So, it has been a long while since I blogged. It has been such a rat race here that I am not sure which direction I am going most days. Inventory is Tuesday at work & so work has been really crazy. I've got to work two really long days the next two days, but when it's over I get four glorious days off. It sucks though cause Robert goes on a 96 hour pass tomorrow & I won't get to see him. I really miss him so much.
So the boys are doing well in soccer. Caiman has over 10 goals this year & him & Brenna are definitely leading their team. It is great to see how much fun they are having. Ryan has yet to have a goal this year, but his team is undeafeted. They are very intense & very good. He has 3 more games then he is done until high school practice starts.
We are going to Silverwood this coming weekend & then Caiman & Brenna's birthday bash is on the 7th. Caiman is so excited. I can't believe he is going to be 7 already.
Christian is just hanging out. He likes to play his guitar & video games. I think he is waiting for school to start so he can see his friends.
Robert is just waiting to leave Texas now. Sometime in August, but no dates yet.
As for me, just working & trying to survive. I have a hard time thinking we are really doing this again. I keep thinking he's just gonna walk through that door at any minute. The bed is lonely, the house is busy but I miss my best friend in the whole world. There is a hole in my heart that won't be filled until he comes home. (Sigh)
Some day we need to figure out as a country how to make deployment better on every family ever involved. Well, life is good for now. I'll write more after our Silverwood trip, can't wait. Talk to you all later.

Update on Hectic
So alot has happened since I last wrote. We went camping for the 4th of July, it was a blast. The boys had a lot of fun. My allergies went into overdrive & overtook my systems. That has been fun. Ryan & Caiman have started soccer & are having a great time. Ryan has been invited along with my niece LeeAnna to tryout for the state select soccer team. I know Ryan is for sure trying out on the weekend of August 14 & 15 in Salem. We are gearing up for inventory at work so that is an adventure & headache all in one. The boys and I are waiting for it to be over so we can go to Silverwood Amusement Park in Post Falls, ID, with my sister Candy & my nieces & nephew. It will be a good four days away. Then the next week is Caiman & my niece Brenna's 7th birthday bash. Then we go to Salem. Then we have a couple weeks til Ry's Bday weekend, thinking about going to Wallowa Lake for a day. That week high school soccer for Ryan starts & since he's eligible this year we are hoping he makes varsity. Then its Labor Day weekend, probably camping again hopefully with more family & friends. Then on the 12th of September we are hopefully gonna be attending the Seahawks Vs. 49ers in Seattle with my sister & brother Curt & Candy, and my niece LeeAnna that will be a major blast. So it has been hectic & will continue to be until school gets into full swing on the 7th of September. That's how we like it though.
Robert is well. He is currently in a really bad part of New Mexico training. Then back to Fort Hood. He will be there until he leaves for the desert. He is going on a four day pass the end of the month & since I have inventory he will be spending in San Antonio with his dad, uncle Mike, aunt Jeanie, uncle David, cousin Eric & possibly his brother Bobby. So that will be good for him & all of them. He is no longer going to be on the big base in Afghanistan either. The powers at be must have listened to my rambling & despite my honest feelings are moving him to where he is going to do his job. He will be able to fly & he will be happy. He is going to one of the FOBs. I pray that all will be well but now I'll worry just a little more. He should be headed there sometime in early August. We are down to hopefully 333 and a wake up. Cause he's been active for 32 days & he's been gone from Oregon for 30 days. So that's where we stand. More later. Take Care All. Lots of love.
