New Jersey....

Well, New Jersey is a lot different than what I had pictured. From the apartment, we look into a cemetery where I am fairly confident I saw someone dig up a grave...no not dig one, because they filled it up when they were done. Our apartment is HUGE! We have a full kitchen, a deck space and lots of room. No roommate while I was in town, but hopefully Andrew will have someone to hang out with soon, or I'm going to have to come back much earlier than expected. All is well with Football, but not much else going on. We spent some time in Manhattan on Friday. We had a lovely day walking around some of the neighborhoods, seeing the site of the World Trade Center, and had an amazing dinner with all of my bestest high school friends!!! I'm headed back to be with the family and puppies for a few days before I head for Seattle to visit my grandmother & more family!

On another note, I have developed a very small bump of a belly that i cannot hold in anymore and I commonly refer to myself as a marshmallow. Andrew calls me muffin top to annoy me, because it looks nothing like a muffin top...it's a belly.
We miss & love you all! Love, A&K
From Our Manhattan Trip:

Germany Naval Ship

we got "A SAM!"

We are packed and ready for storage.....Andrew had a week off and was able to come see all the great work I did packing. So I also let him move all the boxes into our storage box! So fun! Thanks to my dad & Karen for helping pack and my mom & brother for helping us load up the storage box. Couldn't have done it without you. Now we are all ready to store our things and head down to Phoenix in a month to look for our NEW HOME!!! Hopefully we'll be successful, otherwise we have a lot of stuff stored for, well, no where?

All is well in our world right now. Baby is healthy and we have our second ultrasound June 1st (Happy Birthday Sally!). Andrew will be training in New Jersey until June 18th and I'll get to visit him a few times, but in between visits Oscar, Copper and I will be living it up with my parents! And as my brother, Nick, so fondly puts it, I am partially employed, pregnant and living with my parents. Oh well, I'm happy!
So excited to see all my New York Friends the week of May 10th, Kari & Erin May 23rd and all my Phoenix Friends June 25th(ish)!!!! Love you all and our prayers are with you!!! Love, Andrew, Kat, Baby, Oscar & Copper
