Hey guys. Here is my first attempt to blogging. Boy I am moving up in this technical world. I feel old and outdated because I am not hip to all these new things (Don't tell anyone but I don't even text!).
As of June we have been in Monterey for 1 years. We have at least until September 2009 here. Soon we will be looking into all the places the Army can send us but until then we will continue to explore the West Coast. In the last year we have explored our area and we have visited Big Sur, CA, Disneyland, Tahoe, CA and many trip to San Jose, CA. We have many different plans for the upcoming year especially with family coming to visit soon. Stay tuned ...
As for ourselves, Chris is hard at work studying and getting his masters degree here at Naval Post Graduate School (NPS). I think his real degree will be Space System Engineering. I am working 3, 12 hour shifts a week at the local hospital (Yes, I work all night!). After that there is a few moments to enjoy some time with family and friends. We have a great military community here and enjoy many cookouts on the lawn while the kids run free. Ashlyn is doing well here. She loves hanging out with all the kids and plays every opportunity she gets. The beaches here are quit chilly. I think the average temp for the water is 58 degree -- what a change for us. But we do get to go out to the beach on the sunny weekends and enjoy playing in the sand. Carmel beach is a very family/pet orientated place so we have to get a dog to fit in. So we have expanded our family past Ashlyn and the two cats to include a 75lb golden retriever mix that we got from the local SPCA. His name is Bailey. We had to rescue him. He was surrender to the SPCA due to his owner's death (how sad it that).
I can say blogging wasn't as hard as I imagined. Hopefully I will continue and will get family updates on here in a timely fashion.
