week 2

Two weeks down, 50 to go. Thanks to an ENORMOUS support system here , facetime, and an absolutely amazing husband I like to think that the past two weeks have been 200x better than expected. Not to say we haven't had our meltdowns ( are we talking about ME or the toddler.. hmm..) but overall so far so good.

With wanting to document this year, but also realizing that time is something that seems to be absent from my life at the moment, I have decided to create a simple way to remember the weeks. You know how they say those that have the most to say say the least? Well I am the opposite. I don't really have much today but can talk circles around absolutely nothing. So hopefully this makes keeping tabs on life a little easier for all of us here...

Things to remember week#2

1. Spent labor day weekend hanging out with Grandpa/ Grandma Trumbull, feeding the ducks and riding the train at the park with Abbie, a sleepover and takeout  with Monica,  Lunch ( mama only) with old NAU teammates and our favorite Auntie Candace's Mama ALL the way from Hawaii,  and top it off with BBQ at Papa and Grandma's house while  getting to play with cousin Lyla bear.

2. I ran 14 miles AND finished book two of '50 shades' finally.

3. Kid free facetime dates !

4. We sent our FIRST care package to Daddy, but since a bag of kettle chips didn't fit we ate them for him.

5. Steve booked his ticket to come home for a WHOLE week for Thanksgiving :D

Things to Forget:

1. Both kiddos are teething. Yikes.

2. Lola is getting more annoying than ever, she is close to becoming a craigslist ad

3. Becoming pretty overwhelmed with having 30 hours of 'stuff' to accomplish in a 24 hour day lately :/

4. Thanksgiving seems like an eternity at the moment

5. Steve's new mustache

Things to look forward to next:

1. A couple days at the parents' Cabin

2. A couple days without the beagles

3. Meeting up with a fellow Army/ Apache wife and getting our 3 "Rucker babies" together for the first time :)

4. Talking to Daddy and seeing his pretty face, hopefully sans mustache ;)

5. Running 13.1 miles at 7,000 feet elevation ! Woo hoo

I also just want to say thank you to everyone that is actively in our life. I knew that being in Arizona meant having people close, but I didn't realize how busy everyone would keep us. It really truely helps .


Have a great weekend friends! Bring on week 3 !
