Catching Up

Hellooooooooo... to anyone out there! I've done an AWFUL job at keeping up my blog and have decided that I am going to blog everyday from now on. (Who wants to help keep me accountable)
I've decided that I may not think my life is very exciting or that the things we do on a daily basis will interest anyone, but who knows, maybe it does. So here we go...

A TON has happened since I last wrote, 7 months worth of stuff, so we will do a quick rundown on major events... and from now on, you will get up to date West Adventures!!

January- I turned 25!! We also went to Garmisch, Germany for a week. Bubba got to snowboard and Monkey and I enjoyed the snow and LOTS of German food! On the way home we stopped in Brugge, Belguim and ate waffles, fries, and chocolate!!! We also saw some beautiful scenery! It was a great trip and so glad that we got to spend the week together :)

February- Bubba started in the Alarm room so we didn't go anywhere as we got used to his new schedule (for the next six months). We also started looking for a new house to live in. We loved our house and living on base, but it was super small for all 3 of us with Colin's new jumperoo.

March- Monkey is moving and groovin... or just crawling. ALL OVER THE PLACE. He picked it up so quick, one day he was somewhat inching along and the next I was chasing him around the house!

April- MOVING DAY!!! We found an AMAZING house in the village of Littleport... it's 3 bedrooms, and the downstairs has an open floor plan! It's PERFECT! It's 25 mins from base and the drive is on a somewhat major road, so it should be gritted in the winter and I won't be afraid to drive... well maybe I won't.

May- Aunt Kyla came to visit!! We were so happy to see her and have her stay with us for a week! We had fun going to see Ely Cathedral and it was gorgeous. We took her to all the little tourist places in our area. I think she had lots of fun.

June- WE ARE GOING HOME!!! Well... at least for a month! If I do say so myself, it was great :) Monkey had a great time visiting with his Grammy/Granpa, Nan/Pop and all his other relatives. He also got WAY spoiled.. I know they were all making up for lost time, but geeze! :) The kid is definitely loved. He also started standing up on his own, and got 4 teeth!! That's right FOUR!!!

July- Unfortunately we had to leave everyone behind and come back to England... and unfortunatley we missed the England summer... Fall has arrived :( I don't really know why I'm complaining since it was 150 in Texas. Bubba and I also celebrated our 4th anniversary this month. Can't believe how fast the past 4 years have gone!

It's now August and we celebrated Bubba's 23rd Birthday. We also went to the Wayland show, which is a British Stockshow. It was really interesting to see the way the British do things. We had lots of fun :)

As you can see the past 7 months have been fun in the West Household. Hopefully the next 5 will be just as fun :)
