Catching you up to speed

We are more than half way through 2008 and there have been so many changes and more to come! Before I move forward with posts, I'm going to fill everyone in on all the changes. Lets see, where to begin...

1. After eight years in South Georgia, we are being re-stationed to Okinawa, Japan. Kadena Air Base to be exact. Wow! That was a shock. We are set to report there 29 August. I'm both excited and sad. I'm excited to be experiencing a new place and culture, but sad to be going so far away, and leaving so many behind.
Here are some pictures of Okinawa I found online. The photographer was Eric Stricland. How pretty!




2. We had Olivia! She was born on May 7th. She was 8 pounds, 8 ounces, 21 1/4 inches long. She is beautiful and healthy. Labor and delivery went well, although she was 5 days late. Her full name = Olivia Grace Ellis




3. I'm not working anymore! Well, at least for right now. I'm staying home with Olivia. Once we get settled in Okinawa, I may look into working on a base there. But this won't cause any problems with my licensure, and come December I'll be fully licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor!

4. Mike was promoted to Tech Sergeant! I'm so proud of him!


5. And of course you all know the NY Giants won the Superbowl!! Mike includes this as one of the great things that has happened this year, so its only fitting that I include it in this post! As you can see, Olivia is already a fan.



I think that about covers everything!
