Everything's bigger in Texas

We are now settled and enjoying Texas very much! We found a fantastic house, in a great neighborhood, we even have a private lake that the kids can fish in and a bike path that surrounds it! However, you don't really want to fish or go to far off of the path, unless you want to run into snakes, yikes! It seems we have the seven plagues here, we caught the tail end of the crickets, yuck, then we had probably twenty toads every night in our yard (have to be careful when we open the front door at night), then we just found a turtle in our back yard that was our pet for a few days! I am anxious to see more. What a fun place for the kids to see all of these cool creatures! The weather is awesome and we are so enjoying it! Brax started school....all day it is a big change for him, but he is adjusting very well. Joz is cute as a button and growing up fast! Ave is crawling, standing up, clapping and saying, "mama." they are all absolutely wonderful! Brett is enjoying being a Dentist. I am so busy, with everything going on, I am now the Primary president and that fills my plate, not only that but involved with Braxtons school, and Brett's squadron, and oh yeah still being a Mom to three little sweeties. I am loving life! It is so great! So sorry it has been awhile since I posted. I will get caught up, but there is a brief synopsis of the Hulet's in Texas!

1st stop

We stayed in Phx with Brett's Mom and Dad for almost the whole month of June, it was so much fun!

Deep breathing

Well after having to take a lot of deep breaths we are finally in one place for more than a couple of weeks, but we are without Brett! We are in Idaho with my family and he is in Alabama for officer training. We are still homeless, we have not found a home in TX. I am crossing my fingers that something pops up in the next couple weeks. The kids are finally getting caught up and on somewhat of a normal schedule. Brax loves being at both grandparents houses and playing with cousins. Joz just loves having everyone spoiling her. Aly is SO loud, a very big talker! She just turned 4 months old yesterday and a few days before that she rolled over all by herself. On Sunday it is my birthday and it is funny how you transition from being excited for birthdays to being indifferent, then later in life I am sure dreading them!
We did so many fun things in AZ with g-ma nana and papa. We had to move our move up because of our Grandpa Armstrong (Brett's Mother's, Dad) passing. He had Alzheimer's, but even an expected death, does not make it any easier. He was a great man. It always gets me a funerals when they deceased was a service member and depending on the branch, what they do to honor them. He was a pilot for the Airforce and was also awarded the distinguished purple heart in his prime. So it was especially close to my heart. It was so good to see all of the family and extended family for this special event.
We next ventured to Ben and Stephs which was a blast. The kids love them and there energy. We went to the lake for jet skiing, of course. I got to try a stand up, which really rocked my world. Brett loved it! Kids just love to play in water and sand where ever they are. Thanks to them for being such greats hosts!
We then finally arrived in Idaho where we are now. Kids always love coming to grammy and grandpa's house. It is always an adventure here! I had my 10-year reunion, which was interesting. I was stag, so that was not any fun, but I did get to show off my kids! We still have other reunions and family coming yet!
I am missing Michigan like I NEVER thought I would. I mainly miss my house, and so many friends I left behind and didn't really get to say goodbye. I cannot express my overwhelming feelings as we crossed into Arizona, Utah and Idaho borders, I really felt the longing I have had to be back closer to home. I miss the environments that are made for families and the safety that surrounds them.
Anyway, that's enough for now.I just had not posted in awhile so wanted to get caught up! I am sure pictures will come soon enough!

Bye-bye

See-ya

Hello
Bye-bye Michigan, hello Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and finally Texas for a few days. Then onto New Mexico, and Arizona stay for a month or so then on the road again Utah to Idaho. Wow, I am going to need a lot of extra sanity, so if anyone has some I would love to take it off of your hands for you! I guess chocolate will have to do the trick and lots of it! We will miss all of our friends and our time here in Michigan. It is so bittersweet, we are all having a hard time. We just miss our home and the many tender memories that were made there.

CONGRATS DR. HULET

Been a long time coming for this hard working man! Words cannot begin to express how proud I am of him! What can I say it is good to be married to a Doctor!

Three peas in a pod

Finish line

As of yesterday Brett saw his VERY LAST patient in Dental school! He is done! I cannot believe it has been four years. He has worked so hard and has done a fantastic job in this balancing act. I am so very proud of him! Graduation is May 7th and he will officially be Dr. Brett Barry Hulet D.D.S, R.N. WAY TO GO!
