Hey y'all! (from Florida)

Hey everybody!

We're well into our little vacation in Pensacola and we are loving it!  The trip down was pretty easy and Max did great!  It took him a little while to get settled on a decent sleep schedule but now I think we're back to normal.  So, that's great!  We've been having so much fun and I know I'm going to HATE to leave.  But, hopefully we'll be given a house soon so we have something fun to go back to.  Otherwise, it's really going to suck knowing that we're leaving Florida to go back to temporary housing on base in NJ.  Ugh!  So, say a little prayer that we get a house before we go home.

Anyway, like I said, it's been a great trip so far.  Christian was only here for about four days but we tried to make the most of his time here.  We visited family and ate at some good restaurants.  He left on the 19th.  Max and I moved into our little vacation rental on the 25th and it's been nice to have a place of our own.  It's super convenient and we're able to run errands without having a 30 minute drive like we would if we were staying with my parents.  So, this has been great.  We're here until June 26th and hopefully Christian will be back down here by then!

We've been taking advantage of all the fun stuff to do around here like the splash pad downtown, the beach a couple times, swimming at Roger Scott pool and of course spending tons of time with family.  Family makes like so much easier.  Yesterday, I drove over to my brother's place (he lives over on 30a in Santa Rosa Beach) and we went for an awesome bike ride through some of the beach towns down there.  That is seriously one of the most beautiful places on earth down there.  If you've never been, GO, like now... just go.  It's 19 miles of gorgeous-ness.  :)  We biked about 20 miles and it was a gorgeous day.  Then, by the time I got back home yesterday afternoon, I was exhausted so as soon as Max went to bed, my butt was in bed!  haha

Oh, something else that is super great is a decision that Christian and I have made (well, technically, that christian finally agreed to) is that we're moving back to Pensacola when he retires in four years!  Y'all have absolutely NO IDEA how friggin' happy this makes me.  There's a light at the end of the tunnel!  I'm so excited.  We're looking at land now to hold onto and then hopefully build on when we move back.  He'll retire and then most likely fly for an airline (or one of the zillion other options he has) out of here.  Super!  So, like i said, light at the end of the tunnel!  Four years will fly by and it will be perfect timing for Max to start kindergarten right when we move down here.  Happy, happy, happy!

Well, that's about it for now!  Y'all have a wonderful Sunday!

xoxo,

Chrissi
