Leaving Washington I will miss...
Many of my dear friends and their children.
The clean smell when I walk outside because it is always raining.
Black clothes-they are everywhere just in abundance here.
Getting into a pro-choice/pro-life debate with a stranger on the street of Seattle.
Pine Trees-most of them.
Tree Huggers with thier hemp milk and coffee rocking Birkenstocks with socks!
Central Market.
Zero Gravity Gymnastics.
Korbin's Ms. Nancy (his amazing pre-school teacher from heaven)
Cheap Salmon.
Silverdale 6th Ward.
Girls nights which involve doing nothing productive but talking to buddies.
My therapist. Whom we call 'our crazy doctor'
Knowing sunny days are numbered and doing really fun things on those days.
US Navy for the guaranteed paycheck and 100% medical coverage
Things I will NOT miss...
RAIN!!
Sleeping alone because Jax in on duty or gone to sea.
RAIN!
US NAVY for everything but the paycheck (which wasn't even good) and the insurance.
The crappy people who live on my street who make their kids hold a lit cigarette while they fix a bike and such...
RAIN!
How far everything is-good shopping/good dining/good entertainment
Super high cost of living. 200K for a trailer!!
Fake friends.
Muddy carpet.
RAIN!
Being the 'fairest' people in the country.
Living attached to someone else.

no news...yet...
Sorry everybody that is hanging by a thread just waiting to see whats going to happen to my family-oh wait-that's just me!! We still have no news on pretty much anything. We sort of sold the bullet bike but it fell through. We still dont have orders to move our stuff. We are still interviewing with job prospects but no final offers. We have been told by some crazy lady at PSD (I have no idea what that actually means but its the office that handles getting in and getting out and ID cards and all that sort of paperwork) told us yesterday that the Navy expected us to pay back our bonus um...that's $45,000.00 because we aren't finishing our whole time. Then she said we didn't qualify for separation (severance for the rest of the world) when all along we have been approved to not pay back our bonus because we have put in most of our time and we are also approved for separation. So, now that we have 19 days left nothing has changed except that now we are freaking out and will be living with Jaxons parents till we get a job. I'm sorry to be so bleak but all in all what is what going on; It sounds very negative but in every way this is very challenging. The good part is we are all healty (besides for Jaxons depression which is the reason we are getting out) and the kids are remarkable. We will let you know the MINUTE that we have GREAT news!!

changed my life...
Its mothers day and I can't help but think of my life 6 years ago-unwed and knocked up with Korbin (yes- I said knocked up because that's what you are when you are preggers and not married!) I had just found out that week after taking 14 pregnancy tests and going to the doctor for the 'stomach flu' that just wouldn't go away. I remember sitting on my bathroom floor in my apartment, all alone and wondering what to do next. I sat there holding my flat tummy and knowing that my life was going to change whether I wanted it to or not.
The Saturday I got my first Mothers Day card from Jaxon (whom was at boot camp) I was hooked up to IVs and was so so sick. I had to give up my promotion and I was too sick to stand up straight. I was elated to get that card-it still however wasn't real to me yet. Mothers day that year came and went with me alone in every way. I was alone in the hospital and in my soul.
A few weeks later I went into my ultrasound to find out the sex of this baby from hell. I had lost 13 lbs and was worried that this kid was going to be a bit 'slow' considering some of my past time activities I had before I knew I was pregnant. (don't worry mom I wasn't doing drugs!)So, needless to say I was more than nervous to go to this appointment. I show up and the nurse looks at me and says something like 'Pregnancy is a time for rejoicing, you just might make the world a better place'. I had not once felt that way. I knew I would love it when it came out but up till then-Korbin was baby 'it'. The ultrasound went great and then this tech with the craziest accent Ive ever heard asked if I wanted to know what sex my baby was. I told him 'it' was a boy, that I just knew and he came around the side of me and hugged my shoulders and said 'Yes, sweet momma! You are having a son and he will be glorious and you will a great mother!' In that moment I had a paradigm and my life changed once more. I knew in that second that my horrible twist of fate could be changed and I was going to do whatever it took to be the best mother the world has ever seen. I left with those black and whites on a mission. From then on the ball was rolling! By the time Korbin came (two weeks after his due date-so like him) on November 10, 2003 Jaxon and I had decided to marry and we lived Charleston South Carolina so Jax could go to Nuke school. I had devoured every baby book I could find and went to every class. Yep- I was the chick and the 'How to change your baby' class. And I needed it! But, one of the biggest changes was that I had come back to church. I knew during that ultrasound what religion I wanted to raise my son in and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints was it. Coming back was very hard but totally worth it.
If I had not come back I would never have gotten our Miss. Allie. Almost four years later a prayer was said and the answer was her. In one moment our lives changed again-only this time we were really happy about it and a little more prepared! Which was good being as I delivered Alexzondra exactly 9 months after that prayer! If I could go back I would have done a million things differently but that doesn't mean I am filled with regret. Heavenly Father needed these two children to have me as a mother and BOTH of them came right when they needed to. I love them and I am so humbled and grateful to be their mommy. I think they might just turn out pretty great too!

Just plain tired...
Today Jaxon went to an international job conference in Seattle and had two promising interviews and yesterday he had a fantastic interview as well. It is looking like Jaxon's skills are in demand. That is a great blessing especially in this economy- but we are exhausted. Every few hours one of the head hunters we are working with calls and we rush to various websites to check education, insurance, house values and anything else we can think of and get right back with them to set up interviews or pass. Its always a mad rush because WE ONLY HAVE THREE WEEKS LEFT!! I am going blind. I have literally checked out Baltimore to Corpus Christi and back to Quincy Washington. I personally would really love North Carolina). It seems as if everything looks good in the town then the job is crap or something just is 'off'. We haven't really felt RIGHT about anything. And if we don't start feelin something we are gonna be homeless so we had better get in tune-quick!! I am so tired. I just want to know what is going on with our lives. We still don't have our exact orders yet and we are supposed to leave in 23 days (the problem with that all you non-military folks-is that we can't arrange for packers and movers until we have orders) I am praying we don't get fined for the super short notice we will have no choice but to give. I am happy that Jaxon is putting it to the grind stone and I have to say if I am hunched over the computer delirious about the public education system-or lack thereof-all Jax has to do is put on one of his new suits and I start to feel a tiny bit better!!

Seriously...
My child is either very smart or very slow...
Today in one afternoon he asked
"Do lobsters have eyelids?" Said as if it were imperative to his mental well being.
as well as
"If Tyler's mom pushes out her baby the way you did-can she still pee?" "Can YOU still pee?" said very wide eyed with great concern.
and
"Is Miss. Allie going to grow up and look like you or look like dad because I think your kinda puffy and dad's hair has run away!" Said as if we were looking directly at the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
I love him but he makes us look up the craziest things!!! So to clear up the lobster question- No they do not have eyelids. AND for any of you who watched 'Friends'-when Phobee said that lobsters mate for life and Ross was Rachel's lobster. She was full of crap because the big daddy lobster mates with everybody. He's a man slut-but I wont be telling Korbin that!
