#Oneexcitingchapterending#whirlwind3months#newchapterbeginning!

Hash tags (#) seem to be the newest craze, we use them on Instagram (which I am now a part of Mariadaughtry8), they are available on Facebook, and Twitter(haven't made it to that cyberland yet) seems to be a place of only hashtags. I am sure Blogger is next so I thought I would be trendy and incorporate them now... for those of you who think of hashtags as confusing I will make them headers! ( bridging the generations!)
# One exciting chapter ending

Here we are graduating the CBCC. They did it! Read through 12 books of the bible  many times over and did about 30 to 40 hours of outside class time work. Being the school leader was amazing! I had the opportunity to witness their understanding of the word and see how they practically began applying to their lives. I worked with great staff and hope to do it again sometime in the future.
# whirlwind three months
 I thanked my family for allowing me the time to do this. I would not see my family on Mondays and Tuesdays, my husband did most of homework time with Kieva everyday, as well as cook, clean , and laundry . Did I mention he was rebuilding a house and office on our base as well? In this time Kieva finished the second grade and couldn't wait for summer.My mom flew in to help us care for Kieva and what a blessing she has been!
On the same day as graduation last week we began painting the new little apartment we are moving into! We moved most of our stuff on Friday and are trying our hardest to finish this task! 
#New Chapter Beginning

Here's our  new beautiful view from our living room. We are right next to the mountainside and can hear the creek gurgling at night. A whole new perspective of the base we have been living on for the last 4 years! 
Our now adventure is trying to get home for the summer to see family. We have not been back to the mainland for 2 years and want Kieva especially to see his aging great grandmothers. Step one has been accomplished as we have been gifted 2 tickets purchased with miles but we need 207.00 to pay for the fees. We have been cleaning a home once a week for almost 2 years now but will not have that income when we are gone. Bryan will wait for 2 weeks and continue working on the base and with side jobs so we can pay for our monthly expenses and for our trip. If you would like to be a part of helping us get home, renting or borrowing a vehicle , etc please let us know.
