Another UPDATE!

Well much has changed in our neck of the woods! We are now living out in Corinne. And get this, I am back living in my old house, where I grew up. We were living in a tiny house, and I could'nt take any more of it, and one day I was coming out here to take my son to school, and saw it for rent. a hah we got it! IT is so much like HOME! We love it. Well, I am feeling like I am quite the receptionist at my house. I feel like I am always on the phone with the VA, or DFAS, or the hospital, and the list goes on. I hate talking on the phone, and you All know how much I love to talk! lol My husband Kurtis, has gotten worse lately with his injury, and it has taken him to the point where he cannot work. We recently found out that he has the TBI, and for all you non military its Traumatic Brain Injury. He has been going down to salt lake to see a neo surgeon. He has really gone down hill, I never put much into mental illness or head injuries until now. I am learning so much. But despite these moments, we are all doing well! I am volunteering at Kayla school, and Turner's school. Really enjoy being a mom! Its my favorite job ever! Kayla is doing so well in school, her teacher recently told me she was reading over 120 wpm. And she is in 1st grade! Turner is loving preschool, and can catch a football while running, he is 3. And Allie is 2, and she is a crazy girl! She has a lot of energy, and a lot of opinion! (don't know where she gets that from :) But she is such a good girl.

On Friday, I did something I said I would NEVER do! I woke up early and went shopping at WALMART! It was such a nightmare, fistfights, and onry women in their pajamas..lol But the SALE ads got to me this year! And despite the horrific scene I was able to get everything I wanted, which was like 5 items! So i felt pretty proud! lol

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Love Amber (Edelman5)

I guess I better update everyone too,

We are getting ready to get a house, the one we are getting is from habitat for humanity so it requires 500 hours (250 each) before we can move in. As of now we are somewhere from 50 - 75 left. We have done almost all of the finish work from mudding and taping, texturing, painting, got the floor ready for flooring, put in doors, trim and baseboard, and we still have to do the final finish (socket covers, window sills, touch-up paint, ect.) It has been a LOT of work but I have enjoyed learning everything. it has been pretty interesting. we are both pretty excited. otherwise nothing much is new with me, I work and go to drill and work on the house and play video games when I have time.

I am better at answering questions then just going on and on so feel free if there is anything I left out.

Time for an update:)

Hey everyone. It's been a while. I didn't get a ton of feedback on the Christmas party but I think we will go ahead and plan it anyway. We are thinking of Friday night, December 27th. So the week between Christmas and New Years. We're hoping that maybe this will allow some of you that are out of town and returning for the holidays to join us.

Also, I need current addresses as I am getting ready to send out Christmas cards. If you could either post your address or send me an email with it (janaeburger@yahoo.com)- phone numbers would be nice too) that would be awesome.

I hope you guys are doing well. We're doing great. Life keeps moving really fast! Pete is hoping to finish his degree within the next year some time. I am working at Syracuse High School and will have my masters this may. Our kids are growing like weeds. I took Lalee to her first prom last night (The Twilight Prom) it was a lot of fun (Pictures above- the first one is Lalee and I, the second is with my neighbors and Edward and Bella (Twilight main characters)).

We'd love updates. James and Lauren- how are the baby preparations coming? Christina- what's new in your neck of the woods? Nathan- how's school? Blen- have you guys bought a house?
