Ohhh has it really been six days since I last updated?
Let's see: We have a report date - February 20th! Dh and I have to talk tonight about details. How much time he wants to request off, when to leave, DITY vs Army, etc. We should be leaving sometime in early February, I think.
He will be re-enlisting sometime in the next couple weeks. We think on Wednesday, but we can't be certain. He thinks he is re-enlisting for 5 years. I wish the bonus hadn't been capped, because if it hadn't we could get more. Oh well. I am just glad that we are getting something! We're going to be freeing up about $300/m from paying off the stuff we're paying off. That makes me very happy.
Xander turned two years old yesterday. I have a few pictures that I need to upload. I made him a Spongebob cake and he loved it. He also loved his presents: two teenage mutant ninja turtles (the weapons I took away, simply because I think they are too little and he could choke. He just loves turtles) a turtle sewer lid thrower (papa lol) and some coloring books, more crayons, and a winnie the pooh wooden train set.
We had to take the bunkbeds apart due to Xander's climbing. I took the ladder away, hoping that would keep him out, but it didn't. He learned how to climb up the side. *sigh*
Two is so not fun. I'm exhausted all the time he just drains me! I thought Jamey was high needs... Jamey has nothing on Xander.
