Nantucket:

What I will miss most is a topic of our conversations now. With orders on the rise, we start thinking about everything we have taken for granted in the last 3 yrs.

What i will miss most is

the summers on the beach....you might be sitting there thinking that its just a beach and another summer...but until you spent the summer on the beach on Nantucket with the friends we did...you will have no idea, but let me try to explain. We have these beaches that are just beautiful, just like any other beach but this one comes w/ friends that you can't walk away from. On Saturdays you know...you need to pack the cooler w/ lunch, snacks for all types of kids, drinks for the adults, grab the IPod, towels, sunscreen, chairs and the dog. Head on out...if you’re the 1st ones there then clear an area. Most times it was us out 1st w/ Shannon in tow..... blocking off an area bigger then most...Preparing for a block party. Spending the day w/ friends like we have Saturday’s and Sunday’s is the best. I will miss calling everyone last minute for a BBQ at our house. Everyone knows bring a side and byob and we always knew there was going to be a TON of food and TONS of laughter and good times. I will miss sitting around the fire after the kids go to bed. I will always miss my girls night out the craziest bunch of bitches there could be.


The list can go on…and I am sure w/ the next 4 months coming up you will hear more and more about why we will miss Nantucket and our Ack family!

2009

Its a new year.

What is the new year going to bring....

well for us the New Year will bring

The Cottrells annual visit (seriously can't wait)

Jocelyn turns 3, I turn 30 (we will NOT be celebrating that)

May is the service wide for Jason,

June Ethan will be finished a great third grade year

(which he had one of the BEST teachers to date)

and by July we will be onto our next adventure!

I just want to be clear that I don't want to be at work today.

LOL!

I want to be in my pj's on the couch w/ the kids & Jason.

Instead I am sitting at work, with all my stuff done, the phone isn't ringing, and I am here by myself.

tap tap tap tap tap....tap.

Jr Miss was this weekend. We had a blast. My girl was Brittany and I love that girl. She rocked the show. Her talent was killer, she sang Fever by Peggy Lee. Her fitness was one of the best up there! Her poise, beautiful.

The after party was one of the best times I had.

Surgery here I come...once again

Well in 7 weeks I am going under the knife yet again. This time I am not so happy about it. After losing almost 100lbs and actually starting to run my bum knee has start acting up again. The same knee I had operated on in jr high. So going in for an MRI and all the testing again brought back all my fears of what the dr was going to say....and to my surprise and his .. it didn't look AS bad as we thought. I am basically going in to have my knew shaved around, the cartilage clipped away and some other fun things. Down time...and this is where it killed me I should be up walking on Monday, but exercise wise aka running 3 f-ing months.

Kids are good. Busy as always.

We have a busy next few months w/ Ethan's bday, Thanksgiving, Hase's Bday, Christmas, New Years and Jocelyn's bday!


PCS list is submitted....now to wait till Jan-Mar to find out our next desination!
