Fort Hood, Texas.

So things are kinda sorta starting to wind down. Trent's family came to pick me up on the 19th and we went to get the uhaul and it took forever. The people there didn't know what they were doing and it was really frustrating cause we had to get going and we had people coming to the house to help move my stuff and if we werent there I was gonna feel bad. So i had to call everyone and tell them not to come for another half hour. Kristy was so irriated. I'd say borderline mad. Ha ha. We finally got back home and started packing everything up. Mom watched the girls for me. It took about 2 hours and we were done by 12:30. So I said goodbye to mom and she didn't cry. I was surprised. Patty came to say goodbye too. I was sad but excited at the same time to be heading to Texas to be with Trent.

The car ride was long. Holy crap. And with 2 newborns it made it even longer. But all in all the girls were really good the whole day. They slept the whole time, only waking up to be fed. I guess the vibrations of the car kept them asleep. Which was nice cause i got to catch up on my sleep when Miranda and I werent playing games on her ipod. :) We stopped at Russell Stovers and got some chocolate and walked around to stretch our legs. Finally around 11 that night we stopped somewhere in Oklahoma and spent the night. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

We got up around 6:45 the next morning and ate breakfast and then headed out. We were on the road by 8 and drove til around 1:30. Finally we got there! I got out and gave Trent a big hug! I was so excited to see him! We started unpacking the uhaul and taking everything up to the apartment. Once everything was out we went out mattress shopping and then out to eat at Applebee's. I was so freaking hungry. So after we were done we came back home and then Trent and his dad went to go buy the mattress we picked out. It was a nice memory foam one. :) I was pleased. lol. Kristy and I started unpacking everything and pretty much had everything put away by the time they got home. THe next day we went shopping and got everything we needed for the aparment that we couldn't bring with us. ANd then we got grocery's as well. His parents probably spent a good thousand dollars on us. I felt so bad but so grateful for everything! We came back and went out to lunch at Casa Ole and then went out to shop for a car. I didn't think we were even going to get one anytime soon. I thought we were just looking to get an idea of what we wanted. But I ended up finding a Toyota 4 runner! It was red and a 2003. I loved it instantly. So yeah, his dad ended up buying it for us. HA! AWESOME! I was thrilled ! So after that, we came home and unpacked a bit more and his parents ended up leaving that night so it was our first night on our own and it went pretty well.

The girls are doing great. Trent is learning day by day what it takes to take care of them. I don't think he expected it to quite be as much of a challange as it is but he'll get there. :)

Anyways, we have a lot of things to get done today on base so that's all for now.

finally done packing. :)

My goodness life has been crazy lately. I've been working diligently to get everything packed up and ready to go. I feel like life is blowing right by me cause I'm always so busy i dont have time for anything. :( it's exhausting! I finally got everything packed today though. Sister Allen took the girls for a few hours for me while I got the rest the boxes taped up and ready for tomorrow. I got to see some of my family before I leave tomorrow too so that was nice. I know I havnt gotten to see everyone though and I'm worried some people are going to be mad at me for it. But I can't help it...I tried.

The girls are doing good. There starting to sleep a little longer now which I'm loving because I get to sleep longer. But like everyone, some nights are better than others. I guess it just depends how much I feed them. I tried experimenting with it and they do actually sleep longer so that works for me :)

I can't wait to get down to Texas! I'm so excited! This is all new for me and plus I miss Trent like crazy so that'll be great to have the family together again. :) I'm just not looking forward to the long drive and packing everything up. blahh but oh well. Trent got our apartment yesterday so I'm excited to see what it looks like too. I know it's a small apartment so it's not anything exciting but it is to me...it's my new home now. My mom on the other hand is really sad to see me go and I don't blame her at all. But it's just really hard on me cause she's guilt tripping me saying how im taking her grand kids away from her. I really don't have a choice and she knows that but it hurts me that she's not more supportive of me moving to be with my family. She doesn't want to be around me and doesn't know if she's gonna say goodbye to me tomorrow. If i know my mom i doubt she'll miss the chance to say goodbye to me but she's gonna cry her eyes out. I promised her i'll send pictures all the time and I'll be back again in June for my cousins wedding but she doesn't seem to believe me or says thats not good enough. Well, sorry that's the best I can do for right now. :/ I'm going to miss her too. She's my mom and I love her. I just really hope she'll be okay without me.

Anyways, I need to get going to go pick up the girls. So until next time....

Already a month old..

Can you believe it's already been a month since the twins were born? I can't. Geez. There getting so big already, and finally fitting into all their clothes. haha. There becoming a lot more vocal too...well, i call it vocal. It's more like little cooing noises and grunts but i think its adorable. They both, especially Alyssa, snort whenever they get excited or mad. It's so funny. they sound like little pigs. And Alyssa does this long one where she sounds like a horse. I love it! Shes getting to be quite the big girl. last doctors apt she was exactly 8 pounds. haha she has such a big belly and eats like theres no tomorrow. Savannah on the other hand is a bit smaller but she's been eating more lately so shes starting to catch up to her sister. She has a ways to go though haha. As of yesterday i started dressing them in newborn clothes instead of preemie onesies. They finally fit! I was thrilled. I have all these adorable outfits i recieved from my baby shower and now i can finally use them. :) There looking more and more like daddy everyday. It's so adorable but at the same time looking at them makes me miss daddy.

So Trent finally got his orders, I don't remember if i mentioned that or not. Were moving to Fort Hood, Texas. I've never been to Texas before, so this will be a new experience for me. I'm so excited to be getting out of Missouri finally and be with my own family. I miss Trent so much and it's so hard to be away from him and raising the girls. Granted my mom is here helping me but it's just not the same. I miss my husband. He's adjusting to being on a new base. I think he likes it for the most part but he has in-processing for the next few days and I know it's boring for him to sit through classroom lectures all day. That would get really tedious and annoying so i understand where his frustration comes from. Him and I both can't wait til he gets information about housing and everything so he can finally bring me and the girls out. I can't wait to get out there. I know he misses his girls as much as I miss him.

Well, that's really all that's going on right now. Alyssa is laying next to me snorting in frustration because she's hungry and I'm still blogging...so I guess that's my cue to go. Ttfn! :)

So this past week has been pretty chaotic. Trent quit Rangers because we were worried about me having post partum depression...which i think i might of had but since he quit and we've been talking about getting to be together again my spirit seems to have lifted a little bit and Trent feels like it was the right decision to quit. Of course I still feel guilty about it cause I know he quit because of me but he said he doubted he would of made it anyway. Now he's just waiting to get his orders and see where he gets sent and where our new home will be :) I can't wait to be back with him and be together as a family. I miss him so much.

In the mean time i've been packing up all my stuff and getting it ready to go. My room is a complete disaster and it's starting to annoy me cause i can't stand all the clutter and crap everywhere. But at the same time seeing all the boxes packed up and ready to go makes me feel better because i can see how much i've accomplished. :)

Trent got his orders today, were going to Fort Hood, Texas. I'm excited to start this new part of my life with my new family. I've never really been to Texas before so this will be pretty exciting for me. It's about 60 miles north of Austin. but at the same time, i'm kind of nervous to be going there because of the massacre that just happened there not too long ago. It's really stressful on me though trying to get everything together and ready to go all while taking care of the girls. Mom is a big help and watches them during the day while i pack and then sleep. The girls are only 3 weeks old and its making me really nervous having to travel across the country with them at such a young age. I wish Trent was here to help me with the moving and packing process but ah well what can ya do. I just can't wait to get down there and be with him.

The girls are continuing to grow by the minute. There so big. haha I mean that in the nicest way possible. There just becoming little chunkers. I still think they look so much like daddy. Im wondering if as they get bigger there going to start looking like me. Who knows. :)

Anyways thats about all i feel like typing for right now. Time to put the little ones to bed. Night all.
