Still alive???

Hey all! Yes, the Fenstermaker's are still alive. The girls and I arrived in Idaho at the end of April and left our sweet daddy and husband behind for 6 weeks. He had to finish up a rotation in Ohio before he could join us. The funny thing about all this was his family didn't think he'd be coming until July. We fooled them! His sister, Trisha, was in on our little secret and decided to have a family BBQ on May 31st, which was the day John would be home. So, my crazy husband drove from Chicago on Saturday and straight thru the night to arrive at my parents house at 9 a.m. Sunday morning! The girls didn't know he was coming either and were SOOOOOOOOO excited to see him! Addi had a to warm up a little bit first, but at the end of the day was fine!

Anyway, so we take off that afternoon to his sisters house in Blackfoot. I thought for sure they would see him in the front seat, but they didn't, so he hurried and jumped out and ran to the side of the house. I got the kids and food out and went around to the deck where everyone was and said, "I have horrible news!" Everyone just stopped and had horrified looks on their faces. Especially his parents. "John can't come home in July!"
"WHAT!"they all screamed.
"The school won't allow him to come until September!"
"You've got to be kidding me!" his mom yelled. "What their reasoning?"
"I don't know, they just told him, he couldn't rotate here until he finished in Ohio." Right then John came around the corner, his dad dropped the BBQ tongs in shock, and his mom started to cry and scream! It was GREAT! We are so sneaky!
So, we are currently living with my parents and waiting to move into a home near Rexburg in about 3 weeks. We are so excited to have a home of our own again, but cannot express the gratitude toward my parents for their generosity and patience.=) Our cell phones have changed, so email us if you don't have our new numbers. I will post pictures as soon as I can. Hope all is well out there!
