I really need to keep this thing updated more!

Hi everyone!...
Things here have been going pretty good...Emilie is doing her speech therapy meeting at least once a week...So far we are tackling the results we want to achieve...This week though, we will be starting the whole speech thing...She has a hearing test to do on Wednesday and then they will be coming out on Thursday for her appointment...Part of me kind of hopes that maybe she is just not hearing well because of the wax problem she had as an infant...Then they would put tubes in and the problem could fix itself...I of course hope her hearing is fine though because who really wants to put her baby under to have the tubes put in!??...Not me!...I worry enough with her!...She is trying though!...She says more words now but it is still a struggle to get her to try to say them...I think it is because she gets sick of always being asked to say something...I would too if I were 2 and everyone just kept wanting me to say random words LOL...
Pete and I are doing much better...The stress of Germany has really impacted our marriage but we are going to get through it...We love each other and both want to be together...We know that once we get back to the states it will be easier...He is working 12 hour overnight shifts here so he is gone by 4:30 5pm, gets home around 6:30am and then sleeps until 2 or 3 then starts the cycle all over again...I have been overwhelmed with Emilie, the house, and school...Then when you add not seeing my husband or spending time with him it really takes its toll on a marriage...But we will get through it...We have been together for 5 years and married for 4 on Thursday...So we know we will make it...
I am getting REALLY excited to go to the states!...We leave in about 54 days and I can not wait!...We are not sure where we are flying into yet...We are planning on trying for any of the bases on the east coast and then driving to Charleston...I think that will give us a better chance at getting a flight the day we want...Then we will be in Charleston for a few days before heading to Orlando!...Petes mom will be coming to Orlando with Lydia on June 8th so we are really excited about seeing her!...I talked to her mom Kristina and she is more than ok with letting Lydia stay after his mom leaves until Pete leaves the end of June and then I will drive her back up to Toledo...It is so nice that we get along like that!...I am excited to be spending 3 weeks with BOTH my girls!...They are going to have so much fun!...
Well I am going to go watch a movie with doddlebop and hope she crashes early since she ran at the park for a few hours...
I will update again soon!
