Week 24!

Another week over... we are flying now! 

And we are in such a routine that it makes life so much easier.  I love June because we do not have a ton of obligations... just time for Audrey and I to hang out on the weekends. This week was a busy one that was interrupted by an Urgent Care visit for me on Thursday. Turned out to just be pink eye (thank god) but it sidelined me or a day or so. And I still cannot wear my contacts... ahhh I am struggling but oh well my new contacts should be here soon so I'll struggle a few more days. No biggie. I played catch up this weekend with housework and homework and we had some rain but that didn't keep us inside.

I cannot wait to buy a house... hopefully with a pool! Until then, this is her diving board

 And of course we celebrated Father's Day even if Chris could not be home!

Summer Baby

We also made it to the beach!

 Lunch at the beach! One of our favorites!

Sand castles

Then back to the diving board

If that doesn't say summer I don't know what does! Cannot imagine having a kid who didn't like to be outside!

And Hudson boy looking at as big and cute as ever!

This made me laugh. I have a Christian Ethics class this summer for school and I must not have proofread my homework. This is the result. It was suppose to say "Christ" instead I wrote Chris :) Thinking about the husband much??

As for the boys in Afghanistan, enjoying some time off... with some O'douls! Love this picture

Father's Day Smoothies!

Pretty sure these two are connected at the hip

And here we are more than half way through June! Getting closer and closer every week. I must say it is getting easier here. I can't believe those words even came out of my mouth. But it is. Sometimes I feel bad even thinking it that. But it does get easier and life is so routine right now that it makes everyday go by much smoother. Not that we do not miss Chris any less but almost 6 months into the deployment and I think life is settling down :)

I finished up one of my summer classes this week (with an A!) and have another that goes until the end of July. Then a quick break before 3 classes in the fall! Then done! Hurrayy!! I have started working with advisers and teachers to try and figure out "what I want to be when I grow up" because at 26 I don't have a clue! But they have got me on the job hunt already, working on my resume, and all that jazz. Woah, is this real life? Am I going to graduate?! What an exciting next 6 months this will be for our family.... Chris coming home from Afghanistan, buying a house, and me finally getting my bachelors! Whewww! Stay tuned for the ride!

Also, its back... "Becoming More Domestic"! I took a little break from cooking, pics, and posting of the recipes because it became to much. Well not the cooking part but all the pics and blog posts. Once we hit May life was so crazy we were on the run all the time that sometimes Audrey was lucky if she got a turkey sandwich for dinner. I'm kidding, of course I fed her. But I wasn't trying much new stuff. So today I am making crockpot ribs! Audrey is such a good eater... she will eat anything! Asparagus, tomatoes, all veggies pretty much, fruit and of course "meat" as she calls it. She loves meat and ribs so I picked up some babyback ribs last week at the store but there is no way I will trust myself on the grill and its suppose to be 100 degrees this week.... can't turn on the oven. So I found a recipe on Pinterest for crockpot ribs! Perfect summer dinner! 

Well we are off and running this morning again. Well I am headed to the treadmill for runnning while Audrey sleeps but then its to work and school and another busy week is underway! 

Happy Birthday to my wonderful sister in law, Ann! Excited to celebrate this weekend with sunshine, the pool, and family. Come on Week 25! Let's do this :)
