It's been five years since I last updated. A lot has happened since then. We had moved to Alaska just before Zoey turned one. I was able to get my first job there and it was awesome. I worked at Burger King on the base and met some amazing people. Then I went to work at Walmart since the drive to the base was long and not worth the gas. We ended up having another little girl while we were there, we named her Casidhe Ann Scarlett Heckman. She was born at 37 weeks, induced cause she kept trying to come early like her sister. I ended up having to have an emergency c-section because she had a prolapsed cord. I was so scared. Shortly after having her we moved back home. We lived in Alaska for a year and it was so beautiful, but it cost so much to live there! After we moved back I went back to be a stay at home mom. James started pre-k that year too. He loves school. Zoey just recently finished her second year of preschool and will be starting kindergarten soon, James will be going to second grade and Casidhe will be going to her first year in preschool. We also had another little boy a year ago, his name is Connor Anthony Scott Heckman. He's such a climber, every time I turn around he's on something. We were "homeless" for a year, living with family. We were evicted for our apartment we got when we moved back from Alaska, we lived there for two years. Also, right before we were evicted someone had called CPS on us claiming that we didn't take care of the kids properly and that Casidhe only ate bread. Also, they had complained that James wore clothes that he got the year before. The caseworker said she wasn't worried about them cause they seemed happy and healthy and we had food in the house. The case was closed quickly. Thankfully.
It's crazy how things change so fast in what feels like a short time. Now Eric is trying to get back into the army. He just did a PFT to see if he has asthma or anything of the sort. He has to wait for the doctor to tell him the results and them send them into the military personnel to go over it and determine if they will let him back in. If he does get back in it will be amazing for our family. Right now he's working at a pizza place making minimum wage. We can't afford our bills with that. And DHS closed our food stamps because they said that never got a paper that was sent to them, so now we will have to budget that too until we can figure that out and get food stamps again until we can get better income. I hate that we need the help but it really does help. If we didn't have kids we wouldn't have it. I'm hoping things start to look up even more here soon, I've been super stressed out.
Well, I think that's all for now. Til next time XOXO
