on through the night. We had some hail earlier but it was really short. The hail storm was pretty big though.

So, I better publish before we do get something. Laters…

Well, somebody is going to be three this Monday!! Wow, can’t believe our baby isn’t a baby anymore. Time went by very fast!!! To celebrate we visited dad in Vegas. Since he can’t be here for her big day, we thought we’d go visit and celebrate also. Emma had a great time with dad.

They’re best buddies now and they have lots of laughs together. Today Emma said that she’s like daddy… she’s fun. Yeah, that means my 3-year-old knows that mommy is boring and serious. Oh well, somebody needs to be in charge, right?

So Monday we’re going to bring some cupcakes to school. She’ll have a little party with her little friends. Then when daddy comes home, we might have another little one here… it’s not the same… got to have a celebration at home. For her birthday Emma wanted a stuffed horse. She got one in Vegas and she loves it. It’s a puppet horse. She also has a little something from mom that dad will not like… musical instruments :D
