So it's been a while-

and a lot has changed. We are now in our new apartment in Fairfield; Steven is now 2 years old; my dog is now very fat because he ate too much cat food. I could go on and on, but I won't to spare you all from wasting a few precious minutes reading it. Anyways, we are finally getting settled here in lovely Fairfield, California. We have a small one bedroom apartment, but Richard likes to refer to it as a two bedroom without a living room, lol. It is not big, but it does the job. It is nice to know that we are finally living within our means and trusting the Lord to work out the details of the future. For the first time in a long while, the light at the end of the tunnel is so bright that we cannot ignore it. It is amazing to me to see what the lord has done in our lives. We are still living paycheck to paycheck, but there is hope for that to change- and some day soon! After working with his recruiter in Santa Rosa for two weeks Richard went in to his squadron expecting to start work. He was surprised to find out that he had an extra 8 days of leave to find an apartment and move. Since we were already moved into our apartment we spent that extra time together as a family exploring our new surroundings. This place is much different from home, but it is a nice different. There is a lot to do and we are starting to make some really great friends. We are excited to finally find a church where we feel comfortable. Tomorrow we while try a new church, Parkway Community Church. We have heard good things about this one so hopefully it will be a good service. Last weekend we had Steven Mark's 2nd birthday party. I cannot believe my little bug-a-boo is 2! The time has gone by so fast. We had a little party at Pam and Steve's house. It was really nice to see all of them together in one place again. It had been a very long time since Richard had seen them all. Well here are some pictures from the party. Hope you all enjoy them and I'll try to be better about updating this thing. I've been so busy! I guess we all are though so I'll stop trying to make up excuses; I'll just try to do better :)
