Welcome to our Blog!

This is a new experience for me. I have never done a famliy blog and always wanted to. We are currently living in North Chicago and my husband is working for the Pre-Seal Team Training Center at Naval Station Great Lakes. We are in base housing and will be here until January 2012.
We are still unpacking after being here for a few months in base housing. It seems like for years we carted so many extras along for the ride and now finally have to face the music and get organized. We have given away bags and bags of clothing, toys and other miscellaneous items. It is beginning to feel like freedom. Where ever we end up permanently will be so much easier knowing we are not carting around junk.
Our new ward is awsome. For those who are not aware of the term "Ward"....it is a geographical lacation of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We go to church according to what area we are in. Several Wards are part of a Stake. For the life of me I cannot remember what our Stake is called. We are in the Gurnee 2nd Ward. Scott is now the Ward clerk and I have been asked to teach Relief Society once a month. Megan was baptized when she was 8 years old and Madeline will be baptized in a month or so.
We have been "Homeschooling" our girls for a couple of years. I always thought we would send them to public school later in life, but they are pretty adament about staying home until they move on to greener pastures. We'll see what the future holds.
