Catching up/changing blogs

This is my new blog site I guess...still trying to figure it out in all that spare time I have...HA!!! I have a blog on the yahoo 360 page, but I can't do as much as I would like with it so I am attempting this one. I thought about using typepad like Becca (Hi Becca!) and Terri (Hi Terri!) and I might just do that in the future, but right now I am going to stick with the FREE one. :>) Well school has been going ok, we have been doing it for almost 3 weeks I think, I know all of you in Georgia are past that 4 week fog...or however many weeks it takes to get back into doing schoolwork. We are using Tapestry of Grace this year and I am really liking it, although it has quite a bit of reading and that certainly isn't Tyler's favorite thing to do, I think we are learning alot more than we have in the past (of course this means way more work for myself also). Our average day is way more than the 2-4 hours we had been doing it...I am still trying to iron out all the kinks and get things running a little more smoothly. Maybe by the end of the first unit I will actually have a "set" schedule of events. Tyler has been going to the rec center with his grandpa and lifting weights...wow...he is pretty strong. I told him I was doing 30 lbs on the machines for my legs and he laughed at me...smartie pants...I think he was doing over 100 or something but it was alot more than I can do. He is also running on the treadmill, when he came home and told me I was like...WHAT??? You are actually exercising, total shock set in. Jim is doing well I guess...we miss him here and can't wait until he is done with this tour. He is looking at retiring more seriously than he had been, I think he has been putting in alot of applications everywhere around here that he can. I am not sure though that I want him to retire. I certainly don't want him to deploy again but part of me feels like I am losing my identity. I got used to army life and seeing different places, meeting different people and now that he is ready to get out I am not sure that I am. But whatever he wants, if he isn't happy at work then we won't be happy at home. I guess that is about it for catching us up...I will continue to post my blogs on both this and my 360 page until I get this all together.
