The past ten weeks have flown by since our last post! Let's see.....we bought a house in North Pole and move in two days. We put an offer on it way back in May and have waited for the sellers to find a house. Out of all the many houses we looked out, this is the only one we both fell in love with immediately. We will live about five houses down from our pastor. They have a little girl a few months younger than Johnnie. I'll be watching her Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and doing a pre-school program with them.
After much prayer we decided to enroll Jackie at the base school (at her request). She tried out for JV football cheerleading and made it! We have such a great school. She is very excited. She just found out today that her braces will come off on October 6th!! Oh, the joy.
Kaylee is playing tennis again for the school this year. She had her senior pictures taken on Monday, and they turned out beautifully.
Scott moved to a new squadron last month. He's first sergeant at the Logistics Readiness Squadron (LRS) and is even busier than he was before! He has just three more classes to complete before he graduates with his bachelor's in management in March 09!
I've volunteered to be PTSA president this year at the school as well as heading up this year's graduation bash (an all-night lock-in for our graduating seniors). Jonathan and I are preparing to fly to Seattle in September. Jonathan gets to meet my side of the family, and my friend, Sherry, and I are going to walk the Susan B. Komen 3-Day, 60-Mile breast cancer walk. This will be the second walk I've done; the first was four years ago in Maryland. I quit my Kraft Sales Rep job a few months ago because I was working too many hours. I took over the stocking for a couple months over the summer until they could find someone else, and tonight is my last night. I'll be looking for another part-time evening job when I get back from Seattle.
And Johnnie.....he has grown like a weed! He is the cutest little guy I've ever seen, and I'm not just saying that because I'm his Mama!! His loving and very curious personality has come out in full-force. He keeps our entire family very busy! :) The boy climbs like a monkey and fights sleep like I've never seen. Whenever he starts to get the least bit tired, he starts running around the house in circles with a big grin on his face. He is more fun to watch than any TV program!
Our new phone number and address are:
Scott, Julie, Kaylee, Jackie, and Jonathan Watson
1005 Chris Turnaround
North Pole, Alaska 99705
(907) 385-0970
God has just blessed us so much this year!! We are humbled and oh-so grateful.
Talk to you soon.
