September Updates

Hello Family,

Hope all is well with everyone. How September has been a pretty normal one. Bryant started Fiscal Closeout at work. He shows up to work at 5:45am, PTs with his office, starts work at 7:30 and gets off somewhere between 5 pm and 6:30 pm. Luckily, this week is the last week of this schedule and we can get back to a more normal and sleep friendly one. He got some great news though! His Gunnery Sargent wrote an "update" for his non-recommendation which read - "Has shown great improvement" and they will be promoting him October 3rd! I also get to pin on his new rank, we will take pictures and post for the family.

Annabelle is growing so fast, can't believe that she will be 6 months old next month! She is rolling everywhere and has started some solid foods which she enjoys very much. She has been having trouble sleeping through the night, which makes for a tired mommy, but we are slowly getting her back on schedule.

I am doing good, still looking for a job, but also looking into my options for joining the military when Bryant gets out. I've always wanted to join, and put in my 20 years, and with Bryant not being able to find work, this seemed like a pretty good opportunity to do so. I've started working at getting to my weight bracket and have already lost 10 pounds! Go me! Other than that just enjoying life, being a mommy, friends and family.

Annabelle, Sarah [my littlest sister] and Myself made the extremely long and frustrating drive up to Pismo Beach to spend a couple days with Aunt Julie, Uncle B, Wendy and Heidi. It was lots of fun and they loved meeting Annabelle and spending time with her. The weather was nice, except for the last night we were there it poured. Putting away a wet tent is not fun. And trying to dry it out on the porch later wasn't either, but all is well that ends well.

I will update the side bar photo of Annabelle to her 5 month photo =) Looking forward to writing next months post to tell about our fun times with family at Sianna and Lauren's Birthday Parties, Bryant's promotion, and other fun activities! Til next time.....
