As I sit here diving into a bowl of peach pie a la mode I think back over the last couple of months since my last up-date. I think I will just start where I left off on my last post. So we put the house on the market and it sold literally a week and a half later, I have to say we were really, really lucky. The buyers wanted to move in before Paul finished up at work so he just roomed in with a neighbor while Taylor and I stayed with Mom and Dad in Mississippi for the month. During that month we did a lot of fun things with the family like playing with her cousin Drew, welcoming the newest addition to Smith clan- Cameron Harris, and lots of swimming and riding in Grammies super cool wagon.

For those of you who don’t know, we got an assignment to go back to Columbus, MS where Paul will be an Instructor Pilot. We are both super excited about this because Paul will be home almost every single night and we will be back home with my folks for a while. It’s just such a blessing not only to know that Paul will be home and safe but to also be surrounded with family again.

On the first of July we packed up and made our way to Texas for Paul’s training (more on that later) and on our way we made a pit stop at Paul’s parents where we spent the 4th holiday with them. Both of Paul’s sisters and their families were able to make it out which is rare because we can’t ever get the whole family together at the same time. So we are in San Antonio, TX for the next 4 months and it’s so awesome. Our living situation could be better but we both know the Lord has us here for a reason. We are living in a one-room dorm on base that has a bed, a chair, and a desk. So we have Taylor’s mattress in the bottom of our only closet and our bed is literally right next to the door. No kidding, we can actually hear her sleeping…. Thank goodness she is a hard sleeper! I think she has already adjusted to us talking and moving around. There is no kitchen just a small fridge and a sink. I refuse to eat out everyday for the next 4 months so I bought a toaster oven and an electric skillet. I’ve learned you can cook just about anything in either of those. Other than the room situation we have it made. We are in a wonderful area with so many things to do. I have a handful of random pictures over the last two months, enjoy.
