Graduation!!

That's right ... it has FINALLY happened!! Tony graduated on Friday the 20th of November. It wasn't always fun and games. Tony had long nights and early mornings in order to accomplish this and I am so very proud of him. I was very excited to wake up early and watch him graduate with his class. It was great to see that all his hard work is paying off.

Now Tony is on Barrack Support in which he basically sits around and does stuff when they need him to. So he is taking his leisure time to hit the gym and relax. We are awaiting to get orders to see where this advenure will take us next, but they said it will most likely be in January. As soon as we find out we will be letting everyone know. Thanks for all your love, support, and prayers. We love you all and can't wait til we see you again.

SURPRISE!!

Oh, and for those of you that don't know we have a new addition to our little family that we would love to introduce you to: Our new babies.


It was so funny ... after we got them all set up and ready to go. We were dying to try them out, trying to figure out what we should wash first. We settled on "RAGS" just incase the "new" smell ended up on them. We both had to do everything together and watched it spin for quite some time. Finally leaving to clean up dinner only to run back moments later (with excitment) to watch it spin again. I am so happy and grateful we were able to get such a great deal on a washer and dryer. No more trucking across the apartment compelx lot with our heavy tote of clothes.

Fun in the Sun with the Blue Angels

So this was last weekend I do believe ... so sorry for taking so long. Tony and I went to the Blue Angels air show on base. It was amazing, I never thought that I would enjoy watching planes fly in loops and break your ear drums at the same time. Of course we didn't come prepared since we weren't really planning on seeing the sair show. Our first plan was to go to the Air Muesum on base, on our way there we ran into traffic jam and just ended up following it to the airshow instead. So we were lacking chairs/blankets to sit, sunscreen/hats (that didn't end up well), and food/drink. But it ended up really nice to just do something on a whim even if i got "a little" burn over it.

Recently ... (well not so recently)

I know that I have been horribly slacking on writing my blog. So here is my effort in letting everyone know what's been going on .... I got the chance to fly home at the end of October for my older brothers wedding. It was a wonderful event in which I got to see practically everyone. I had alot of fun but was very glad to get back to my lonely husband. Tony wasn't able to come due to school and duty. But we are looking forward to coming home for Christmas.

Yesterday was my dear little Nick's birthday. Unfortunately he wasn't here to celebrate it. For those of you who don't know, Nick was our precious golden retreiver who wasn't really that little. He passed away this summer and was a very said time for the whole family. So I took some time to reflect the life and time we had together. I remember the day he joined the family. It was christmas morning and all threw the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse ... ok well not really. Ty (my little brother) had slept in my bed with me that night when we both awoke to this startling noise. We weren't quite sure what it was or where it was coming from. So we went searching for it. Walking threw the living room towards the kitchen thinking it was in the garage ... but nothing was there. Finally we decided to let mom and dad know something weird was going on. Dad rolled out of bed and calmly said to get all the kids together so we could open presents. Once we were all there and done looking at what "santa" had brought us, my parents said there was one more very specail gift for all of us. An adorable ball of fluff came running out of the laundry room (right next to the garage). That was the best gift ever!!

That night we went to the cabin and brought Nick with us. I slept downstairs with my, well our, new puppy to make sure he wasn't lonely. I didn't sleep at all that night. I was up taking him out to the bathroom, then he would whine so I'd go and hold him. So on and so forth. But it was the best time of my life. I wouldn't change it for the world. I love you Nick and I can't wait to see you in the afterlife.
