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!

tomorrow i see my girls....

the last 5 days have been hard! i have been separated for a week from the girls before, but this time was much harder....i guess because the reality of how tough the next 6 months are going to be is starting to set in. i wanted to see them more than anything in the world.

today i went to the mall to kill some time (when was the last time i actually wanted to kill time?). it was hard to enjoy shopping because the girls love going to the mall so much. they love playing in the play area, and then throwing a penny in the fountain, then getting on the escalator all by themselves and heading up to the pet store. being without them this week has felt like i am missing part of myself. kind of like leaving home without your cell phone, and then spending the entire day reaching for the phone that isn't there....only about a 10,000 times worse!

but tomorrow i get to see two tiny little smiling faces :)
