One of the perks in being a military family is the joy we get of living all around the world. I have lived in Sri Lanka, Pennsylvania, Texas, Germany(twice), Georgia, North Carolina, and now Illinois. I can say that Illinois is my least favorite place of them all. Here we are on the 8th of April and it is cold....not like in the 60's cold but the high today is barely hitting 50 and with the windchill it is even colder. It snowed on Monday and there are still a few rem rents here and there. What a spring break....don't get me wrong we have found things to do. The boys went to a birthday party yesterday and swam at the indoor pool at our local YMCA. We have run errands and done crafts. The mornings are usually spent lounging around until we decide to drag ourselves downstairs. When I say drag I mean drag. Every morning we open the back door in the hopes that the wind that blows in will be a doable cool but nope we get slapped in the face with the icy cold wind that seems to cut straight through to the bone. The only good thing that has come out of the cold is staying in and having family movie time. We all cuddle up in the living room and have watched Marley and Me, The Secret Lives of Bees, Mama Mia (boys mysteriously disappeared), The nutty professor, Seven Pounds (didn't like it), and the boys watched Max Payne with Donte (I suddenly disappeared on this one). Our DVR is almost empty and the local Barnes and Noble now know us on a first name status. It's nice to have so much free time but I wish the weather was nicer to do more outdoor activities without getting bundled up.
Our recruiting time is dwindling down. We have been her for two years now and I for one can not wait for our orders.....*fingers crossed for Germany or anywhere warm*
