Family Reunion & Great Grandmas

This last week I spent most of it at my grandmas. Which is Addy's great grandmas. She loves her great grandma. She sings, makes her giant meals, has lots of fruit, (Addyson's favorite thing in the world), and bought her a new princess potty and a bunch of other goodies. We love them for letting us stay with them until we get our own place. Which is going to be soon. Josh got a job at the mill in our hometown. I never thought in a million years I'd ever move back, but its just for now. So we can have a home again, and be normal and not live out of a suitcase anymore. Josh will be making $60.00 more than he did in the NAVY every two week and he will get medical. We plan on moving to Lewiston area soon, and buy a house maybe. I'm excited for all the new things going to be happening. Its been stressful, let me tell ya, but Josh and I have a stronger love now, We've been through so much but at the end of the day we cuddle in bed talking about all the things that have happened and how happy we are now. One of those new things is we are getting a new vehicle. Well, used but new to us. We moved to Idaho, Idaho gets lots of snow, and our big ol' Magnum isn't going to do very well in five feet of snow. I'm excited for that. Because I get to pick a new car out as well. Yup, we haven't decided fully but two new (to us) vehicles. Now going back to the subject of my Grandma. She is the best woman I have ever met. She taught me how to cook, manners, and much more. She has always been there for me, especially through this hard time. She lets me cry, she comforts me, and she always makes the best food and goodies. I am so blessed for her and my grandpa. I love them beyond words.
Yesterday (Saturday July 23rd) was my family reunion. My uncle and his five kids (3 adopted 1 grand child and his son) all came up from Boise. We had a fun night, more like CRAZY night for the adults trying to get everyone settled for bed. They were so exited to go to the lake. Our family reunions have down sized a large bit. Many people find excuses not to go, but who can pass up boating, seeing family, seeing cousins play, and eating wonderful food?!? I just don't get it. I enjoyed it so much. I love hanging out with people I haven't seen in 2 years thanks to the NAVY life. Addyson loved playing with her 3rd cousins. (I guess that's what they are) My cousin Jen, brought a blow up pool for the toddlers. Addyson was a major lounger in the pool. I was happy they brought that so I didn't have to take her on the lake. Josh was breaking in his new work boots ($200 big ones) so he didn't care much for going out swimming. I enjoyed it. Nothing like floating and chatting with some good family. The second time we went Josh and I both went just to ride around the lake, while my mom watched Addyson. It was a fun week/weekend. Lots accomplished and lots of fun!
