Wow. So it has been almost a year since I have updated our blog. So many things have happened. Christmas, a new dog, trip to Texas, quitting job, weddings, funerals and birthdays…
So last year we got a new puppy in September, a Siberian husky named Koda Sky Blakeman she is a big, fluffy dog with so much energy. She keeps Britain and us on our toes.
Thanksgiving was small; Andrew and I enjoyed our first Thanksgiving alone and made ham, green bean casserole and deviled eggs.
Christmas was great, Mike, Jackie and Jared came to visit, we went to London and other wonderfully fun places around England. They also celebrated New Years Eve with us.
Andrew was sent to Aviano, Italy for 3 weeks to help with setting things up. Shortly after that Rebekah quit her job at the CDC to become a stay at home student. She is only 2 credits away for her associates and has changed her bachelors to Art history; she wants to major in Photography.
Andrew's birthday was goo, he was off work for a friend day. He got a video game that he wanted and a new wallet. He enjoyed his day.
We took a trip to Texas for Lydia’s Wedding and Jared’s graduation. Both were wonderful. Jared graduated on the honor roll and more. We are so proud. Lydia and Brett were married on June 4, 2011 and are beginning their married military life together. We wish Jared, Lydia and Brett all of the luck and all of our love! It was wonderful going to Texas and seeing everyone, but there is no place like home. When we returned home we made a video of Lydia and Brett’s wedding and are very proud of what we accomplished while doing that.
When we returned home, Rebekah got to witness the beauty of childbirth with her wonderful friend. Madalyn a beautiful baby girl was born on June 20. What a wonderful gift!
Rebekah (me) had a wonderful birthday, she got people magazine subscription, Keurig coffee maker, scentsy, donut maker and more. Thank you to all, especially Andrew who made my day so special, by making me a cake. I love you! Yes I am spoiled and have a wonderful family and husband.
On June 28, Rebekah’s grandfather Trent Campbell went to be with God after his wonderful life. We will always have such found memories of him walking me down the aisle of my wedding, bringing us cereal in bed while we watch Nickalodeon in his huge bed. He used to tell us not to lean on the leaf, he was my buddy, He made me a train that is called the Princess Express, that is what he always called me, “Princess Rebekah” I will miss him more than words can describe, but I know that he is in a much better place.
So lately Andrew and I have been trying to travel, but that is not going well. We went to Grimes Graves this weekend. And this coming up weekend we plan on going to see the new Harry Potter 7 Part 2 in 3D in Bury St. Edmunds. Andrew is taking an oceanography class and is doing very well in it. I was taking College Algebra, but that was dropped when I realized that I am not a math person. I will be taking a college mathematics course soon. We are both very into taking pictures and have taken numerous amounts. I will be posting our best photos on facebook as soon as I go through them.
Andrew did his shooting for the military today and got a 38 out of 50, I am so proud. I am going try and start to update this blog more often when something interesting happens.
We wish all of our families our love.
Lydia and Brett enjoy your move and don’t stress…things will be over soon and you will be together in YOUR home.
Mike and Jackie congrats on selling your Wichita Falls house, we are so happy for you!
Kelley we love you and you are in our prayers.
