I haven't been on here very much, obviously. I have been taking a break from the computer lately so its mainly homework or facebook for me. Isabella will be two this month, and that is hard for me. She loves to tell people she is almost two... which is even harder for me! She speaks in sentences and counts to 13 in english and ten in spanish.. knows her abcs and is pretty much just talking away. we figured she'd be pretty verbal from the get go but its amazing to look back and basically see how far and fast shes come! She understands just about everything we say and I understand 90% of what she says... which sometimes is rough. She is a bit bossy, yesterday she told Daddy to leave and go to work. She loves to yell at PJ and to play with him, and of course walk him.. by his tail that is. :) Shes a joy to have around and has become pretty pleasant lately.. I am just looking forward to all the teeth coming in!
J is still waiting to move on. We are done with 2/7, but still stuck here. He really wants to do Fast Company which is based out of Virginia and I think that would be neat. I know God will put us where we need to be. Its been awesome having him home so much, but we both know he needs to go work!! There was a point he thought about deploying again with 2/7 but that was shot down these past two months.
As for me.. well I am still in school and still writing papers daily, it seems! I am basically happy. We are expecting number two this Christmas, in case you didn't know. We are thrilled and I am sure Iz is too.. but we'll see. :) We thought we had lost the baby around five weeks, but it ended up I had a tear in my uterus. We basically had to wait out these past two weeks to see whether my body would keep baby Eggo or not, and after today's ultrasound it appears it has! Eggo is doing great and my body has healed itself totally. The doctor let me know how worried he had been and the expression on his face was nearly priceless, almost like J's when he saw the baby. So thats about it for us! We're just (im)patiently waiting to see where the Lord will take us but enjoying our precious time together until it happens.

It's been awhile!
Sorry but I have been so busy these past few months with Jonathan being home, trips and school. I barely get on myspace anymore as I seem to be on facebook more frequently.
Life has been great lately! Jonathan has been home since the beginning of December, as you all know, and its been so nice. I was just thinking about it yesterday and he has been home this time longer than anyother with Isabella! That is crazy to think about! He hasn't been in the field or anything and with there being no plans for another deployment, I feel so much more relaxed. He and Isabella are hilarious together, they are so much alike. She is stubborn and funny just like him and I love watching the two of them together. Right now we are waiting for April to come along so that we can see where our future will bring us. I am excited for change, though a bit nervous, but I figure the Lord will take us where we need to be.
Isabella is nearing on 22 months! I cannot believe that my baby is almost two! She talks in sentences frequently and sings along to all of her songs. Kristi taught her the alphabet and sadly I think she knows it better than Jonathan sometimes! :) She can almost count to ten, and understands basically everything we say. It is interesting how she won't speak to strangers but if she knows you it is hard to get her to stop.. I wonder where she got that from? She loves to talk to Grammy on the phone and at night time you can catch her doing that often. We just took down her crib and moved her to a big girl bed with no binkie. This was night two and it was so much better than the first night. PJ now sleeps in the same room with her and that comforts both Jonathan and I, though I am not too sure how he is taking it. When her room is all finished we will upload some pictures to show.
She was recently in Dustin and Ashley's wedding as the flower girl. She was amazing! We didn't expect her to do so well but she did and she was adorable. Of course she insisted that no one take pictures, telling Granddaddy no more pictures. We tried to get some though
So that is pretty much what is going on over here. I am so sorry I have lost contact with so many of you, things are just crazy busy over here. With her being such an active toddler and my school load getting heavier and heavier I have am finding spare time cut back... and most of the time then I just want to read or veg.

2008 Wrap Up
I haven't been on in awhile, the last month has been crazy! Jonathan is home and we are in Houston with the fam on leave. I just thought I would post an update and little blurb while they are watching The Two Towers, once again!
Jonathan came home a little over a month ago and things have been great since. He is a wonderful father and an amazing husband. He has adjusted so much quicker than I could have imagined, in fact I am the one having the most issues dealing! Isabella loves her daddy and watching the two of them together is always a wonder.
Isabella is still growing like a weed! She is still talking up a storm, using short sentences and still some of her random Chinese. She sings her very own version of abc's with Kristi and I hope to get that on tape within the next few days. Isabella is very much a strong willed child that loves to test anyone and anything she can, but she never fails to amaze us all.
I cannot believe we are already in 2009! It seems like this year flew by as it dragged on, if that makes sense! I must say it has been my most productive year, though. I have learned more about myself and life than I could have imagined. It is interesting because I thought the same last year, but in fact looking back I really hadn't. This year I learned how to embrace myself for who I am. I have worked very hard on becoming who I am meant to be and being happy with the result. I can truly say I am happy now. I am more in love with life than I have ever been and I am enjoying still learning how to better myself daily.
This year was full of struggles as I watched my husband leave again, as I lost friends and let go of some of my past. I cannot say that it has been easy, but I would not trade it in for anything. I had to learn to be on my own and it was hard, but I feel so much stronger for it. I had to realize that there are things that we have to let go as we grow and age. Change comes upon us each and we all have to learn how to adjust and learn from it. I am truly looking forward to this new year, to see where it will take not just my family, but me personally as well.
I love you all and hope you will have a wonderful year!
