Hello Monday!

Sitting at the computer with a cup of coffee, a clean house, laundry done until mid week, and a quite house, well until the boys wake up! This Monday is starting off great! 

This weekend was a low key weekend for the Sandberg's. Not doing much of anything other then renting movies and playing out side. The weather was pretty nice, not in the 90's like i wished but hey thats okay im used to it.. Its Germany for that matter, but the weather this summer has been better then the last 2 summers while being here. 

Nathan and I have been doing alot of thinking about whats to come for us in the next few months at Spangdahlem and at our next base. NEXT BASE!!!!! OMG so next month the rumor has it, we will find out what is open for us!!!!! but Nate says we still have to wait to find out what we get until around Oct. but hey i dont mind i just want to know where we could be living next so we can start some online house shopping!  not like we have not been doing so already, but this time we wont just be picking a base and looking at homes around each base! 

So I got the Job!  my job title is Recreation Aid. I have a feeling its going to be a pretty easy job. Im not sure when i start but im heading to the NAF office today to fill out some more paper work and then maybe they will be able to tell me when i start. 

Its going to be hard taking the boy's to a babysitter but i think its best for them and myself. 

Well this quite time is about to end, got to get the kids up and ready to head to daddy's work. 

looks like the sun is out to stay today! maybe the park will be where we are most the day! 

Have a good Monday! 

working mommy?

So after being in Germany for 2 and half years i have wanted to work, but was not ready to take the kids to day care. The time has come and i started looking for jobs just for fun to see if i would even get a interview. I got the best job offer for myself. working at the hotel on base, i say its the best job because when i do go back to school i want to go back for hotel management, and one day own a hotel! While working at the Holiday Inn in the states before moving to Germany was the only job i loved durning my working years, and i thought it was a great career field for myself. It was what i could see myself doing and would love ever min of it... 

Well i got the job, the lady wanted me so bad until i told her about our vacation in Sept. then telling me im sorry i cant take you on my staff, witch is very understandable. why train someone for a month and then have them leave for  month. I was down in the blue's about it, i just knew that job should have been mine...  Nate keeps telling me something better will come along..

after getting calls from Aafes about jobs, and telling them no im sorry thats not for me... i get a call from the Naf office about a job at the community center/brick house! I really would like to get out  and work again. So i really hope that the interview today goes good. i told them right off the bat, about our trip in sept.  it did not stop them for asking me to come in today. so i hope it does not stop me from getting the job... It's really no loss if it does stop me because its not like we need me working, im just doing for some time out of the house. 

So wish me luck that will give me the job (even with me leaving for a month in Sept)

mommy's little note about the boys:

roy no longer sits in a high chair, he sits in a booster seat at the table. It makes him feel like a big boy! So yesterday he was coloring at the table and i walk out of the dinning room to get Wes something and i come back and Roy is in Wes high chair coloring away. so last night at dinner time i say you wanna eat? like i always do and he ran right into the dinner room  got onto a chair and then into the high chair and did the same thing when he got up today for breakfast!  I wanted to share because i thought it was funny! 

Here we go now!

Im starting this blog, because it seems like every family has one now a days so i thought the Sandberg's better catch up to date with the real world! 

Nathan and I have been doing really good. just sitting back enjoying some Apple TV and our pet Fish! well thats in the Quite time we have while the boys sleep! 

Roy (now 28 months) is a busy boy. Talking, running around saying all kinds of words. coloring and even getting his 2 year molars. he loves the color orange and never stops saying it. 

Wes ( now 18 months old) is just as busy, after trying to get him to walk for months he started when he 15 months old.  now he is starting to learn how to run. its just getting crazy around here! Wes is also teeth, so its not pretty when the little guy is hurting... He is starting to say words too, but also like Roy, only when he wants too... Wes said Mouth last night, almost made me cry... they grow up way too fast! lol

We are getting ready to take a trip back around the world to where we came from! We plan to take a Military Hop back to the States for the whole month of Sept! having no idea how everything is going to plan out is really pretty fun! we only have 1 month and 1 week left until we head back to the states. not looking forward to the 9+ hour plane ride from Germany but its all worth it when we get there!  We are all so happy to get to see Grandma & Grandpa Sandberg and the dog's & Grandma Edwards! and maybe even get to see the Birth of Roy and Wes' new cousin Baby Meeker!!!! thats if the little guy is ready to come out early! his due date is not until Oct 7th. Note for baby meeker: Your Family in germany want to meet you b4 they head back, so please come out of your mommys belly early!!!! thank you! 

 so much we are looking forward too! 

not long after getting back from the month long trip in the states we should be finding out what Base we will be heading to next!!!!! and then PCSing in Feb!!!
