Well I am going to give it a try as this seems to be one of the newest things out there, so lets see if I can do this. Not much new happening on the home front lately, just every day life. Cali has finally learned not to be afraid of falling off her bike so she has it mastered! She is out riding her bike every day and has even pedaled her way all the way around the 5 mile drive. We haven't seen Sahara since March of this year and we are still praying that we will be able to see her soon. Chris is still in Iraq and his thoughts are of course on his daughter and his job. We know he thinks about us but we also know that he thinks most of the time of his daughter, which is not necessarily the safest thing to do. Cylynnda is currently in San Diego working and enjoying this business trip. She is hoping to be able to have time off to enjoy some of the attractions, the beach, and some hiking. She will resume house hunting once she returns home. John is still working at the naval shipyard and is waiting to hear about travel plans with his job. He is enjoying the promotion and has gotten to travel out of the country several times. John, Cali, and I spent the 4th down on waterfront close to home. It has become a tradition to walk to the waterfront and watch the fireworks. Just can't get the family to agree to doing much else on the fourth. Me I like to try to view other displays but majority of the votes wins (lol). Later on this month John, Cali, and myself will be taking a trip to Oregon to stay on the beach for a few days and then will return home, other than that we do not have any major plans to escape this summer. This is due to me having to wait on some paper work which I have been waiting on for the past several months and yet to receive it. Excuses, excuses, excuses, so hopefully this month we will have it taken care of. Well I will post more as things happen and maybe some pictures as well.
