So I think blogging is a pretty great way to keep up on everyone since many of us (just admit it!) spend way too much time on the computer anyway. I was going to wait until we had moved and were settled, but who knows when that will be. It's not like I don't spend hours online each night as a wait to go to bed until I'm so tired that I can no longer win even simple games of Text Twist and know I will be able to easily fall asleep instead of worrying about every bump in the night . So I usually go to sleep only about an hour before Carlos gets home from work, plus I'm up several times with the kids and then I'm the one who gets to get up with them in the morning. So I guess I shouldn't complain about me not getting anymore sleep than him, because it's really my own fault. I love the nights he is home, I actually go to sleep at around 10:30 because I know I don't have to worry about anything.
Life has been especially crazy this last while because Carlos is working mandatory overtime, taking two classes, studying for his FAA Private Pilot Test, and flying 2-3 times a week. He is also the membership clerk and has had extra work because they are getting ready to make us a ward (we are in a Spanish branch) and when he started, nothing was organized. I sometimes work one morning a week, but until he finishes his exam, I can't go in. Luckily I have a super flexible job.
The boys keep us busy too and Jaiden loves his daddy so much! It's hard for Carlos to study at home because Jaiden just wants to play and play and play. Once Carlos passes his test, we are planning on moving to Salem, Oregon to go to an accelerated commercial pilot school where he can finish in 10 months or less instead of 2 or 3 more years. So our house is up for sale and we are very, very sad to leave it. Add to everything else that is going on the stress of trying get the house ready, put it up for sale, and keep it clean! Keeping it clean is nearly impossible because I think Jaiden truly believes with all of his dear little heart that all toys and clothes belong on the floor!

As I post, I will probably catch you all up on the last year or so and then move on, who knows...
Life is crazy, but we are trudging on, hoping to progress with each new step we take.
