The Journey Continues

It's amazing when you are living with an 18-month old...how much they can change in just one short week. I just sit in wonderment watching all of his new tricks.

If any of you have ever been in a car I am driving you probably realize that I am a cautious driver, according to my husband I am too cautious, but if you ever have rode in a vehicle with him...well...that's not saying much. :) It's often that when I'm driving with my husband in the car I have a "backseat driver." The majority of time I am told when to go or to speed up, etc... Since Hunter has really begun to mimic everyone he has picked up the go, go, go that daddy likes to say to mommy when she's behind the wheel. So now, not only do I have my husband to contend with, I have my son who likes to tell me how to drive. No sooner do I turn the car on, and the boy shouts "GO, GO, GO" My favorite is when I'm approaching a stoplight (red nonetheless) I get "GO, GO, GO!"

Another funny thing that the little man has started doing is calling me Wrara (Laura). He doesn't do it all the time, but when I'm in the other room he will yell out my name sometimes, as opposed to mommy...

Some of you know that I am going back to Texas this week for an Exclusive Job Fair for the district that I worked in this winter. Jebb and I are hoping that something pans out from this, as I have always wanted to teach and haven't had the opportunity. I'm very excited and nervous about the event as they will be interviewing here as well. I'm also taking Hunter with me, so I'm dreading the trip from here to there (Alaska is far away for those of you that are geographically impaired and think that Alaska is down my Hawaii. Believe it or not there are those people out there..) But we will get to see Gramma and sleep in our own beds for a couple of nights which will be oh so nice. Oh and by the way, any suggestions on keeping myself and Hunter sane on the trip would be much appreciated. I haven't flown with him by myself since he was 11 months old...boy have things changed!!

So say a little prayer for us, for our journey and that something positive does come out of this trip. We'll keep you posted!
