  3. well, honestly, i have been stressing, but it’s been a good stress… after this last year, i am thankful for that! the husband is home from afghanistan now, the knee that i blew out and had to have surgery on in the middle of his deployment is getting better every day, the kids adjusted far more readily to daddy being home than i expected, and everything with our upcoming transfer seems to be falling in to place… the stresses this last week have been trying to get ahead on school work so i dont spend all our vacation working on it, looking for a house 12 hours aways, and trying to pack, purge and clear from the house we are in right now… fortunately i am a master at this moving bit, this will be the seventh move in almost 9 years!nnso, how are you doing? and is there something i could do for you or your family?

    • Wow! Sounds like y’all got a lot going on. A lot of good stuff! We’re doing awesome. I can’t think of anything we need but I’ll let you know if I think of something. Thanks so much for asking!
