It's 2014 and we are now (stuck) in sumter, South Carolina. I say stuck because as soon as we can get out of here we are taking it! It's a small (ish) town and a complete culture shock for a Mormon raised little white girl. Sure I grew up visiting the south about every year to see my family. (Moms side is all from Missouri ) and we absolutely loved Missouri. Even lived there and Tennesse my jr year of highschool.. But nothing and I mean nothing could prepare me for this southern of a state. It's nice to be near (ish) to the ocean and things like that.. But not a place I want to raise my family. For now we will try our best to make the most of it and hopefully best this horrid heat and humidity! (It's the worst!) Ian misses recruiting. It was hard for me to see him get up and go back to a job he hadn't done in four years and see the depression that literally seeped out of every poor in his body. He's slowly comming into things and learning and remembering how it works. Each day is easier. Kennedee enjoys her school and is making friends so that warms my heart. Navy starts school soon and I'm hoping he will be ok. It's full day kinder up here so it'll be a lot for his tiny body. He's a smarty though and I'm just a worry wart. I am looking forward to marley and mommy time while the kids are in school. I've made some good friends up here that make my life easier but I miss my best friends from home a lot. I've also started doing Doterra again and direct a fairly large team that I'm very proud of up here. I also finished schooling! Very proud that I did that while Ian was TDY, and Mothering 3 young kiddos! I also started painting a lot. Helps time pass.. And helps free my ever cluttered mind. I enjoy it. Military life is never easy.. But it's the life we chose.
