Moving day!!

So we survived our very first army move. We have always done dity moves before. I'm pretty much a control freak so I liked it better that way. But four kids and a lot of clutter later....the movers were pretty nice to have. 

Few tips I learned for next time: 

1. Ziplock EVERYTHING!! People suggested this but I didn't realize they really meant ererything! Every draw, cupboard, bin, basket, box, etc! The rooms I had done were packed and loaded so much faster. 

2. They won't pack lotions, liquids or candles to name a few. And I learned I had a lot of all of those! Wish I had started using stuff up sooner sowe weren't left with so many things they wouldn't take. 

3. Get a hotel for the nights you are moving. I think tle will cover this but either way, worth having a place to go back to. 

4. Label all the rooms so they label the boxes the way you want them

5. Use trash bags to keep clothes clean and organized. 

6. Relax and be prepared to be bored...haha! 

Welcome to Fort Bliss

Can't believe our time at fort bliss is over! I was not thrilled when I found out we were headed to El Paso a few years ago....but we really grew to enjoy it! Met some great people and had lots of good times! 

Here is a picture of the kids shortly after we arrived....look how little they once were! 

And here we are now! We added one and everyone grew several sizes! 

Random updates

So since I "missed" like 2 years of our lives I figure it's not too late to recap. So I will be writing posts from some things we have done over the past few years...for my own sake! They might be out of order but they are just some highlights that I don't want to forget.

Starting with moving to El Paso, tx! Jordan got stationed at fort bliss so we have been here since 2011. This is the only "home" Berlynn, Coleden, and Maddie have known. We have made some awesome friends and had some great memories! We will miss fort bliss!!
