Happenings

So I know it has been quite a while since my last entry, but things have been rather hectic. Now it's 10:30 at night and my husband is gone and my baby is sleeping so I have a moment to myself and I'm only kidding myself if I actually try to go to sleep right now... So I might as well update my bloggity blog :-)

I am currently in Walker, MN staying at my parents house with Elijah. Chris is in Arkansas at Sniper School for not one, not two, not three, but FOUR weeks... So far it has been four days and I miss him terribly! Especially when I have a moment to myself and can actually think about how much I miss him... He's been able to call every day, which is fantastic! Much better than in Iraq when I never knew for sure when I would hear from him. Plus he's in the United States which is kind of great as well :-P So it sounds like he's having a good time so far. They are working him hard, but I'm sure it's only going to get harder. He is going to get a major butt whooping while he's down there, it'll be interesting to see how the phone calls progress over the weeks...

So Elijah and I are staying in Walker and so far we have been keeping busy. My sister just moved into a townhouse in town so we've been "helping" (as much help as I can be when I have to watch every move Elijah makes) her with that. My parents are remodeling some rooms in their house so it has been busy around here as well. I had to take my car into the shop today because although my check engine light has been on for as long as I can remember (I just ignore it), it started flashing at me when I was driving the other day. It's one thing for the light to be on, but flashing? Probably not good... So I had it checked out and there's quite a bit wrong with the car, but nothing that's going to make it explode anytime soon, so I'm content with leaving it as-is. I also got an oil change, because I needed one, I figure that's a good enough reason. It was such a blessing though, over the phone they said they were going to charge me for both the oil change and for checking the check engine light, but when I got the bill it was just for the oil change - sweet! Thank you Lord for that little bonus!

Well I was going to write more but I can't stop scratching my hands so I gotta put something on them to ease the pain and itching. Going to see a dermatologist June 29th - really hope he can fix me!

I'll try to update more often with hopefully some more exciting things, like all the fun stuff Elijah does now. Coming soon...
