Well its certainly been a while since I posted on here. Hunter is now 6 months and 16 days. :) Its hard to believe how fast time is going!! He is sitting up, reaching for toys, and people and babbling away. He has made lunges to crawl, although he hasn't quite gotten the knee and feet movement down yet. I am LOVING being a mother. It is truly a God given blessing and my calling in life. I feel more complete now..although i know Heavenly Father has more children in store for us down the road. Its a little scary sometimes how dependent Hunter is on me, but at the same time I am elated with the responsibility. Jason has proven himself an amazing father. I love watching him with Hunter. He is the only one who can get Hunter to belly laugh as soon as he walks in the door. Hunter adores his daddy, but its mommy who brings the comfort in the evenings as he gets tired. He reaches for me and then snuggles in for the night. I love it.
Well Jason has been working for Bloom Energy as a Welder. He's doing TIG welding and he really enjoys it. He is almost off of his probationary period when he will start getting his welder's pay. THAT will be nice. We will have a much more comfortable budget at that point. I am teaching Reading at Bishop Elementary School in Sunnyvale and I can't believe I am getting paid to have so much fun! I love my job. I only have to work 2 hours a day and then I can come home and be with Hunter for the rest of the day. Its perfect.
Lately I have been complaining a lot about things in my life being "up in the air." There was a time recently that Jason seriously considered and even tried to re-enlist into the Marine Corps. I have NO problems with that at all, in fact our lives would be a lot more secure if he did, but the most important thing to me is that HE is happy doing whatever it is he decides. After the loss of a dear friend's husband who was Jason's Staff Sergeant.. the motivation ot get back in and go over there was strong. But time and time again Jason would think about how hard it would be to leave Hunter and I. How dangerous it is over there and those emotions battled with his desire to be with his men. For now, he will remain at Bloom Energy and I at Bishop. We are looking at apartments in the area to rent, and save some money to buy a house. I think Jason's drive to get back in the Marine Corps will have strong moments and not so strong moments. I know he misses 3/4 and the guys who were in it with him at that time.. I know if he went back now, it would be different. We shall see. For now, we are enjoying Sunnyvale CA and our family here around us. We plan on flying back to MN for Thanksgiving to see Jason's family and I honestly can't wait!!! I miss them all so much. Especially all my nieces and nephews. :(
