I love this time of the year. I love the fall colors, I love the cooler weather, I love spending time with family. While I'm sad that I wont be able to go to MS with my family for Thanksgiving this year, I am so thankful that I'm being able to share it with friends that aren't able to go home. Its been a real difficult week trying to get all the groceries needed on our limited budget, but we were able to. I'm looking forward to it.
We also get to go home in 3 weeks, so thats helping. Daniel got leave approved for Dec 19-29! :) so we will hopefully get to do something for our anniversary AND go home. hopefully. We really want to go somewhere since on our anniversary last year he was at BMT.
Its been interesting here so far. I'm still struggling with getting acclimated here, but i'm working on it. We finally got pictures put up on the walls, and our curtains...and we get to put up our Christmas tree on Saturday! I am excited! :) I love Christmas decorations and this is the first year we actually have a REAL tree (and by real i mean a decent size, fake tree--lol!) and decorations! I'm going to buy lights tomorrow most likely! :) hooray! :P
Other than that, nothing is really happening in our world. Just trying to make the most of everything that gets thrown at us and enjoying spending time together.
To end this rather short post (i thought I had more to say today, but apparently not) I'll do the usual cliche list:
What I am thankful for:
1) I am thankful for my husband. He is my rock, my coach, my cheerleader--he is my everything. He knows how to make me smile even when i dont think I can. He listens, he understands, he loves unconditionally. I am so thankful for him.
2) I am thankful for the AF. They may not always do what I want them to do, but they have given my husband a job he enjoys, a stable job. They have allowed us to make friends that I would have never met if we had not joined. They have given us more than I expected, and as irritated as I get with them, I am very grateful.
3) I am thankful for my family. They have been supporting us from day one, and I am so grateful. Its hard being away from them, but they try to talk to me as much as possible...and some days I call my mom what seems like 100 times a day because I just miss her and want to hear her voice--thankfully she puts up with it! lol
there is so much that i am thankful for this holiday season, those are just the top few. I guess i should probably get to cleaning or cooking or something now. lol I have to make my famous mashed potato casserole today! and get our bathrooms and carpets cleaned. (funnn)
talk to you all later. :)
