Beach vacation with the Fagley Family

The kids and I went to Florida on vacation with my family! Unfortunately, Kevin could not come so it was just the kids and I. But we had a great time!!! We went to the beach and pool and went on my dad's boat. The big boys learned to kneeboard and the other kids tubed. I even kneeboarded once. My sister came for one of the weeks and my brother and his family were there for 2 weeks. It was great family and cousin time for the kids. My aunt and uncle were there as well.

We did see a baby hammerhead shark that a fisherman caught and thankfully we did not see the mama shark. God protected us as we were swimming near by. My dad also took the big boys to 2 minor league baseball games.  It was a lot of fun!!!

You know you are a military dependent when....

.....this picture happens much in your life. (Having lunch on containers cause we haven't received our household goods yet)
....you are happy when the day comes that the movers are there to box up your stuff.
.....you are happy when they put your boxes of stuff on a moving truck.
.....you are even happier when they deliver your stuff to your new house. :  )
.....your 2 year old says which house is that mommy?(and the poor kid really has no clue where he is taking  a nap) 
.....your husband says the military decided we need to stay one more year in Florida then we will move...then he comes home 2 weeks later and says ummm...they decided to move us. We leave in 2 months.
.....you are excited to drive onto a base and feel comfort being there. (Its normal to you)
.....you are excited to shop at a commissary and breathe a sigh of relief that you don't have to stress about buying groceries for your family. (Especially with 3 boys)
.....you are even more excited to buy cereal at the commissary and almost cry you are so happy!

So, this move I have finally felt like a military wife. I have been a military dependent for 13 years now and I have felt great comfort from the military way of life. It makes me laugh. But is true.

Here's some more pics....we are settling into our new house and have started homeschooling. Nathaniel is at a preschool 3 days a week. That was a hard decision for me but has been good for all of us. The preschool is close to our house. Kids have started swimming as well this week and enjoying it. Boys start soccer also....so, life will be getting real busy. We have found a church as well which we are very thankful for.
