The First Blog :)

So here goes my first blog... excited?

I have been meaning to do this for quite awhile now and it would have made much more sense if I would have started writing blogs years ago with being away from "home"...but better late than never right?
As most of you may know..we are starting our process to move back to Indiana. I am SO excited to finally be moving back! It has been a stressful month with trying to figure out moving plans and having Ben figure out all he needs to in order to get out of the military. I don't even want to go into detail with the annoying process that Ben has had to go through to get out. We are nervous and scared about being out of our "comfort zone" that we have had with Benjamin being in the military. We are glad that so many people have been supportive and sad to say that we have had to hear stupid comments from ignorant people about "falling flat on our faces". We are very aware that it is about to be hard and insurance, jobs, and school are going to be way different now..but that is life.. it's what people do! Ben luckily has a job lined up and will be starting school in May, so I am excited and relieved on that part. I still have 7 or so months to go on my Associates degree, so I am excited for that and ready to figure things out for us.
Jason has been a little on the slower side with talking (not mentally...just stubborn) He talks completely fine, just not as many words as he should, but our nephew Alex was the same way and is just now talking more too so we have not been too worried. He has learned 3 new words in the past 2 days, so I think I was just overreacting with being worried about him not saying enough words. He has a hearing test scheduled for tomorrow morning just to rule that out while we still have insurance. I know that he hears just fine, the doctor just said we should rule this out first. She is not too concerned at all because he is where he should be with everything else.
We are planning on going to San Francisco this weekend for the first and probably last time. We are going to Alcatraz and just wanna see a few other things while we are out here. This is also for our anniversary.. so we are killing two birds with one stone. I am hoping Jason will do good with the 7 hour drive, that way I can relax a little bit with knowing we will have to do a 30 hour drive in just a couple weeks. I will be sure to post plenty of pictures of our weekend trip!
