Planning, planning, planning.

Goodness, I am not a planner, but a bit avante garde as my mom frequently reminds me. While that is not always true, I am finding myself having to plan things that I typically wouldn't and I hate it! Dave Ramsey has encompassed our life, remember? He is a firm believer in not using credit, which means the Boynton's pay cash! Always--well, we aren't quite there yet, but I actually paid cash for groceries yesterday AND for gas. Who does that??! Christmas is also coming and that means alot is in store for us. We'll likely be moving to a different house--OUR home as in owned by us. We won't be paying cash for that ;)
We'll also be travelling ALOT! Christmas markets are gearing up and we are off of school. So, where to go, what to do, and how to fit it all in our budget? I've been scouring the internet, reading blogs, looking for deals. This is the agenda thus far. It looks as though we will be heading to a few different markets-- Rothendam, Nuerenburg, Ruedesheim, enjoy the Christmas castles on the Rhine River, and perhaps wrap up our holiday travels with a trip to ROME! Yahoo! We've been going back and forth about where to go and what to do, but I think that is it. Our house won't be going anywhere. We can unpack a bit each day and maybe by summertime, we'll be settled, but Christmas Eve at St. Peter's Basilica is a once in a lifetime experience even if we aren't Catholic ;) I cannot wait. 6 more weeks!

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

4 months

We are potentially down to our last four months in Korea. I say "potentially" because it rests solely on where we are going. If we are heading back to the States, we will most likely be leaving early June so that we can enjoy a full summer with family and have time to get settled before Claire begins school. We caught wind today of what could be our next assignment. Although it is far from official word, all of a sudden my tummy is filled with butterflies. I had the privilege of teaching a little first grade girl who was one of a set of quadruplets. They (she and her sisters) are the most delightful little girls. They are well behaved and truly beautiful inside and out. Anyway, their family was due to PCS (military move) in December. I teased her that I was going to follow her and live down the road. While they were house hunting, I continually asked if there was a neighboring house for me. She'd laugh and giggle, not really sure if I was serious or not. Her Mom thought

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???
