So.. I know it has been forever and I can't really even remember what I wrote last! So.. I guess I will try to update you all as far as I can remember...
Sterling finally got off night float, went to family med and decided to change his major to Family Med. We had 2 weeks of not knowing if we were staying in Hawaii, going to possibly Germany, Italy, Japan, etc. and Sterling being deployed soon after the move to being notified that they were transferring him to Washington State. The day after it was official, Sterling was on break and we flew out to Washington, met up with a realtor that Sterling had called the day before and looked at approx 15 houses. We then flew back the next day and did Dakota's birthday party. After the party our Realtor called and said that they house we really liked had an offer on it and did we want to counter. We decided yes, and countered. They accepted our offer then next day and Sterling left the next day to camp. I started filling out the paperwork and then we got it all faxed. In the middle of this, we ended up removing Hunter from school and beginning to homeschool him. Also, I continued to plan this fabulous wedding for a client/now friend of mine for the 30th of May. The week before the wedding, Kristjan got bit by a dog and ended up pooping blood from the antibiotics, Hyrum, Sterling's brother arrived to help me and visit and I had a lot of errands to run for the wedding. The week of the wedding, we closed on our house, we traded in the Miata and are now leasing a Acura TL, and finished the wedding details. The wedding was one major event. I was the photographer, planner and florist. The bride was super busy and a little delayed at making a few decisions so the day before the event, the ring bearer suits arrived (overnighted), I had to make a new ring bearer pillow (one didn't arrive), cut the table runners, decorate and hang fabric and beaded curtains from the sides of the tent, make 70 centerpieces, buy and cover 150 chapsticks, buy favors for the guests, make a sign in book(the book didn't arrive until tuesday after), and attend the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. I literally didn't sleep between Friday and Saturday. There is no way that I would have been able to do it all if Sterling, Chloe, and Hyrum wouldn't have helped me! Poor Sterling had just worked a 30 hour shift from Thursday to Friday and still helped me set up on Friday, then helped me photograph on Saturday and had to work another 30 hour shift from Sunday to Monday! We were all exhausted by the end of it all. So here it is Saturday again I am just now finally feeling like a normal person again! I am flying out to Washington on the 20th/21st. The kids, Sterling and Chloe are flying out on the 29th to Washington and then we will all drive to Utah for the Brodniak Family Reunion around the 1st of July. I will try and attach a few pics of the house and the wedding and stuff.
