On the road again, I just wait to get on the road again!

I am so happy! The husband should be home at about 9 pm this evening.

He is so in demand at work that I think sometime she wishes he could cut himself in half to get more done, but today he is on the road again....Can't wait to see you honey!

Tomorrow his Veteran's Day dinner I promised him!

Thank you.

Thank you will never be enough, but those are the only words that I can udder today.

Thank you to our Veteran's, thank you to those who are serving and than k you to the families that wait for their loved ones to come home from war so that we may have our freedom.

And well thank you to my husband who served our country proudly! He is ARMY STRONG!

GOD'S BLESSING TO ALL ON THIS VETERAN'S DAY

Quiet Night

So it is another quiet night on the home front tonight. Brandon is back in Yuma and not for the last time. I have realized how far I have come in the last two years. And may I gloat and say I am proud of myself!

About two years ago I was still a newlywed and was well, still living at home with my parents. My husband was of course in Yuma and I didn't feel safe staying at our home by myself. So tonight, I sit alone with my two dogs and no husband at home and I have to say I like the break. Don't get me wrong, I miss him like crazy and can't wait for him to come home, but I like not having to cook big meals, do his laundry and remake the entire bed do to his nightly fight with the sheets. I do miss out meals together, our chats, our watching TV and chatting more then watching and well watching him play with the puppies!! I miss having a husband at home.

But, absence can make the heart grow stronger and I it does. AS much as I enjoy the little "break" and the fact I have really grow as a person and as a woman in the past two years, I am proud I can now enjoy a quiet night in my home with my puppies and looking forward to the big meal I will cook for him when he gets home, the laundry I will do and the bed I will gladly make because I was lucky enough to safely sleep next to my best friend!

Ice Cream Maker

I mentioned in my last post that I am going to make Brandon some ice cream.....meet my best friend when it comes to small home appliances! My mom and dad gave us our little friend for our anniversary, and it has paid for itself!

Thanks mom and dad............mom how do you always know a great thing when you see it for the kitchen! Maybe I can put a little weight on that husband of mine!

Rain and Wind....comes to town!

Well, hunkered down for the day, I didn't even want to have to go into the garage to do laundry, but I needed clean clothes! The rain is coming down in buckets, the wind is moving EVERYTHING out of it's place. Winter is going to come in with a bang. ( borrowed the picture, I am not that talented!)

I just can't wait for the husband to get home late this evening!

I think I have been up since about 4 when someones garbage can started rolling down the street, leading Ralf and Annie to have to bark at it, then major rain and wind continued with me snoozing on and off and then more barking at the wind at 6 am and well snoozing until 8 and getting up and out of bed then. I sometimes just have to give up, I guess this is practice for when we have babies! Sleep is not much to be had.

I baked for Bran this morning. Chocolate Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies, Vanilla Cupcakes with Cream Cheese frosting and I will make him some ice cream later this afternoon...thanks to Miss Amanda picking up Heavy Cream on her way home from school for me :-)! I figured he needed something homemade when he returns home!

Thanks for looking at my pointless babel!! And Adrienne, thanks for listening this morning as I continue to think about the next chapter of our little lives!!

Lovely Weekends

Brandon and I ran away for the weekend! The beauty of the mountains is amazing.

It was great to see some family and relax where cell phones don't work and all we did was eat! Didn't take the camera, but oh I love running away for the long weekend we made of it!

Oh and the lightning and thunder made it awesome too!

Thanks for the great weekend Debbie and Bob!

Getting it all done!

It seems like the list doesn't end! I have a retirement party on Sunday for 100 people that I am co-chairing and then I am co-chairing another really big event for the church on October 17 for about 220...........and this on top of all the normal things in life, work, fair and home!

So what do I do when I am stresses, I cook/bake. So yesterday at about 8 am I made homemade ice cream and a cake, then headed to work, came home made dinner and a huge pot of homemade applesauce. I ate way to much after all of that!

So here is to getting it all done. I don't want to sound like I am complaining; I am beyond blessed and I love to do all of this, I just seem a little overwhelmed in the last few days....thanks for listening.
