We are slated to be in Colorado at the beginning of July. The movers will be here on June 29th and I can't wait. I am looking forward to not having to pack or move a thing! What I am even more excited about is leaving Texas. Colorado is great and I can't wait to be there but I really just want to leave Texas.
This time of year is so gross to me. The HUGE flies come out, it gets humid and it's just unfavorable all around. It will be a change to leave this Texas summer and go to the Colorado summer, I hear they're drastically different.
Anyways, thinking back to this time last year...I was pregnant, Ron was deployed and I was just getting through each day. I told Ron the other day that last year seems so unreal to me. My pregnancy was exciting but I didn't have anyone to share it with so it just seemed like something that was happening. I barely even remember it because I was never just overjoyed about it. My goal everyday was to drink enough water. It's kind of sad actually and I'm glad that it's over.
Fast forward to today, Jaxon is laying on the floor trying to figure out the whole crawling thing while Ron is at work. We're so glad to have him stateside. He is so good with Jaxon, it's very cute. He's a goofy dad which I think Jaxon will appreciate as he grows a bit older.
Speaking of having Ron stateside, I'm not looking forward to the NEXT deployment. There is a great possibility that he will be going to Afghanistan at some point in late 2010 or early 2011. I will be moving back to Memphis at that point. Ron and I have agreed that Jaxon will be at an age that he will need to be around his boy cousins and his uncles. Jaxon will be without his dad, the least I can do is provide him with some great men in his life. Not to mention, I will be able to be close to my family and that will make this next deployment so much easier. Afghanistan scares me to no end, it's much...rougher...than Iraq is. However, I try to keep those thoughts at bay for the time being. I need to focus on having him home.
This December, we are going with all of our family to DISNEY WORLD!!!!!!!! We are very excited to be able to participate in this little family reunion. I can't believe Jaxon will be toddling around Disney World...he will be so big. :(

It sounds like the move to Colorado is going to be great for you guys! You'll have to drive to Utah to see me. :-)
That picture of you and Jaxon on your blog page is so cute!
I hope Ron doesn't have to go to Afghanistan. Sounds terrible!
I can't wait for Disneyworld!
The new pic of you and Hox is TOO CUTE! I love it!
I know you're going to love Colorado, but you will miss your big sister, even just knowing you're farther away than you were in Texas.
Don't fret about this next deployment. Who knows when will change before then, you know? It could be much safer. You guys are so great to do what you do. I'm grateful there are families like yours to protect us all. Love you.
LOL, I typed Hox instead of Jax! WTC?! I'm tired...
You will love Colorado. It is so beautiful.
You were so strong all of last year when you were on your own, we were all so proud of you. Keep a sunny disposition and enjoy each day with your family. I love you.
