I think it's so cool to be able to sit down and talk to strangers.....I have been chatting off and on with a nice lady that sat down next to me here at the Starbucks....hot chocolate and a blueberry muffin....but it's been really interesting to talk to this lady.
She is a liason for migrant families and the school district....I can't even begin to wrap my mind around her job, but it's facinating.

So, quick update:
Mike is still looking for orders as he turned down orders to Bahrain. Had he taken them he would have been gone for 12 months and the kids and I would have stayed here in Atlanta. He felt, after talking to the kids, that they would have a hard time and that no matter where he goes next year, he needs to take all of us with him.... I love him. for all he does to provide for us. Not just our physical needs but he worries about our hearts and our minds. He takes our well-being into consideration when planning his career. I know that it was a hard decision. They were dream orders. He gave them up for our happiness. What a guy....
Thanksgiving was great!
We went to visit our friends in South Carolina. Mike met Al in Honduras this year and the kids and I got to meet him and his family for the first time! They were wonderful hosts and so much fun to be with!!! Mike told me after he first met Al "He's so awesome! It's like hanging out with MYSELF!!!" And I am here to say that it is exactly like that. Ina and I were laughing that we are married to the same man.....
All is great with the kids. They are getting excited about Christmas.
We have our ward Christmas Party this weekend and I am on the Activities Committee, so I'll be busy at the church with Leigha as my little go-getter and Mike and Jake will be an hour and a half away at Jake's swim meet.
Ahhhhhh.....such is life!
