I'm enjoying our "vacation"

and I'm not talking about where we live and all the stuff that comes along with that.
I'm talking about Jake not working and being home with us every day.
Yes he is studying every day but he is HERE!
I feel like I reevaluate our budget every week and every week is sinks in a little more.
Living on savings is hard, but when the alternative is for Jake to work at a job that makes no where close to what he made before it is not worth it to me.
I'd rather have him HERE.
I told him I could live like this through all of law school, I know it isn't possible,
but I honestly could.
So I'll just soak it up for the next four months til he leaves for training in the great state of TX.
Then while he is making a paycheck again I'll save like mad to maybe have him home with us some more after training.
Also, in the back of my mind I know a deployment is a real possibility.
He is no longer in ROTC which means he is deployable anytime after his TX training.
I don't want to feel like I never see him and then him leave for 12+ months.
Well anyway, the point is, I love having Jake here.
I'm not stressing like I was a couple months ago,
I'm happy with life like it is right now...
virtually care-free and still extremely productive

  1. Its so funny..I feel like the time here so far has been way less stressful than when we were in Ut. There we had work, school, and everything else. Here it is just studying and test LoL. But he can study and be at home for that which is way nice. I will probably regret saying it later but, so far MED school isn't too bad.

20 Weeks

Today we had the opportunity to go in for our 20 week ultrasound. We are excited to announce that baby #3 is a healthy BOY! We are excited but have to admit we are a bit nervous. Change is hard and after two girls this is definitely a change. It will be a fun and wonderful experience. I have already thought about little boy ACUs and PT clothes (little army clothes) and what I will decorate the "boy" room in etc. I have always heard boys are "easier" but more rambunctious so I guess we will just have to see. I was excited that during the ultrasound our little boy was crossing his legs at the ankle like both his sisters do! So funny! We will keep y'all posted on names and other developments.

Halloween 2023

 We pulled off our best Halloween!  Possibly ever!  Jake had a vision and it came true beautifully.  He even had the cutest song he sang.  I loved our last Halloween in our Hurst home.  

sometimes life may get you down

but then you remember how wonderful you husband is and it makes it all ok. Jake surprised me by ordering these gorgeous handmade pearl earrings from TINY STORM for me for Christmas and they were waiting for us with all our mail when we arrived back home after vacation. He got down on one knee and presented me with these earrings and it brought tears to my eyes. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful, hardworking, and loving husband who is always there to take care of me and love me when I am having a rough time. Thank you Jacob!
