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!

USPS would be here by now...

We are currently stuck in a holding pattern but it allows me to actually post today and keep my promised everyday streak going.  The UPS man is scheduled to deliver 2 important final Christmas packages to us but I'm afraid that UPS may not have the "neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night" thing in their motto and with all the snow...well, we're still waiting.

We were supposed to be out of here about an hour ago so we're not that far behind schedule but I'd rather be on the road.  This morning it looked like we might be stuck overnight tonight - I woke up to another 6 inches of fresh snow that was continuing to come down fast.  I shoveled the driveway to get out to take Emilie to work (at 25 mph the whole way) and by the time I got back, there was almost another inch already covering my freshly shoveled work.  But, throughout the day, it slacked off and they were hitting the streets hard so that by now, the roads are in pretty good shape so we will be heading out as soon at the UPS guy gets here...whenever that is.

The goal is to be rolling into the greater Milwaukee area tomorrow evening for a couple fun filled days with the Good's.  We can't wait!!

And since I was busy packing the van all day and didn't have time to take any pictures, here's a recycled picture of Melody for Aunt Wallie :)
