Easy come, easy go.

I'm so ready to start babysitting again on Tuesday. It's been nice having just my two kids to spend time with, but we really need the extra $100 I get each week from babysitting, and she's really a good kid. Her and her family have been out of town on vacation for a couple of weeks, and I believe they get back this weekend, so I think I'll be babysitting again on Tuesday. I can't believe my son, Gavin, turns 3 in just 2 and a half weeks. We haven't gotten any of his presents yet, or decided when to have his party, or anything. Not that there will really be much of a party, probably just us and maybe one or two guys Jeff works with and their families. I'm happy Gavin's not old enough to really care about that stuff. I feel bad cause his first two birthdays we were in Nebraska (well we were visiting during his 2nd birthday) and had tons of people and a nice big party, all me and Jeff's families. Now, nothing close. Ugh. But, when I was at the grocery store today I went and looked at the book of different theme cakes near the bakery, and they had the cutest Toy Story one I'll probably be ordering for him! He'll love it. And he's so obsessed with wanting to blow out candles now, I might get trick candles so he can keep blowing them out lol. We'll see.

I'm just so ready for it to be December. Jeff is getting an early promotion, which is so amazing and well-deserved because my husband works amazingly hard at is job. He will sew on for Senior Airman on November 2nd, but it shouldn't show a change in his pay until the first paycheck in December, and he'll also be getting a bit extra money cause he hits his two year mark on November 3rd I believe. And apparently once you've been in the air force for 2 years you get paid more. I did not know that until recently, but am very happy to hear it. We definitely need the extra help, that's for sure. I'm hoping with that extra money we might finally be doing better than just surviving. That's the goal.

And, Jeff put in for an overseas short tour to Korea for a year, and we should find out if he got picked for that on November 3rd, the day after he sews on senior airman. I know a lot of people can't understand why I would want my husband to be away from us for a year, but if he gets chosen for that, you *normally* get to pick your follow-on base. I only say normally because the air force can never 150% promise you anything lol. And if that happened, me and the kids could move to Offutt AFB, which is located in Bellevue, Nebraska, where we're from and our families are, and hopefully we'd get that as our follow-on base and Jeff would just be able to go there when he's done with the short tour.

I'm really rambling a lot. I apologize. OH, Becker's going to be visiting me on November 24th - November 30th! I'm so excited, I can't wait to see her and have someone to hang out with! lol. And Jeff is trying to get that week off of work so me and Becker can actually go out and do stuff on some of the nights she's here instead of sit in the house and watch tv the entire time lol.

There's really nothing else too exciting in my life to talk about right now. Soooo...I guess that's it for today's update. Adios.
