change of plans

well as of about a week ago kayla and i decided to pack up our house and put everything in storage to come home to indiana while brandon is deployed for 13 months. we didnt want to leave the nice weather and our house but since we will be having to move anyways we thought whats the point. so we will get to see a lot of you for over a year. brandon leaves for iraq in mid january but will be home for a couple weeks over christmas to say bye to everyone.

my parents were also out in cali for a couple weeks and we had a blast...brandon didnt get to do much cause he had to work but we went to the beach and a bunch of other places. i havent gotten my pics downloaded yet since we just got back home but i will get them posted as soon as i can. we love you all and miss you. cant wait to see everyone again.

California Wildfires

Just so you all know we are ok and were not really affected by the wildfires. We did leave our house because we were put on standby and heard that we were going to be getting evacuated because there were about 3 different fires pretty close to us. The closest one got was about 2 miles to us. There were no homes or buildings hurt on camp pendleton but a lot of people in san diego county lost everything. We were very fortunate as well as everyone that we know. Brandon was able to take pics of one of the fires on base and i got some other pics online to post. This was the craziest thing we have ever gone through and we really appreciate all your thoughts and prayers.

AAV that kayla also got to walk in
