Crazy changes, new adventures, whats yet to come?!

So many changes have happened since I last updated this blog. First we're no longer in sunny Florida. The Navy once again decided that we needed to call a new place our home so in May of 2015 we moved to Virginia. Man what a change that has been. That first year here was somewhat of a whirlwind. The princess started a new school, one that turned out to be less the subpar and led to our newest adventures, which I'll get to shortly. 

After getting settled here in VA and finding our footing, we had the quite a surprise happen. We got pregnant! This was a scary time for us, especially me since we lost our last baby. I was fearful of what was to come, and if it would even come to fruition. It was a rough pregnancy to say the least. I had multiple kidney issues that led to two stints in the hospital and a nephrostomy tube being placed for the last 12 weeks of my pregnancy. In the end it was all worth it, when a year after our adventure started here in VA we brought a little man into the world. Our family was finally complete. 

He's been a part of our crazy family for 2 months already and it seems like just yesterday that he was born. He's turned our world upside and inside out but we wouldn't have it any other way. We finally have our little princes to go along with our princess. 

Speaking of princess! She's about to embark on a new journey. One we will be experiencing together. Due to the troubles she had with many of the kids at her new school here, and the school refusing to protect her from bullies and threats, we have decided to partake in homeschool this year. Instead of me having to create lesson plans and figuring out what to teach her we enrolled in the K12 program with Virginia Virtual Academy. They are sending us all of our supplies and lesson plans and she actually communicates with a teacher weekly through an online classroom. I will still be facilitating her hands on work at home but more of a guide then anything. It's a journey we will be starting in just a few short weeks (possibly as early as next week) and we are extremely excited.

This year brings many new adventures, ones I'll hopefully be able to keep up with a little better on here. While still pursuing my secondary masters, and being a supportive wife to my husband, I now will be teacher to my daughter and mommy to a newborn! All in a day's work! We can't wait to see what the coming year brings and see how we weather through it all! Stay tuned!
