Finally...a blog!

I have been wanting to start a blog for some time now so everyone back home can keep up with us. Being in Germany away from family is a hard thing, especially now that Savannah has been born. We are coming home in December and can't wait! We are sooo excited!

Updates on us...

I am almost finished with my last class towards my master's in secondary ed. and I will be student teaching in January 2010. I can't wait...I should get word on if I was placed at the high school here in Heidelberg in the next month or two. I'll keep everyone posted. I am resigning from my job at the elementary school in December to work on finishing my degree. I could take leave without pay and go back when I finish student teaching, but I am just not happy there anymore. I've decided that I will stay home with Savannah after I finish student teaching and watch a couple kids as an FCC provider. I am working on getting all my paperwork done to become a provider and can't wait to be home with Savannah during the days, even if it means watching a couple kids to make some extra cash! It will be WELL worth it!

Cory is doing good and working hard. He starts another class towards his bachelor's this month...I think he's taking Government, but I can't remember for sure. We are still waiting on his information to be processed so he can reclass and go to school for a new MOS. The waiting and waiting is starting to get a little old and we're hoping something happens soon!

Savannah...well she is amazing. She is such a sweet little girl. We have been incredibly blessed from the start with her! She has such a vibrant little personality and she is always so happy! She is talkative too and I can tell she is going to be incredibly opinionated, just like her mommy! She will be four months old on November 2nd and it just blows my mind how quickly she's growing. It was just a year ago last week that I found out I was pregnant with her. Wow...it was such an incredible and scary feeling. Now here we are with the most precious little girl we could have ever asked for. She is a total daddy's girl....as soon as she sees Cory she starts cheesin...it's a little ridiculous! She has her days though when she just wants mommy and I enjoy them when they come! She just had rice cereal for the first time last night and her reaction to it was so cute! She liked it and we'll try again tonight and see how it goes! She is teething and is a little bit more fussy than usual. If you rub her gums with your fingers she just sits there with her mouth open and enjoys it. Poor baby...I know it's gotta be irritating and painful for her! She has also learned a new octave to her voice and it's like a little screech/squeal that keeps getting higher and higher pitches. She's a mess but she's our everything.

Well...that is all for now!! Mommy duty calls!!!
