Update!!

Well, Nick is stuck at his current location for a few days. He should be at his final destination soon. He is having problems with a leg of his flight. He is safe and bored. So bored he bought a new vehicle. I received an email today that said "DO NOT DELETE, FROM YOUR HUSBAND!!" My thought was, "What is this?". Well, it was a car purchase invoice. Luckily, he called me shortly after I got the email and told me that it was not a purchase, it was a quote, and asked me if I liked it. Because of his military status and his deployed location, they gave him a really good deal on a 2007 Ford Focus. I will attach a picture to this blog. Cheapest new card we have ever been able to purchase. Looks like we should get it in February. It has to be built.

On another note, the kids had parent-teacher conferences yesterday. They both are doing great. Kortney's teacher said she loved having Kortney is class and that Kortney is a great help with helping other students. She has 1 B+ and all the rest of her grades are A's. She is doing really well with her spelling and vocabulary words. Jakob has all A's too. He is already reading chapter books. He is a bit hyper in class, but we have worked out a plan to redirect his excess energy. He seems to be doing really well with spelling words as well.

School is moving along for me. I have a big test tomorrow. So I have to study hard tonight. I missed most of last week, so I have some catching up still to do. Jake is on his way to bed very shortly and I am going to hit the books. Because Nick is gone, I think that next semester I am only going to take online classes. That way I won't have to miss any classes if anything unexpected comes my way.

Please pray for my mother-in-laws brother. My mother-in-laws name is Bonnie. They found some disturbing news with her brother's health. So, if you could keep him in your prayers, that would be greatly appreciated.

I'll post some pictures of the kids as well. I have pictures of the kids with their teacher on the phone, but I don't know how to send it to my email address. So I took these last night. Have a great evening everyone!! Signing off for now, DB!

Heard from Nick!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I heard from Nick tonight and he is doing well. He is not to his destination yet, but he called to let me know that all is well. It will probably be several days until I hear from him so please keep him in your prayers. I had fun with the kids tonight. After dinner and baths we played a game called PayDay. It was a lot of fun and easy for Jake to play. It was nice sitting around relaxing with the kids. Jake and I played as a team and we won. Kortney was a good sport. Especially when Jake started rubbing it in her face. Well, I will post a few more pictures. I better go so I can do some homework. I have a big test this week.

I'm Back!!!

Well I am back. I know that when I was in Japan I started a blog. However, due to the swift move back to the states due to Jake's health, I haven't touched it since I left Japan. Now I am starting over fresh with a new site. First, I want to say that Jake is doing great. He is off all of his medications and hasn't had an asthma episode since we have moved. Yes, many of you do not know that we have moved from Japan to California recently. Jakob's lungs did not like the pollution over in Japan so the military moved us back here to the states. Things have been crazy since we arrived. I am just now getting a bit of spare time to write. I have gone back to school to get my teaching certificate. It has been a lot of fun. The kids have started school again. They are keeping my busy with homework and extra curricular's. I guess the main reason for me writing a blog again is because Nick just deployed. It was short notice therefore no one really knows yet. Now you all know. He will be gone for about 4 months. So, I wanted to use this blog to keep everyone informed about Nick and keep him informed of what is going on here. Nick and I celebrated our 11th Wedding Anniversay this last week. So, I thought I'd post my favorite picture from our 10th Wedding ceremony that we had last year. Please keep Nick in your prayers. Check back often for updates. We love and miss you all. And for those of you who know the joke behind DB, check out the title of my web page. HA!HA!HA! God Bless. Danielle.
