Happenings

Well its officially official that we are moving to Ft Polk in December. We couldn't be happier about this. The best part is that we are getting out of our teeny house and moving back into our big house. The renters have been given notice and they will be out by November 30 at the latest. Its so crazy to think that exactly 4 years ago we moved into that house and now we are going back. We will miss many things about Italy, like actually being in Italy, drinking cappuccinos at outdoor cafes and drinking wine at lunch where no one thinks you are a lush. Its been a good run though and we aren't too sad to say goodbye. We get to be here through all the welcome home ceremonies and celebrations and get to say goodbye to all our friends. Its a good time to go.
I'm taking an Italian class. Kind of ironic since I've been here two years but its the first time I've ever really had Kirby around in any real capacity and I am able to go some where without the kids. Its very nice. I'm also training for a half-marathon in November. A few other ladies are training as well so that makes it a little less terrible. So far I am up to 6 miles, I am definitely progressing. My double jogging stroller is the best and it allows me to go whenever I want and just take the boys. There are a few good paths right outside our house so that makes it even easier.
Other than that we are just gearing up for Oliver's birthday, thanksgiving and our big move. We are really happy just being together as a family because its something we really haven't had thus far.

cheers
