Sweet home AL....

Well down here in AL life is a bit slower paced. We live 3 houses away from Taylor's school, 1 mile away from Sequoia and Zegan's. There are so many kids who live by us, its nice! So many friends to make. It is nice to be living in a small town atmosphere. Jeremy's life is not slow paced right now he is busy in Instructor Pilot course here. It is full of Long days and loads of home work. Luckily it will only be for a few more weeks. Then he will start instructing students to fly the black hawk helicopter.

 He has started an off road club here at FT Rucker, he enjoys sharing his love of the outdoors and challenging the vehicle to its fullest. His Blog is  http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/FtRuckerWheelers/ he has fun with it all. i went off roading for the first time where I drove our new truck. I dented the side step and scratched it all up..... it was quite the experience!............ LOL at least I didn't hit any tree's, there were a few close calls. :0        But it was fun, I am way more cautious than Jeremy, but all the other drivers were patient. 

Jeremy found this kool 1981 land cruiser troop carrier online... so we called the bank to get a loan..... to make a LONG story short.... he found another land cruiser about 8 miles from our house instead of in Florida. So we went to look at it. It was lovely, a bit dirty inside like they had sprayed coke all over. But Jeremy talked them down 4 grand and we bought a 2000 land cruiser. It has tons of room and it is big like a bus. I feel guilty knowing it guzzles gas and is bad 4 the environment. But Jeremy promised me we will get it converted to a better fuel source soon. It is very comfortable, and has great views. Its fun to drive. We have been talking about getting one for a few years now, so its nice to finally have a bit of room for our 5 people in our family. Now we can bring along a friend or two also which is nice. The kids favorite part is the back seat, and that all the seats recline... but the kwlest thing they like is it came will a movie screen. i have been anti TV in my car forever and I still am, but I was OUT VOTED! :)

I am excited to be helping in the schools here, and am looking forward to the fall festival for Zegan's pre k class where they will be picking cotton and peanuts. It will be fun! There is also a pottery studio here on post which is so fun! I am trying to make a set of plates and dinnerware. I also am Taylor's 4Th grade room mom, and am very excited to help with their science projects this year! 

Zegan loves pre k, his teacher is very fun! He gets to ride the bus to and from school... he thinks its a pretty good deal. He is very happy to have our two new kittens... Mrs Skittles and Super Cat!  All of us are enjoying the kittens they are adorable. It's nice to have some babies around here again.

Sequoia is having a BLAST in school! She loves that she is learning Spanish, and music ! She especially likes all the friends. 

Taylor loves to ride his bike around and hang out with friends here too. His school is great. He is running for school council, and is excited!

We are enjoying our time here, we miss the Mt's and the north west, and we miss our friends and family always. We have been lucky to have Jenny and Tyson's friends the Wiess family move to AL, they are a lot of fun and like to adventure and have a good time. It's nice to have good friends close. Well my time is up!  Miss you! Mwah from the Nerd herd
