<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After reading The Princess Academy by Shannon Hale earlier this year, we started discussing what a princess should really be like. We talked about how they should act, think, look, etc. We made a list of what we would like to be like if we were a princess. We even talked about how we are all daughters of a Heavenly King.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So, Mom began to think about it and think about it and think about it. She had dreamed of doing some sort of fun unit study about princesses since they lived in Hawaii and toured the I'olani Palace. Now things were finally coming to mind to do to make it worthwhile. And then it came to this- a mysterious package was left on the table in the living room this morning:</span><br />

<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So the process began. Since our journey would take us around the world, we would need a Princess Quest Passport. As with any passport, there were forms to complete and documentation to find to go with it.

<br />
And now it is time for everyone's favorite game "Hurry Up and Wait!" This edition of hurry up and wait is brought to us by "The PCS to Belmopan, Belize":<br />
<br />
In July, we finished up most of Ammie's dental work and the rest of Chris's training before our move. The girls had a busy schedule of birthday parties for friends. Elizabeth was even involved in the planning of a surprise birthday party for two sisters who have birthdays in the same month.<br />
<br />
August was both not as eventful but very eventful at the same time. We had family visit, an unexpected dental surgery for Ammie, and three shifts of movers coming through the house. Ammie's youngest sister, Amanda Hess, came for a visit with her three children: Taryn (5), Kaden (3), and Ashton (22 months). While she was out, we all drove up to Atlanta to visit Ammie's brother, Tim, and his children: Landis (11) and Ashley (6). Ammie's mom had just returned from a cruise with Tim and his kids. We had a nice day hanging out together. Everyone even braved the mall to see the American Girls Store. Chris's sister, Norene, met up with us before we went to the mall. Then she followed us back to Columbus for a short visit.<br />
<br />
The next week we were joined by Grammie Long for the work to begin. We had a lot to do to get ready for the first wave of movers. The house was methodically turned upside down as everything that needed to be sent in the Unaccompanied Baggage shipment was gathered into one spot. The unaccompanied baggage goes ahead of us in an overseas move to be there around the time we arrive. We send things like Chris's stuff he needs for work and some household items we want right away for cooking, sleeping, etc. Thanks to a lot of help and hard work, this shipment went smoothly even with various appointments throughout the week.<br />
<br />
Week two of movers started off with an unexpected surgery to remove a tooth that didn't quite get all the way extracted in the first round of dental surgeries. The root was in the sinus, so it was more involved than just pulling it out. After that, the house was methodically turned upside down yet again to discern what was going to Belize and what was staying in Columbus. Whatever we did not take with us down there was going to be put into a long-term storage facility. We were told that we were not allowed to bring furniture with us because the house would be furnished. That made some of the decisions easier. It was a long three days that the movers spent packing and crating all the stuff we were sending to Belize to be in our house there.<br />
<br />
The final week of movers was full of repairs to the washer and dryer before we stored them, follow up appointments, and checking into a hotel. It was far more relaxed in some ways. We also prepared for our last Sunday in the Flatrock Ward. This was hard on all of us. We really loved our friendships we made and the people we worked with. Ammie was sad to say goodbye to her little nursery kids. Everyone enjoyed their last Sunday even with the goodbyes.<br />
<br />
Once September came, things picked up again. There was a week of very hard work on the house to prepare it for the out inspection. The rain made it more difficult to do the outside, but we were blessed to have help from others and to complete it in time. The girls really enjoyed the indoor pool at the hotel. Lili was so excited to see the pool each day as well as swim once a day while we were there.<br />
<br />
The first Friday of September were left for Texas. The drive out was incredibly good. We stopped a minimal amount of times. We were happy to see Ammie's family out in Lewisville. There were birthdays to celebrate the first week we were there and lots of family to say hi to. We weren't able to see everyone we wanted to, but we understand that schedules and health don't always line up. The girls and Ammie all attempted to take a shooting class. The class was rained out, but they are still hoping to try again before they fly out.<br />
<br />
Chris left after a week in Texas. He flew down to begin his assignment at the Embassy. Ammie and the children all stayed behind while housing was sorted out down in Belize. It was a little crazy the week after Chris flew out. Extra family came to visit and add to the fun of Gramma's house. And, of course, with all the excitement and extra people someone had to get sick. In this case, four of the girls got sick along with Gramma, some of the cousins, and some of the aunts and uncles. Lots of time was spent together hanging out and playing with cousins once everyone got better.<br />
<br />
September passed faster than expected. Suddenly it was time for General Conference. We all enjoyed watching Conference. We listened to the prophet's voice and felt the Spirit so strongly. The girls and Ammie actually made it through all four sessions! They haven't been blessed to do that in a few conferences. We cannot wait until we can ready the talks again and remember what we learned.<br />
<br />
With all the time that had passed since leaving Georgia Ammie was anxious to hear about the housing. Everyone missed Chris. Plans were being made for the house to be ready around October 22nd, so there was a little excitement over that. And the girls were all planning their Halloween costumes out and Ammie began the hunt for fabrics. Add to this Sandra's need for help with her costume, and Ammie's list of sewing grew and grew. Elizabeth helped Sandra get the boys' room painted and decorated. The other girls helped Sandra weed out the front gardens and dig a trench for a retaining wall to be put in. All in all, everyone was busy as we waited to hear for sure the house was ready...but for now, we were still waiting...<br />

Back in March/April, we had some great family pictures taken by the <b>very</b> talented Kim Ence at <i><a href="http://whatareyourpicturesworth.com/" target="_blank">1000 Words Photography</a></i>! She did such a great job that we wanted to share them with all our friends and family.</div>

We had a lot of rain earlier this year, and the girls wanted to see what the park looked liked. So we loaded up in the van and took the camera to see how much water there was. Usually, the water is a nice little stream. You could hear the water rushing along as you got out of the van.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We started out the month with all the preparations for Quito, Ecuador, we could make: medical and dental clearance paperwork filed (finally!), traded the van in for a Honda Pilot, Ammie was an almost permanent fixture at the dentist's office getting all her necessary work done, and we were beginning a list of what we would need to get before we left.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Elizabeth and Carolynn returned from Girl's Camp the first of the month. They were exhausted and excited from their adventure. Delia and Bubba were loving their time at Grammie and Grampy Long's house. Lili was so happy to have half her sisters home. And Chris was getting ready to leave for most of the month to do some training in Ohio. Ammie was looking at what to do first in the house to prepare for the move.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chris goes to Ohio. Ammie is at the dentist when the phone rings... Well, apparently, we are NOT going to go the Ecuador. We are going to Belize. Belize? What? Where is that again? Oh, and now that we are going to Belize, our medical clearances came through for Ecuador. (Yay?) Well, ok...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So there you have it! We will be spending the next three years in Belmopan, Belize! It is the capitol. The girls are happy they speak English but a little disappointed not to need Spanish as much as they had hoped to. They cannot wait to see what life will be like down there after seeing photographs online. It is not a large capitol- population around 13,000. And we are not by the water, but we are still close enough to see it in an hour or two. We are ready to prepare for this move now! (Oh, and our medical clearances are good for Belize too- phew!)</div>

Congratulations are in order for Chris! He found out mid-month that he made the cut. He will be promoted to Leuitenant Colonel while we are in Belize. Lt. Col. (sel.) Walker, we are VERY proud of you!! (Enjoy being Major news while you can... hehehe.)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
A week or so after Chris went to Ohio, Ammie and the other girls headed up to North Carolina to retrieve the little ones (Bubba and Delia) from their grandparents. Everyone had a great time on the trip. The little ones had planned a pirate treasure hunt for their sisters. Grammie made clues and hid prize bags so all four of the older girls could participate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was a lot of swimming for the girls, shooting BB guns with Grampy, and shopping at the local thrift/antique stores as well. We found fancy tea party hats to add to our collection of tea party gear. Elizabeth found another old suitcase for her collection plus a pretty jewelry box her Grampy fixed up for her. (It is SO beautiful now!) Carolynn got a new guitar! She is excited because the name of the model is "San Angelo". After a trip to the music store, it is shiny, has new strings and case, and it fixed up great! Delia found a purse she absolutely loves. Bubba got an antique model 1927 Ford. We were able to go to an antique car dealership and look around. Bubba was in heaven! She just loved every minute of it. Lili completely loved the baby kittens and the two dogs as well. She wasn't away when the older two cats came out to play, so she really didn't pay much attention to them. She enjoyed splashing in the baby pool on Grammie's front porch and running around in the rain with Carolynn and Elizabeth. Lili looked for the puppies every morning the first few days home. </div>

We made a footprint stepping stone with Lili's foot to got with the other four girl's stones in Grammie Long's garden. Then, the girls also made a handprint one wtih all five of their hand prints. Grampy got a handprint shirt from the girls for Father's Day as well. It was a great visit.</div>

We weren't able to spend Father's Day with Chris, but we were able to Skype with him. Lili thought this was so neat. She kept trying to figure out how he fit inside Mommy's computer screen. After a while she just decided to show off for Daddy instead. The girls were all glad to see him and talk to him, too. We are all so glad he will be home soon.</div>Ammiemommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17518836909989408638noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341863574972906136.post-43885742350687019172012-06-24T17:36:00.000-07:002012-06-24T17:36:35.351-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Here is our moose. Poor moose doesn't even have a name yet and we have own him/her for about three years now! This little guy is our school mascot. (Why yes, some home schools have a mascot.) He sits on our front porch and has been glued back together after a particularly rough move. I love to look at him. He is so cute.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Maybe I will ask the girls to name him tomorrow? If they come to an agreement on the name, then I will post it along with a new picture of him. We shall see!</span><br />Ammiemommahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17518836909989408638noreply@blogger.com2
