Unemployed!

Well, everything went very smoothly today. I don't feel even a tiny bit sad about losing my job. I will miss the people, but I have most of them as friends on myspace so whatever haha. Noah's doing well, still not talking! He's getting closer and closer, though. Sometimes I swear he is talking, but he's not speaking English nor Spanish... maybe it's Spanglish haha.


I sorta want Josh to switch jobs and take us back to Monterey, CA with him. I go back and forth on it. If he took Spanish I could help him and there probably wouldn't be that much pressure. Plus he's prior enlisted and won't have to go through all the BS training crap I had to go through. I just don't want to put a lot onto his plate right after Iraq. BUT!!!! If he does go to Monterey he will surely not be going to Iraq for at least another year. Guaranteed. It would just suck if we moved to California and then ended up coming right back here which is pretty likely. But, dang... LOOK AT THIS PLACE!!! Why wouldn't I want to go back?!

Our lives are one big question mark, a few random timeframes and a lot of waiting. We're cool :) I am just looking forward to our roadtrip. I will have to share it with everyone sometime. We're driving up to Kansas to visit Josh's relatives and then over to Ohio to visit mine. Along the way I've plotted many a fun stop, all of which are optional. We will be on our own time. Just the 3 of us. Awesome. Here's a recent Noah picture... it's a bit too bright, but I love it anyway. I've been lazy with the picture-taking recently. I think I was too stressed out waiting to see what was going to happen with my job.

Ahhhh finalization. This picture illustrates my mood. Hey, Brit. You can add this one to your portfolio! ;) hehe just kidding. You took this that one day we skipped school and went to that mansion in Pennsylvania. Fun times fo' sho' back in 1998? maybe '99. Remember the car almost died because we left the lights on? Aaaaand... remember digging for pennies so we could get McDonald's hamburgers? And remember the really creepy guy in the park!!! Dang. Good times. Good times. But, I still hated High School! ;)

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...
