The Stickley family adventures started in Hawaii in 2005 when Cris and Emilie were married. The real excitement began in May 2008, when Nova was born. 2 short months later, our little June-Bug joined the family from all the way in Vietnam. The next few crazy years included Emilie being deployed to Afghanistan, while Cris and the girls moved back to Hawaii, then a long year of living apart (and a lot of trips across the Pacific Ocean), while Emilie remained in Colorado to complete her Army committment, and Cris had to stay in Hawaii for his job at the University.

In the summer of 2012, little Jude joined our family, and the whole gang reunited for good in Hawaii!

Follow our adventures, as we try to keep track of life with our 3 crazy kids, while keeping our friends and family updated on the happenings here in Hawaii!

toledo and chicago

we have embarked on our big trip....unfortunately, the trip starts with me in chicago, and cris+girls in toledo. I am attending a 5 day OB/GYN Board review course, while cris gets the girls settled in with Aunt Coral and the gang before we head to Costa Rica. it's actually working out to be a perfect plan because the girls will be all settled and comfortable when it is time for us to leave them for the first time. I would be extremely nervous about leaving them for a week, except as of now it appears that they are having such an amazing time with their cousins i don't think they will even know we are gone. yesterday i tried to skype with them, and juneau was like "hi mom.....uhhhhh...i gotta go play". so, it appears that all is well :) which i so sooooo nice, because it means i will really be able to relax in Costa Rica without having to worry a bit about them.

the board review is good. as good as sitting in a hotel conference room listening to lectures for 11 hours straight can be. Today we had to get out of there a little early and go shopping at target b/c we were about to die. hopefully that rejuvinated us enough to make it through all of tomorrow's lectures.

i guess that's about all the excitement for now. not sure if we will be ableto post from costa rica or not, but i am sure we will have lots to post when we get back.

Good luck with the review course and boards! I remember how awful mine was--and I am sure it was much shorter and less intense :)

Have a great time in Costa Rica! You are so lucky to have family to watch the girls so that you get some time alone together before you deploy.
