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!

got him..

posted by: emilie

well, i caught the mouse...without the use of a firearm, thank you very much :) i will spare you the gorey details, but he is definately no longer sharing my space. from what i have heard, however, i will probably get very good at setting mousetraps while i am here.

other than that there isn't much going on around here. i have discovered i have a broad range of duties....including the medical examinations for local detainees. i would much rather take care of pregnant ladies than afghani detainees...but i guess that's part of my job for the next 6 months.

i am enjoying the "positives" of deployment: i sleep through the night (mostly, aside from attacks, or casualties after an IED), i get to go to the gym whenever i want - sometimes twice a day, i don't cook, i don't do laundry (there is a laundry service here), and i am getting to catch up on some TV shows, movies and books. So, it's not all bad.
