Quite frankly I do not remember week 15.
I know we made it out to Maumee Bay and we went to Pearson but as week 15 came to a close we were preparing for Baby Carter and every since then seems like everything has been moving at a very fast pace. Sunday afternoon Cassy wanted to go walking at Pearson as she was within days of her due date and wanted to get this labor moving we went and got ice cream afterwards.

And Cassy had Carter Monday morning :)
As for Chris he is in transition to another base. As I have said before thank you to everyone who has sent Chris packages but hold off on sending anything for awhile until we get a confirmation on his new address. Where he is at now he has access to wifi which is wonderful because when he has time he is able to text from his IPOD. It really is amazing how technology has changed over the years. Makes the days a lot easier when I am able to hear from him almost daily. And here we are almost to May! Can you believe it!
I am heading into a very busy couple weeks of school as we head into finals. And the last week before the marathon. I am just trying to keep my head above water right now. My plate is definitely very full but after the marathon and finals we have some smooth sailing for awhile. I am so excited to see everyone out in support of Chris this weekend at the marathon. The shirts have come in and it seems as if everything is coming together.
There are many days right now when I feel completely overwhelmed. I haven't slept in weeks. I was excited to be able to "sleep in" until 7:30 this morning. And I will be kicking myself for that though because I will not get a final run in today but I needed sleep. We just keep thinking about the end of this, September, when life will go back to normal.

Take the sleep even if it sends your schedule to H&LL. I was 35 when Mitch was in Iraq. Late nights, dealing with 3 kids (R was 4, B was 2 and C was newborn), lots of Diet Coke, worry, stress, baby weight did a serious number on my skin on my face. I feel that year was the turning point for all the wrinkles I have now. Not that I wouldn't have wrinkles now, but I don't believe they would be so bad if I hadn't gone through that year.
