Kadena Denied

SO.. we've been so busy trying to get everything done with orders and etc. so that we can get the Air Force to move our things and I could go to Altus with Dan for his training. He was suppose to leave this weekend but we didn't have orders yet or approval from Kadena so I was going to stick around and figure all that out and then go join him in Altus. Well, this morning we got word that Kadena actually denied us because of Callen's medical condition. While we weren't completely surprised because we knew it was a possibility we are still a little bummed. I was really getting excited to go to Japan we had even gotten Rosetta Stone and were trying to learn some Japanese. I even organized my house getting ready for the movers with things separated for long term storage etc. At least i'm glad we didn't sell our car yet!

So basically right now we have no idea what we're doing and where we're going. All we know is that it's not Japan.


Yay for unexpected hiccups, life is full of them!

Leininger Update

Ok... so I know it's been awhile, we have been so busy! Just as a super quick update... We had a great Christmas break! We went to Iowa to visit my family for a couple weeks and had a great time!

Callen got this turtle from Grandma and Grandpa leininger and she LOVES it!

she was very interested in the new baby calves at Great Grandma and Grandpa's Farm

We visited some friends from high school and their little boy Jobe, what a cutie!

Even cosmo got into the Christmas spirit.. well kinda

Cruise!!

After christmas Dan and I left Callen with my parents and went on a carribbean cruise for a week! It was amazing! We had such a good time, we went down to Progresso and Cozumel Mexico. At progresso we went to the Mayan ruins and to salt flats and a private beach and then to the flea market in town. Then at Cozumel we went clear water kayaking (the kayak is clear so you can see through to the water and see all the fish). And we also went snorkeling which was probably my favorite part, the water was so beautiful! I couldn't believe how nice it was! We ate Way too much but it was so worth it!

when I went back to Iowa to get Callen there was no one sitting next to us so she sat in her own seat and played, she was so good!
