New Digs!! Day 1...

Yep, I am back!  It has been a while.  A lot has changed.  So, let me catch you all up.

 We are living life in the suburbs, kids are in semi-normalish public schools (I plan an entire post on public school).
My amazing husband is back in bootcamp. Now he is the bootcamper and not the bootcampy.  Still there from 4am-10pm but they let him have his own coffee cup, so I think this time around will be a bit better.  Redbull gives you wings, Ian will be the test case.

I am in between jobs. Will start back to work here in a few weeks, provided I can convince myself I won't die driving in 100 feet of snow.  To help pass the time, I have started a garden, mostly for our new dogie to eat all my broccoli.  But, hey the tomato's are looking good.

The big kids are all doing good (by teenage standards) one is in drivers ed, the other is hanging out with his new girlfriend.  That is not something I will be blogging about.  Mostly because every time I think about my Noah dating I break out in hives, and find myself drinking way to much Vodka to type...

The Little's are well.. still little.  Peyton will be starting second grade in the aforementioned public school, and has several little people his size in the neighborhood to pal around with.  They seem to spend their days going from house to house begging for food.  Piper is almost 3 and good at it.  She occupies her days yelling at the teenagers, and dancing.  *insert Vodka here*  They have all kinds of flavors here in the good ol' US of A!

We all miss Japan, mostly we miss the food and our amazing friends we made while there. I miss that life.  We hope to someday return, but for now the suburbs it is.  I will adjust in time.  I HOPE!  If not there are always medications to help me through.    I have learned a few things about myself in this latest move.  I HATE the mall.  Shopping is just not my thang.  Walmart is right up there with a root canal.  I have a feeling in no time my groceries will be delivered. Amazon.com is marvelous...

Writing is still something I do daily.  The ol' notebook/pen style.  I have started writing more seriously these days.  I don't want to delete my old blog, but blogging needs to happen...   One can only express so much on Facebook.  Today I spent some time reading about DOMA.  OMG!!  I found myself yelling at my computer.  Are people still really that full of hate?    Are we not past all this nonsense yet?

OK, so now we are all caught up with me.. How are you all?  What's new in your lives?
