My bad.
Pat came home, I got busy.. Aiden started crawling and eating things he wasn't supposed to...aaaand apparently that's all I needed to neglect my blog, whoops.
I'll sum up our summer...
May - Pat came home (yay!) Pat went on duty (boo!) Pat went on duty again..and again..and again..
June - Aiden turned 8 months old, Pat had more duty..and we went home on leave! :)
July- We were home for most of July (yay!) We were home for a couple of weeks and it was really nice to see family and friends... I wish I could have packed my niece and nephew in a box and brought them home...thats the biggest thing I hate about being so far away... my friends and family know us, and are able to pick up phones...Im scared Noah and Kendall aren't going to remember us, mainly Kendall.. (me specifically, im being selfish) and I love those little boogers.
Arin got married :) I was so honored to be with her on her big day :) she looked gorgeous as always, and I think I cried every 4 minutes because I'm emotional. and I had the chance to "attend something" with my husband (rare)
side note: We left hawaii on June 30th, got to Virginia on July 1st and Arin's wedding was July 2nd.... aaand they lost my luggage...we brought 2 suitcases, 1 seabag a carseat and stroller halfway across the world and they lose the 1 piece of luggage that had my bridesmaid dress (awesome) soo I totally freaked out in the airport (obviously) and thankfully Patrick was there to calm me down. (props to Sarah for offering to drive to woodbride to get my another dress...thats 4 hours away) THANKFULLY, I got my suitcase at 10pm that night and her wedding was 11 am the next morning, whew.
The Tollesons came to salem! :) Which is always a good time...Patrick and Josh hadn't seen eachother in over a year and change...and these two are hilarious together, hence the... "always a good time" and I got to see Jamie, which wasn't too shabby either (love you!) Sarah and Damon pulled their camper down and parked it infront of my house...it was a true Griswold moment.
Basically we had alot of fun being home., Aiden and Kendall were like peas in a pod and they were always together, and Noah is getting so big :( Im sad I'm missing him grow up. Kenn too. BUT, Im excited about where God has led us.
aaaand we left home July 23rd. (sorry for leaving on your bday Rach!) Or actually we didn't. Because, they put us on the plane and let us buckle our seatbelts JUST to take us off again, and make us wait in the airport with a cranky baby to tell us our flight was no longer delayed, but canceled.
-SO, we waited 3 hours in line to find out we can't get out of Roanoke on the 23rd but they had a flight to Atlanta in the morning.....I about had my 2nd Roanoke airport meltdown because A.) Flying for 8 hours straight with a wiggly baby isn't peachy. B.) Pat and I wouldn't be sitting together for those 8 hours.
Fastforward : It all worked out, we got economy plus seats and sat together all the way home.
God does things we don't understand....but it's better to trust him than to burst out in tears in the middle of the airport. (I looked like I was 5, Patrick literally MADE me go take a nap when we got home haha)
August - I turned 23! woooo :)
Arin and Steph in true form.
My baby girl Kennie, she hates this... I think its why I do it :)
They were glued at the hip.
S.Sloppy.
My little family.
the end.
