The Count Down Begins.

May 31st is the last day to send out mail to Mo and the guys!!!  This is exciting news!  I also got a call from an FRG leader yesterday about where and if it's okay to get a call when the guys are getting back!  This means it's all coming to an end!  I'm so excited to get my bestie back!  It's crazy to have watched a guy that I've know since childhood, grow up and turn into this amazing, strong, man that I have so much respect for.  I've gotten to see a whole other side to Morgan during this deployment, and I think it's been good. 

My baby is all ready for Kindergarten!!  I'm so excited for her.  It was so awesome too, because the teacher that tested her was Mrs. Jamison!  While she walked Gracie back for her testing she told her all about how she was her mommy and daddy's teacher too.  Gracie was so excited and felt so comfortable right away.  It was really neat to watch :)  Gracie has also started her swim lessons and she is doing really good.  She goes a couple days a week, and she is loving it.  I'm signing her up for soccer too. 

Stinkin AJ is sick AGAINNNNN!!!!  When this kid gets sick, he gets SIIIICK!!  It's suckin so bad!  He has a really bad cold and cough.  He has been into the doctor three different times this week and that's not including an appt to get a chest x-ray on him.  The Doc said he looks like he is teething right now too so that isn't helping out.  He is pretty miserable and cries ALOT :(  It's breakin my heart.  I just want this kid healthy for a long period of time!  Hopefully he will start feeling better this next week. 

I'm still doing my bootcamp!  I love it so far.  I only missed one day this month and that was because AJ had me up all night so I missed the alarm in the morning.  I'm up at 4:30 in the morning Monday-Friday.......it sucks, but I know it's worth it. 

Captain Morgan

Mo is on the list to promote to Captain!! He will probably promote next month or the month after. Congrats Mo!!

I swear this picture never gets old :)

The "high road"

I was on my way home from working out this morning and started thinking about why it's so hard for people to take the "high road"  When I'm talking on this blog, I'm talking just as much to myself as I am anyone who this might hit home to.  It honestly is so much easier to say hurtful, mean things than it is to say nice, encouraging, words!  That's pretty crazy isn't it?!?  I think so!  This is something I'm totally guilty of especially with people that I'm really close to!  The problem for me is that a lot of time I do things in advance to eliminate getting hurt worse!  I guess I don't have enough faith in people, which is also sad!  I guess the challenge for myself is to try and do the right thing even if it kills me, and it might kill me :) 

This time home has been full of challenges and such a learning experience.  Part of me wishes I never would have moved home this deployment, but the other part is glad for the lessons I've learned so far.  It's been an eye opening experience in so many ways.  It sucks, but I guess better to learn some of these lessons now than any later down the road?!? 

Have a good day peeps!!

Thanks a bunch!!

I had to get a TB Test today.....YUCK!  I didn't care for that much.  I can get my blood taken all day long, but when it's lower in your arm like that.....I don't like that one bit. 

I talked to Mo-bear a couple hours ago, he just got off the hill.  He is going to be out the majority of the time that he's off the hill this time so keep him in your prayers.  He was really sick right before he went up, but they gave him a z-pack and he's feelin good now.  He told me that he got a package from the Willett's and a card from Nancheeee!!  He was very stoked!  I just really want to thank all of our fam and friends that have been soooo supportive through this deployment.  The love has been amazing!! Even the community has played a big part in sending things over.  The guys love getting things, but even just the cards and letters are sooooo helpful and appreciated.  I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so kind!! 

Bootcamp:  it's kicken my butt in gear and I LOVE it!!!  I really didn't think I would like it this much.  I'm really hurting, but it feels great.  I haven't felt this sort of pain since volleyball.  I heart it!!  We'll see if I feel the same this time next week though ;)

I'm looking forward to tomorrow....Natasha is watching the kiddos for me and I'm going to go spend some sissy time with Fritts!!  I'm really looking forward to having some no-kid time with her.  We don't get to do that a lot so I'm really excited.  I'm so blessed to have such a great little sister!  I feel sad that Gracie isn't going to have a sister to share life with, but not sad enough to have another one :)  I'm kiddin...really though...She can drive me crazy, but she really is one of my bestest friends!! 

Enough random talk for now......

peace out!
