Love Struck - Andrew & Makenzie

Andrew's pretty smitten with his little g-friend Makenzie. She's 3 months older and they are already a couple...fighting then making up and having little dates at the zoo. So sweet! :-)

I made this Smilebox to send to Mak's mom and she thought it was great!

Big Change in 2012?

We start another new year in Arizona for the 8^th time, but I predict 2012 will mean big change for Team Burch. Jeff is putting in his paperwork to try and get back in the Army Active Duty. What that means is a “Full-time Army, they move you where they want you, live/work on post and have the chance of being deployed” type of lifestyle again. And really we only lived this lifestyle for a couple years at Ft. Riley in Kansas. And now the big difference is we have Mr. Andrew.

I have been amazingly calm and not worried or anxious about the possibilities of our move, but now that the new year is here and things are starting to happen, I have to admit I’m getting a teensy nervous and anxious about waiting to see what will happen and not being able to make plans for the upcoming months. I try not to worry until there’s something to worry about, but I HATE not knowing exactly where I’ll be the rest of this year!

We are aware that we’ve been pretty lucky the past 7-8 years with Jeff working as a deputy and then getting short-term Army National Guard jobs here and there. Now with changes coming fast, it’s scary, but I know there are exciting things in our future coming with the challenges.

So many what-ifs, but I’ve accepted military life and I’m going to make the most of it!
