This past week Kendal was on alert, so Thursday was his last day at work for the week. We got ready for a nice long, busy weekend, until Thursday morning he came home very early. I asked him why he was home so early and he said he just wanted to be with Kennedy and I so he left earlier than normal. I really didn't think much of it and layed the baby down for her nap. I went to take a nap myself because I had a pounding headache. Kendal decided to come with me and right as I close my eyes he says, "babe, I have something to tell you." I said..."where are we moving??" and he said "WE aren't moving anywhere" and right then and there I knew what he was going to say.
Kendal has recieved orders to South Korea for a one year by himself. He is scheduled to leave in early August. Needless to say, my headache did not go away by any means and we both spent almost the entire rest of the day in tears. What a way to start out the weekend! As of right now, our plan is to rent out our house, I'm going to move to my parents up in Ohio, and we'll figure out the rest in the months to come. My heart is absolutely crushed and I keep asking myself how in the world I will spend an entire year with out my bestfriend by my side? I am so sad for all of the precious time he will miss out on with Kennedy. I am so thankful for technology (cell phones, web cams, etc.) For right now, we are spending every second we can together and focusing on all of our attention on our family. We are trying our hardest to not think about the upcoming months just yet and staying positive and enjoying what little time we have left together.
We stayed very busy, as usual, this weekend. Friday night we went out to dinner with Brian & Andrea and Jamie & Uriah (and the babies) and then headed over to the coliseum for Kennedy's first hockey game! We had a lot of fun, but had to leave in the second period because Kennedy had spit up all over herself about 5 times and the last time was all over my hair! I did manage to snap one picture of her, but she wouldn't take her eyes off the ice and look at me!

Saturday we were very lazy all day. All three of us stayed in bed all afternoon together. Watching cartoons and singing songs. We just wanted to have a quiet afternoon, just us! It was so nice. Later that evening we headed over to our friends, Jess & Chris' house for dinner and to meet their new puppy, Khloe! She is a Sieberan Huskey and absolutely adorable! Kennedy spent the entire night giggling at her while Kendal chased her around! We can't wait for Kendal to get back from Korea so we can settle into a newer bigger home with a yard for a furry friend of our own someday!




Sunday morning we woke up bright and early! We had planned to meet a few families from Kendal's work downtown. The men went on a 17 mile bike ride around the city while all of the wives and kids strolled the market and had lunch!

Getting ready for a nice stroll in the park

Kendal, before he got a flat tire in the last mile of his ride (oh and families, notice the shorts and t-shirt and the beautiful palm trees behind him...were thinking of you, while you are all up north FREEZING!)

At Water front park

My girlfriend, Aubrey, has the most adorable, helpful little 5 year old, Kylee. Anytime any of the babies cry or whine, she drops whatever she is doing to run over and help! I swear, I would hire her to come spend a day with me! Anyways, Kennedy kept fussing and wanted to be held, because she was really tired. So Kylee asked me if she could sit in the stroller with Kennedy and help put her to sleep while we walked around. Sure enough in less than 5 minutes, she had that little baby of mine snoring! She earned TWO quarters from me today for all of her help!

I sat her down in the grass for the first time ever and she didn't know what to think of it! She would touch it and then look up at me with this terrified look on her face! Eventually, she liked pulling on it and feeling it between her toes!

After our long afternoon downtown we headed over to Brian & Andrea's for family dinner! Thank you guys so much for cooking! We really enjoyed it! Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Back to the daily grind! Love you all!
