Homeward Bound

That's right people I got the early bird and will head to Dubai around 10 tomorrow. I can't wait to get out of Iraq and hit civilization once again especially when Sex and the City 2 is in theaters. You better bet that I will be sneaking a peak of that before I get on my 18+ hour flight. I can't wait to get home and see all my family and friends. Just a few more days!!!

Baseball & Water slides

With summertime comes all the great things that go with it like snow cones, no school, vacations, baseball games, swimming, and if your 2 and 5...water slides. My mom sent me some pictures of my little brother, who isn't so little any longer, playing baseball. He is great at all sports and when I saw these I couldn't believe how much he has grown since the last time I saw him. Granted that was 10 months ago but WOW he is tall, thinner, and like a little man. He is so sad that his last game is this coming Tuesday and I won't be home until Wednesday. I hate that I'm going to miss it. He looks so professional in his uniform LOL!!!
Caleb in the dug out concentrating on the game.
Looks like a good hit.
Now for the water slide part... along with the baseball pictures came pictures of my nieces playing on their new water slide. My mom told me the other day that Shana and Jessica bought the girls one of those big blow up slides that I can not wait to play with them on when I'm home. I am so jealous and always wanted one of those. These are just a couple of their cute pictures.
Gracie is our future model or just a five year old show off...I think its too early to tell LOL!
Averie is such a doll. I told my mom she is so freaking cute that she makes me want to have a baby LOL!!! My mom says I have plenty of time for that which yeah I know I do but with nieces like this it sure does make me wonder what my beauties would look like. :) I can't wait to get home and play with the girls.

The Power of the Hug

Today I got to thinking about hugs. First off, I was remember an article I had read sometime ago about what a little 20 second hug does for you. Click here to read the study. Anyways, ever since I read that article I am sort of adamant about holding a hug for 20 seconds especially with my honey. I have always loved hugs and let me tell you why. Hugs can mean so many things and make someone feel so good in just a matter of....well 20 second LOL. Really think about it... a hug from your honey is comforting and you can feel all the love through their embrace. It is very warming! A hug from your mom is like going home. You just know that no matter what it will be OK and that you have support. A hug from a little kid is so sweet, sincere, and just full of excitement. No matter who it's from and what the circumstance a hug is just great so go and give someone a hug!

Oasis

A band that has been around for years but is new to me and I absolutely love them is Oasis. They are a British rock band who have a similar sound to the Beatles but different too. They are so awesome and a few of my favorite songs are Wonderwall, Slide Away, Let There Be Love, and Champagne Supernova but all of there songs are really great. I am hooked every morning when I get to work around 5:30 I listen to them as I do my reports. If you interested look them up I promise you will not be disappointed. Have a good hump day!

Devastation!

I am DEVASTATED because the day before yesterday my blackberry crashed. I did everything to get it to work and even got so aggravated I just acted like a child and threw it. Luckily Tom was there and he has more patients than me so he worked on it too but no luck. Yesterday morning I got online to search and I found that tons of people that had the same software upgrade as me and theirs crashed as well with the same devil message on it. :( I can't be without my phone and since I am going to be so busy when I get home I went to DHL today and expressed it to my mom. Hopefully by the middle of next week she will have it all fixed and ready for me when I land in Dallas in 2 1/2 weeks. I not only had a blackberry melt down but I also moved all my pictures and music from my computer to my terabyte hard drive to free up space...so now i Tunes can't find my music so I have to start over on that!!! Technology is so frustrating!!!

New Mattress

AWWW I am pleased to announce NO more springs in my back. I put in a work order to have a new full size mattress delivered and when I got home last night I had a nice mattress waiting for me. It was so comfortable and now I know that my old mattress was really worn out. I slept like a rock LOL! Now all I need are my new sheets and comforter set to arrive and it will be just like a hotel room....well almost. Have a good night everyone I know I will. :)

Be Fearless


Upcoming R&R

In less than a month I will be sitting at home. AAWWW a nice break, although it's not going to be that much of a break. Between all my appointments and personal business I have to take care of and all of Rachael's wedding events I am going to be a busy bee. I was on the phone with my Mom the other day and she was griping about me being so busy while I am home but I was like Mom you forget after I leave it will only be around 2 months and we will be vacationing together in Paris. (hopefully) I can't wait its going to be so much fun. :)
