Well I suppose its about time that I post something since I am now living in California and Jonathan is in Virgina. Merry Christmas to all since its today and all. Well lets see. James and I are loving it here, we have a wonderful little puppy named Zoey. She is such a sweetie. A joy to have, and a great snuggle buddy. We also have a roommate, who's husband is on deployment until next month at some point. So we are fairing quite well. Us two gals, our dogs and James. She is quite busy between church, school and work. I will take what little time we get. James is doing really well. He loves having Jack and Saddie to play with ( the parents to my puppy) and Bek too. I he talking up a storm and kissing mama all the time ( I make him mind you, but still lol). He is just as smart as ever and is growing up way way way too fast. He is nineteen and a half months old. I am meeting a couple about nanning for them sometime next week. I really hope that I get it so that James can have a little friend and so that we can have a little more of a side income as well as an outlet. I am waiting also on my refurral for my colposkyopy. I will up date you all as soon as I know something about that. I have been having too many migraines so I have recently been put on some new meds that are helping maybe... it maybe too soon to tell. I really hope that they get ride of them though... I had 10 - 12 in about 12 days. Mind you my stress level has been something that I have been choosing to not deal with. I refuse to deal with how much I miss my husband (until I had my break down a week and a half ago lol). MY father in law told me today that I put out a really tough exterior but underneath it, he knows I am really soft on the inside. I make fun of Jonathan for that very thing. Hahaha, I guess in the end, I am the same. Well thats is about it other than Jonathan is really missing his wife and son. We have been apart for over two months now. He is in North Carolina now with Cam, Nikki, and Kira having a blast. I am so glad that they are close by. He will be on hold soon, so James and I will go to him hopefully. After that, Jon will go to Maryland.... than here to Cali!!!! I love that I can eat a popsicle in the end of December, just put on a jacket and be fine going to the store. Well thank you for listening to the rantings and ravings again

James

Look out folks..... baby James is starting to walk. Here is a little clip of him doing so as well as his backwards crawl enjoy

James and his mohawk

For those of you who would like to see his new hair cut here ye go :D

Our family 5/27/09

I know its been quite a while since I have written so I shall at last fill you in to the best of my knowledge.

As of right now, Jon is almost done with school and feeling much better about things to do with that. Which also means, we could get transferred to our new house sooner than October. Look out Cali here we come!!! Jon is still talking about one day doing Law school, as you all know he mostly works his way through the thought. He has brought it up several times and maybe seriously considering it. He is loving his time home with his family and loving that James is also turning into a daddy's boy :D

James just turned one and is loving screaming at me at just about EVERYTHING!! He is also trying to break out of his crib! He is always trying to help me out and pull everything I could ever need and more out of the kitchen cupboards lol. I just went to check on him and he was into his towel drawer and had pulled them all out and sittin on them. Silly boy. He has learned how to say "I do" and "I do it" and in the right places. He is just about to take off runnin too!!! Look out world. He HATES the vacuum cleaner hahahah My little helper is pullin out all the dvds we own..... love his help. Where would I be with out him. We took him to the park the other day and went down a few slides.. don't really think he liked that much. Then we pushed him on a baby swing... he had a love hate relationship with it lol

Me, well lets see I just got back from a trip to Utah and Idaho( about a month) lol and have since had a kidney infection caused by e coli. I pretty much wanted to die!! The worst pain I have ever been in in my life!!! I have been busting my butt to clean the heck out of my house and are having four ladies over for a late breakfast today... I am meeting new ladies and liking Chicago more and more each passing day. I went on a date with one of the other wives last friday for dinner and a movie, IT WAS AMAZING!!! We have decided to do it every two weeks... I also got a unlimited pass to go tannin and a ESPRESSO MAKER for moms day :D
Well thats all I can think of now lol enjoy some pictures and the little bit of in site to my life :D

Leaving

Today has been a bitter sweet day. Jon has to be at school on our last night together and he may not be home tonight :( So here are some pictures of the two of them in the last day for two and a half weeks, if you would like to see them.

Today so far nothing has really happened lol, but we did get up about an hour ago so.. still plenty of time. Lets see Jon is still in school, and doing very well. Last I heard he was at an 88% average and all he has to do to graduate with honers it to get 90. Not bad at all. James is crawling around the house only eating things I don't want him to. We are trying to teach him to eat cheerioes no such luck except the one lonely one that had been on the floor who knows how long. Hahahah Things are going well though, honestly, I cant complain. I am looking forward to coming home with in the next few weeks!!! Still making all the plans in me head as to what I am going to do :D Can't wait. Well anyway the reason to write today was to show you my new hair cut and my hair color that isn't quite so new lol I don't look so great, but still I hope you can get the idea

Well hello there :D Just thought I would add a few little videos I took of James. Things are going great with us and just keep getting better. I have met some more new friends and I look forward to hearing from the doctor tomorrow. Jon is doing great in school and still liking it more and more. James is starting to crawl, its like a mix between a military and regular crawl.. all and all pretty dang cute :D He also loves his bday present( daddy opened it early) and another video of that :D Love love love, The Taylors
