FINALLY

I know I know! I suck at keeping this blog up-to-date and I apologize. I should probably post, even if I cannot add more pictures (which I know you have all been pestering me about). But Nathan brought the camera to the field and broke it! So I have resorted to taking crappy regular camera photos and getting them to put it on a cd...cheap actually :) So I will try to keep it more up to date.

Okay, update time! Nathan is currently in Wainwright Alberta :( for 2 months (he has been gone since September 7th and hopefully I only have less than a month until he is home). He is doing his last big excercise for his training to go to Afghanistan. He says he is missing me like crazy! Good! :p I miss him so much. It is so weird not having him home for this length of time.

As for me, I am keeping busy. Working my Mary Kay business....sooooo much fun! The ladies I have met in our group and from doing shows are absolutely amazing! I mean, how many friends will drive you to the airport (2 hours away) at 4am and how many friends will keep your little dog for a week when they already have 2 of their own? That's what I call real friends! Other than that, I have been making projects for myself. I am currently working on curtains (military housing doesn't come with anything on the windows at all). I also plan to move onto planting bulbs in my little garden this weekend and I am cooking a turkey dinner for 4 military wives whose men are away with Nathan and they do not have family here either.

My first Thanksgiving away from home should prove to be.....interesting. I have cooked a turkey before, but I have never not been at home for this holiday, so it will be a mixture of happiness and sadness. Sadness that I do not have my family around, but happiness because I can brighten 4 other women's lives by having this holiday at my house. I am looking forward to it.

Well there are furry children to feed and a whole house to clean, so I will bid you Adieu but I will leave you with some photos of the kids (Chancey: our 9 month-old papillon puppy, Monkey and Squishy: our 7 month-old kittens), our house and our brand new truck!!!! ENJOY
