We trying......but we're inhaling sharply

Hello everyone, Life is what happens when you are making other plans. Much the way of this blog. It was so easy in the beginning, but then life must have took over. I'm not sure. Much has happened since last we posted. The big news and I mean BIG is that Scott and I are buying a house. Yes here in Virginia, which probably would have been the last place we would have thought to have lived, let alone buy a house. But we're almost through with this man's Navy and we really want Brenna to be able to start and finish one high school. We're actually building a house. Lots of decisions to make. Sometimes can be overwhelming. But the market is good for this area, it's a good neighborhood and Brenna will be going to the same high school as Kieran. So it's all good. We'll show some pictures everyone and then so that you can see. We just got back from our spring break vacation. Our last one before Kieran graduates. I'm having a hard time grasping that statement. He is graduating. But I guess they do grow older and do have to leave home. He is doing well at school now. Threatening not being able to go on vacation was a great motivator for him. No all he has to do is maintain until June. Everybody keep your fingers crossed. Of his nine schools that he applied to: 2 said yes, 1 said we have to see, one hasn't answered and 5 said no. Not bad odds I guess. Brenna is doing well in school. She picked out the classes that she wants next year in high school. No more band, only because she really wants to take the art classes that they offer. She has a bunch of field trips coming up that she is looking forward to going on. Geometry is going well. An SOL is coming up soon. That is Virginia's standardized test that they have to take and she needs to take one for Geometry. I know she'll do fine. Scott leaves for trip this week. He's been med down for awhile, so it's been nice to have him home. But the traveling starts again. He has lots of trips between now and the summer. Oh well, I'll just push on. I miss him, but life keeps moving, whether he's here or not. I've started walking 3 times a week with a friend in the mornings. We started out at two miles. I'm up to 2 and a half. I really don't like doing it, but it's good for me and Elisa pushes me to keep doing it. We're good motivators for each other. Well hopefully I can get someone else to write on this blog soon. Miss all of you very much. Take care and all of you are always in our prayers. ME
