Singapore, Sea and Sun!!!!

One month down, four to go!!!!

So Darin has been gone for more than a month now. It's always exciting to see the passage of time when he is deployed...just one day closer to when he comes home. He is doing well and seems to be upbeat and positive about his time at sea with the Nashville.

Florida Trip and Family Visit!

The kids and I have been trying to stay busy. We took a trip to FL a few weeks ago with my mom and stayed with my sister. My brother was also passing through Jacksonville FL on his way to Disney World so we got to have all the "Saar" cousins together for about 24 hours. It was a lot of fun for all of us. Then my niece and nephew were brave enough to fly up from FL by themselves for a long weekend to help out with the girls and hang out with Kyle. I think we all had a great time and enjoyed celebrating Travis' 13th birthday while they were here.

It's Official!!!

We finally received official orders to Singapore. We will be moving this July. Darin will be responsible for the base Chapel there, along with other duties I'm not sure of!!! :) It looks like a great place to live and the military will pay to send Kyle (and eventually Grace) to a private school, since there are no Department of Defense schools there. It is suppose to be the best quality of living in the US Navy, according to who I'm not sure!!!! Of course, having Darin's father and brother living in Thailand is a huge bonus (Bangkok is about a two hour flight from Singapore). We'll keep you updated on the move!

Trying to blog more often although I don't feel like my life warrants that much publicity!!!
