Days 2 and 3

We made it through another couple of days. We had a good Sunday and it was pretty uneventful. My Mom did come to church with us Sunday night which was really nice. We miss that. We went to town with her today and went shopping. It was exhausting but a ton of fun! Things are crazy in my life right now but I can always depend on my Mom to be there when I need her to be!

She is coming to stay the night with me and I couldn't be more excited. I will explain later but there are some unforseen things that came up and I know the LORD is in control. Just helps to have a physical person to hug when you need one or a shoulder to cry on! It stinks being an emotional person. Sometimes I wish I could be tough and strong. I guess I can be in my own way. Being emotional isn't all bad.....at least I can be sympathetic. Anyways, just thought I would write a little bit tonight. The evening was crazy and I just need some girl time and rest!

Day 1

We have officially made it through day one. We started out by having some breakfast and going garage saling with Nana. No, I didn't take a single picture all day....too bad! Anyways, we got the boys some lunch at Sams, picked up a few things from Wal-Mart, and headed home. We spent the majority of the time garage saling. It was a lot of fun and we did most of it on Fort Wainwright.

I ended up getting a suitcase and a few new shirts and dresses. The boys got some light sabres for two dollars which was cool......courtesy of Nana. It was nice hanging out with her for such a long time. I miss that. I checked out the base thrift store which was pretty cool. We came home and chilled out since I have had a nasty headache for the past couple of days. I am feeling better now and I am sure will feel great after I get some sleep tonight!!!

Talked to my hubby for a little while and he had already made a new friend. That's easy for Phil if you all haven't noticed. He had made it to his apartment and was enjoying how nice it was. Tomorrow he starts the first week, which is mainly inprocessing and such. Anyways, I thought you should all know what was going on. I shall keep you all updated day by day through this process!!!!

More Pictures....

So, we were taking pictures the other day and again last night before Phil leaves. I wanted to have a nice picture to send to everyone! I guess you get a preview. It is hard to coordinate professional pictures when you don't have time to go get them taken. Anyways, I like the homey ones more anyways...or should I say natural....or should I say the chaotic ones where no one will smile or sit still?! Anyways, here they are! Enjoy!

Pictures!!

Some new pictures from my new camera! I get to keep it while Phil is gone!!!

Military Id's

So, we went to Fort Wainwright today to get our new Military Id's. I don't know why I have to look so hideous every time I get a picture taken I have to carry around with me forever!!! Anyways, it was fun!! The boys had a great time on their first Army base. It was surprisingly the same as the last time I saw it.....oh....about 15 years ago!!

We went to Att after that to get new go phones. It is a better price to get two of them and have unlimited talk, text, and web than to stick with a plan from them. So, we have new numbers which I will mass text to everyone next Thursday! I am using my phone until the billing cycle ends that day. I will give both our numbers out. It will take some getting used to having a new cell phone number after 10 years of the same number! Oh well. Just thought I would post a little update!!!

Shopping!!!

So I went to town with Kluane yesterday to score some good deals at Joann's. I went for some beads and stuff for a Top Secret Project! I ended up finding this book that I am IN LOVE WITH!!!


It has THE CUTEST little girl dresses and leggings in it. I am planning on at some point making a dress for each little niece of mine. Now, I don't know when that will be but the book tells you how to do it all and gives you the paper patterns in the back. I got it on sale with a coupon so it wasn't as expensive as it could've been.  Then again....if I had just bought it from Amazon....I probably would've saved myself some money! I wasn't thinking that way then though!! Go figure!

I'm Back!!

We have internet at the house now. It has been really nice. I am back in touch with everyone. Phil was officially sworn in a couple weeks ago and is now leaving in less than two weeks. He flies out on September 16th. The boys and I are enjoying every minute of him! I am posting some pictures of his swearing in ceremony. It wasn't anything fancy but it is a huge step of commitment to the military. They own us now!

We will be leaving the state December 19th. to head to Washington. We are extremely excited but have lots of preparations that we are making before that gets here. We did get a new camera and I was hoping I would get to keep it but Phil is taking it with him. I am hoping to find something cheap online so that I have something to take pictures with. Anyways, I will try to post pics up until he leaves. So glad to be back on here updating everyone on what's going on in the McBroom household. That way everyone is staying happy!!! Love you all and we appreciate your prayers!
