So as i have found another Army wife posting on a blog i thought i would be a great idea for everyone to know and see what we are up to here in Washington! Well we have been here since October (5 months) and we are loving it so far!!
We had a very short winter if you could actually call what we got winter. It only snowed 3 times this year with a total of proabably only 3 inches!! As some of you know my mom, sister and neice spent Christmas out here with us this year and it was a blast! We went to the Point Defience Zoo to see the Zoolights and it was very cool, Maddie and Hunter both enjoyed the indoor carousel more than seeing the lights!
We are living in Puyallup a town about 15-20 mins away from JBLM (Joint Base Lewis McCord). It's very hilly here but its beautiful! We are renting a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment which is to small but that my changes this Ocother, we are deciding weather we want to move on post or not. We would be living in a 3 bedroom house on post, with alot more space!
Brandon just got back last Thursday from Fort Irwin in Southern California for a 30 day training. The training is called NTC and it is a pre-deployment training, his whole unit was there supporting a unit out of Alaska which is deploying soon. He said it was boring and the weather wasn't very nice. He also found out that he has to go back in November because they will be deploying next year sometime.
Hunter is growing so fast its crazy! I can't believe that he will be 3 this year! We are planning on taking him to a indoor water park for my birthday and on a train ride around Mt. Rainier for his. I think he will really like both of those! He has sure become a little fish lately, we try and go swimming every friday on base. They have a very nice pool that has indoor slides...only one that is small enough for him and he loves it! We still have our dog Nikkita and i am very thankful that we have her here, she is my protector! We also got a cat in November named Zuki, Hunter loves her to death!
We are heading out to The Ram restuarant in Tacoma right on the Pudget Sound for dinner with some great friends this weekend and next weekend we are hosting a St. Patricks day party! I love all this warm weather so that we can be out and about! This year Brandon and I will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary..i know crazy right!..not sure what we will be doing but i hope to get away with the family for a weekend. There is SO much to do out here i don't know where to start! We want to go camping on the Coast for a weekend this summer, my list could go on and on. I will keep everyone posted on all of our new and exciting adventures!!
