Merry Christmas...

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!

Whew.... now that I've done that, I am gonna be sappy for a few minutes. IO want to tell you all that I love you. YOu guys have helped keep me going while Dave has been in Iraq, and as that is quickly coming to an end, the holidays have been very hard. Not only am I trying to get in to the christmas spirit, and also get my house clean while getting ready for a weekend away, I am actually very anxious for the holidays to be over. It's not that I don't care or enjoy Christmas, but Dave coming home has kind of overshadowed the holidays this year. I keep thinking the sooner this is all over, the sooner he will be home. Then I look at the list of stuff I have to get finished before he gets here, and sometimes I wish it was still September! LOL

But really, thank you all for being so wonderful and nice and helping to keep my spirits up these last few months. Dave Libbey, Thanks for being one of the BEST friends I have ever had. You have been a great and wonderful help over these last few months. I am not good with words, but know that I love you and I thank God everyday for giving me a friend like you.

David, my loving husband, thank you for bearing with me over these last few months. The longer you are gone, the more I miss you. But I know that you will be home soon. It will be the BEST late Christmas present EVER to see you walk across that field and back in to my arms. Bear with me Baby... I'm going to Cry! *smiles* I Love you For Ever.... Merry Christmas and be safe. I'll See you soon!

To everyone else... I love you all, and thank you again for being the wonderful friends and family that you are. My God Bless you and keep you safe. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

P.S. Sorry this is kinda dumb! LOL

The never ending weekend

Well, You know how they say hindsight is 20/20? Looking back, I probably shouldn't have had that 4th glass of "grog" at our party friday night. It seemed like a great idea at the time... but I guess my falling off the counter and dancing with a guy 14 inches taller than me made an impression on everyone. And so the witnesses took it upon themselves to inform the rest of my co-workers. SO now everyone knows that I get TERRIBLY goofy when I have been drinking. NOt to meantion, I fall asleep in random places and positions. SO who knows what everyone thinks of me now.... *Sigh* Oh well. It was fun. I haven't gone out and done anything like that in a long time. it was fun to see my fellow soldiers being laid back and fun as oppossed to our normal work environment. And it was nice to just kick back and relax for a night.... or morning... or whatever it was. But I did learn one thing... never dance drunk in front of people when you CAN'T DANCE!

Winding down, New Jobs, and Christmas...

Well... Dave's deployment is quickly coming to an end. I can't tell you exactly when he will be home.... but it is less than 60 days now. *SMILES* I am very excited, but I am rushing to finish everything in the house that I wanted to get done. I still have to tile the table, and finish the shelves, and then CLEAN the bedroom that has been highly neglected because of the work on the rest of the house. I am ordering a new Washer and Dryer.... cause mine are dead. So those should be here just after Christmas. (I'm not ordering them till the 15th)I would also like to get the spare room painted, but I am not sure it is going to happen before he comes home. But I have lots of days off coming up!

My new job is FANTASTIC! I have had plenty of time to do my homework, study for my promotion boards, and get my point up. My NCO is awesome, and she is a good cook too! (She made chili the other day!) All day long, I do fun and torturous things, like drawing blood and giving shots! The soldiers coming through are mostly in good spirits and glad to be home.

Christmas is coming fast too. I have finished my shopping, however, I have not gotten anything wrapped! I have to wrap tonight and mail things to Massachusetts and Arizona tonight. I am going to spend Christmas with Becky, Kim, Heather, and the kids. It should be fun. I was a little bummed out that I couldn't go home for christmas, but I am going home for a VERY SHORT 3 day weekend over New Years! BOSTON HERE I COME!!!!
