18 days left...

Till I get to see my husband! I get to fly to South Carolina to see my his graduate from boot camp... I am so excited about it! Totally bummed that the kids cannot go with me but they get to go to the zoo for their cousins birthday party! I dont even think they are going to miss me at all.
It is still hard to believe that it has been over two months since my husband left for the Army. It feels like that long and at the same time, time has flown by....good think I have been keeping myself busy!
I am so thankful for all of my friends who have let me talk to them for hours, cry on their shoulder and just vent when I cant get the kids to listen! It has meant the world to me!

Kindergarten Graduate!

Dominic graduated from Kindergarten last week! He was so sad to go! He loved his teacher and friends. I am so proud of him to do as well as he did this year. He has learned so much and is so happy to learn more.

I could not of asked for a better year and teacher for him! And what they say is true, once they start school it goes so fast!

My sisters by choice!

This last weekend I was able to go see my two best friends from college. Even though it has been two and a half years since I have seen them, nothing has changed. We still get loud and crazy, talk about old times, present times, and everything inbetween. I love these girls like they were my sisters!

Selah and Michelle have been frineds since grade school and I entered into the mix in College. They were the best things that happened to me in college..well them and my husband!
Michelle graduated from law school! I am so happy and proud of her, it brings tears to my eyes. The first day I met her she told me that she was going to be a lawyer and now her dream has come true. Congrats my dear friend!

It harder than I thought!

It has been 22 days since Richard left and I did not think it would be this hard. The kids are really missing their daddy and we pray for him every night. It is really cute to listen to them "talk" to their daddy about what they have done during the day, how they want God to keep him safe, and what they are going to do with daddy as soon as he gets home.

So for everyone out there...please keep Richard, the kids and I in your prayers.

He is almost 6!!

Tomorrow my baby boy turns six but tonight we celebrated with a few family members. He got four different Transformers and it took all of us to get them together!

A new do for me!

Here is the new me!!!!!

I had to do something with my hair, it was getting so bad! I wasnt sure what to do with it, so I put myself in my friend Sarah's hands and she went to town! I love what she did to it, dont you?!

I am so excited for Richard to see it when he is done with Boot Camp. I think he is going to like it too!

I have been so busy this last week, we went home to suprise my mom for Mother's Day. Getting ready for my little mans 6th birthday! Is he really six?! How did that happen? Cupcakes for his class, cake for tonight, and cake for his party on Saturday! I cannot wait until the week is over and I can relax!

On a side note, Richard is doing well. I have not been able to talk to him much at all...just a few seconds here and there. He will only get two more phone calls in the next nine weeks! I am going to miss his voice.

He sends good wishes to all and remember to keep him in your prayers. He is a very selfless person and for those of you that know him, you know this already!

Shipped Out!

Today Richard shipped out to boot camp! It was a tearful good bye as the kids just then realized that daddy was not coming home with us. Our son is definatly taking it the hardest but I think that is to be expected. Before he left he gave the kids each their own Dog tag with the Cubs logo on it. They were excited to have them and have said they are going to wear them everyday!

Keep Richard in your thoughts and Prayers! He is doing a wonderful thing for us, his family. He has told me that once he gets home, I get to go back to school to get my Masters or another degree. For that, I am very excited!

So today, I officially became an Army wife...that is incredibly odd to say!
