Where has all the time gone?

It is unreal to me that we are already in November. This year has flown by!

What we have been up to...

The boys have had a little break from sports, with the exception of Karate. Blake is now a purple belt! Blake and Hunter will both start basketball in January. They LOVE to just run around outside with all of their neighborhood friends! There are times that I barely see them other than to check in. It reminds me so much of when I was a kid.

Parker is growing WAY to quickly. His little attitude is getting bigger and bigger! He has mastered using the word "NO". I also get pretty tired of Mommy, Daddy, and Bubbie! If he doesn't get his way, he will scream at you. He is crazy rough and already wrestles hard with the older boys. The biggest problem is that it is almost impossible to be stern with him because you can't help but to laugh. He is hilarious. And if he doesn't make you laugh, he will melt your heart with his adorable grin. :)

Ben has been busy. He is now on the flight team. Hasn't gone on his first mission yet, but has completed the training for it. Ben will also start picking up extra shifts at a local hospital. Being in the ICU, he feels like he is loosing his trauma skills. He wants to have the experience in the ER as well. And the extra money will be nice. ;)

Speaking of money, we have officially started the Total Money Makeover. I have mixed emotions about this but for the most part I am excited. Once we sat down and really made a budget for everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, we were surprised by how much money we waste every month. It is time to start paying off debt and building our emergency fund/savings.

I think my last blog was about my career choice. I have been excepted to Leeward Community College. There I will complete the prerequisites that I need to enter the Occupational Therapy Masters Program. They do not offer the program here so I just want to be ready when we move back to the mainland. I am really excited to FINALLY be working towards something. I register next Friday, so I really hope I get the classes I need.

What is coming up? A MOVE!!! We are finally #2 on the housing list! We are hoping to move sometime next month. This will save us a lot of money. Not looking forward to the move, but I am excited about being closer to Ben's work and not wasting so much money on utilities.

Ben is on nights now so I should be on here a little more. I really need to update pictures!!! Talk to you soon. :)
