Everything's up in the Air

It's been a while since i've even thought about this blog. Since then, the pregnancy has gotten easier and the nausea is gone. That's wonderful news for me. We've also had a lot of changes in our lives. Hyrum did not make it through Nuke school. So he's being sent out to the fleet as airman undesignated. That's basically the worst thing that could've happened. So we've been ordered to go to Virginia Beach, Va. He'll be stationed at NAS Oceana attached to an air squadron. I REALLY don't wanna move to Virginia Beach. That's the worst place that we could've been sent in my opinion. I'm so not staying there while he's deployed. The crime is terrible. The housing is outrageous. I'm optimistic about one thing though. He's still able to pick another job in the Navy as soon as one opens up. He's eligible for his petty officer in September. Hopefully that's when he'll strike for another A school. That means hopefully we'll move somewhere else quickly. Virginia is for suckers.
Anyway, as of now the kids and I are in Ocean Springs with my grandparents while Hyrum is getting airman training in Pensacola. I'm glad I didn't stay behind in Charleston, Sc. I've really enjoyed the help with the kids. We've already been here longer than we were told. But, i'm learning that's the Navy way. So I have no idea when we'll be moving to Virginia. Most likely we'll be in Va mid May.
The past week has been really tough. I'll be attending my second funeral in a week tomorrow. I'm not good at funerals at all. I fall to pieces very easy. Being pregnant on top of it all doesn't help. That's probably why i've been really tired lately.
Only 3 and a half more months till the new little one is here. I'm not sure if i'm ready for a newborn to be thrown into the middle of all this. It definitely wasn't in the plans for all this up in the air stuff to be in our lives. But, I guess it keeps life exciting right?
I don't even know if this blog makes any sense. I'm too tired to re-read it...
