The update... Chad and his brother left for Colorado on Saturday for two weeks to a month for what is supposed to be a really good job. That leaves Bella and I home, and missing him, but we are glad that the work has been coming this year and getting us by until the Air Force.
The Air Force... Chad is joining the Air Force, and we are really excited about it! The plan (for now, it is subject to change) is to work in Colorado, and then work for APX Alarms over the summer installing alarm systems with his cousin. Then, after the summer, he will go to boot camp in San Antonio, and after that, we could really go anywhere. We sold both of our dirt bikes and Chad's motorcycle, and are trying to get our house ready to sell. He will sign up for 4 to 6 years, and finish up his bachelors, and school will be paid for 100 percent, plus we won't have to worry about student loans and getting construction jobs on the side. It is a big change, but one that we feel really good about. If Chad likes it, he will go on and make a career out of it, but either way, we should come out ahead!
Bella... is growing so fast, and is finally interested in talking! Right now, she loves the color blue and is learning her letters and numbers. Last night we were playing with magnetic letters, and she brought the letter N to Nana, the T to Tiffani, she held the B for Bella, and gave Matt and I an M, and was a little upset Daddy and Papa weren't around to give their letters to. It is fun to see her imitate everything we do. She definitely throws a lot more tantrums and tests the limits whenever she can, but we love having her a part of our family! We can't wait to go to Utah in March for my sister's wedding, and we definitely can't wait to see Daddy, whenever that will be!

I can't believe he sold his motorcycle! Wow.
Oh it's so hard when husbands are away. It makes the days AND nights long. Please please call me if you're lonely and we'll play. =)
I have nothing going on this week. I need to go to the store tomorrow. If I get out of the house early enough to go to the store and have time between the store and naps we'll call to stop by and play. K, ttyl.
Oh sad, and HOW exciting at the same time!!! Change can be so hard, but when you know its right, you know everything will work out in the end. I love how Chad is joining the APX gang...sometimes i do miss working there. Sometimes...
Please call me if you need someone to talk to. I LOVE talking with you, and Shad and I both you miss you guys. And hopefully we'll see you soon!! We are planning on coming the week before the wedding to Utah.
