Well, Alexis is growing and changing every minute, I swear. Just last week she finally got the hang of crawling, and today she sat up by herself :). I was so excited, I started saying Yea, yea, and Alexis got a big smile on her face, and clapped her hands together :). She is getting into more and more each day. She loves the entertainment center, and our cords from our batteries that hang off of our laptops. She also is really loving the mirror. She looks at herself and laughs, and tries to lick herself, instead licking the mirror :). I am already half way done with my two classes alreay and getting A's in both of them. I am very happy with that. I registered the other day for two more that start at the end of August, Business Ethics and Human Resource Management, my advisor said they shouldn't be too stressful with the move to Maryland during these classes. Alexis and I will be back in Iowa again this week for a highschool friend's wedding. We will also go to the Bremer County Fair, and I am taking Alexis to the scrambles. I wish she could participate, but her Daddy might not be too happy if we brought home a bunny :) lol. She will also get to see cows, chickens, sheep, and all other kinds of animals. I wish she could grow up in the country and be around a farm. :) See many of you this week.

New changes everyday
Hello all! Miss Alexis is in bed, actually in bed for an hour already. I must have worn her out today. We went to Wal-Mart, and the commissary with my friend Rosa. It was a nice trip, but very hot here today. I think it was about 95 out, and it is still 90 at 8:40 PM! Alexis is getting better and better each day with her crawling. Last week she still wanted to roll to get her toys and move around the living room. Now she is army crawling, as well as getting up on her knees and moving forward. She realized she could go into the kitchen so she goes in there while I am in there cleaning or making a meal. Today she found the hallway, and made it to the coat closet which is about 4 feet from our main door :). I scared her when I went to get her, and said "What are you doing", and she just looked at me. Tonigt for supper I made her her bottle, and I hadn't changed her yet, but I made the bottle first which I should have known better because once she sees that she grabs for it and goes nuts. So I gave her the bottle, and told her she had to hold it if she wanted to eat while I was changing her, well she took it, held it, and fed herself. Wow, it is about time :). I am still going to feed her at night before she goes to bed so I can cuddle with her before she goes to sleep :). Ryan practiced today at work with a mock board to get ready for his board August 5th to get promotable status for Sgt. I just registered for two more classes that start August 28th, I can't believe that I am almost half way done with my current classes now. It sure has gone by, I can't imagine how I will feel when I graduate! :) I can't wait. Not much else is new, Alexis is changing everyday, and it is fun to be there for it all. We will be back next week for the Bremer County Fair, and a friends wedding. We might see some of you. Have a good evening.

Life as I know it now
Well I think that this will be the easiest way for our family and friends to keep updated with us, as we get ready and move out to Maryland. Everyone is welcome to come and visit us anytime. :) Right now it is quiet, and I have time to relax. Ryan is keeping busy with work (it is very hot here), he is studying for the board in August (he is up for promotion to Seargent), and getting ready for our relocation to Maryland.
I am keeping busy with Alexis, she is growing like a weed. She is rolling, and crawling all over. She also tries to pull herself up on things, and says Mama and Dada, and has two teeth on the bottom. I wish she would get some hair :). I painted her toes for the first time last week, and she was awake while I did them. I am also keeping busy with school, yes I am back to school, and going for accounting.
I am also getting ready for the move. We have decided to move ourselves, so I am starting to go through our stuff to see what we don't really need anymore. Maybe I will have a garage sale, or take it all to Goodwill. There will be stuff they need more than I do.
I am also trying to get used to the fact that I won't have two of my closest friends just a walk down the stairs and a phone call away. All three of us go everywhere together and have the best time together. I am really going to miss them. I know we will keep in contact but there is nothing like being able to have eachother right then and there when we need eachother.
I have been back to Iowa a lot this summer, and will be back one more time, and then will be back there for quite awhile before we move. Ryan leaves August 9th for Alabama for a month, and I am going to see family for as long as I can before a drive no longer cuts it to come home. We will have to buy plane tickets next year to come home :).
That is all for now, hope you enjoy. :) Goodnight!
Love Ashley
