Counting down the days...

It's been far to long since an entry so I though I would take a break from cleaning and catch up!..

Well we weren't able to volunteer for Thanksgiving, but not because we didn't try! Which was okay with us.. instead we went and had dinner at the Loflins with them along with several others. We had a good time, ate good food, had a few drinks and played battle of the sexes! ..The food was great....a bit different then what we are used to having at my Meme's but still great! So many many thanks to those lovely Loflins!!

..On another note my best friend Lindsey from back home had her little precious baby girl Kamryn Elizabeth this past week. I'm so thankful that they are both home and doing fabulous after such a long ordeal of labor...Of course I've only seen pictures but she is absolutely beautiful and I cannot wait to get to Longview and hold her!!! And of course just getting back to East Texas period. My goodness it feels like Ted and I have been counting down downs for freaking ever! But Tuesday is almost here!!! WOO HOO!!!... It should be an interesting 12 or so hours in the car this trip now that we have 2 dogs...but they are both wonderful and looooove to be in the car so it shouldn't be to bad!.. Oh my we are SOOOO ready to see all of our family...Ted's grandmother from Ohio whom I have never met may even make a trip! It will be great getting to spend time with Matt and Ashley since that pretty much never happens!

..A few of Ted's friends got deployed recently to different places and lets just say...I'm NOT looking forward to all of that. Not one single bit...However we are both looking forward to getting out of these apartments and into a house hopefully when he gets back... We have learned we have pycho(sp?) neighbors. The cops were outside till 4 this morning..Crazy stuff. It's so different being close to such a big city compared to back home. I don't really feel quiet as safe here. But oh well enough about all of that...

Ted and I are still in the process of making new friends here and finding different things to do. Thursday night was the CMO-11 Christmas party which there was over 400 people there so it was really nice. It may have been the best food I've ever had...The steak was AMAAAZING! We didn't win anything but our friend Young won twice and gave us one of his gifts, which was really nice of him! The night followed with drinking festivities at the Landing, then to the Ale House and then back here at our apartment where we all seemed to pass out. I had one to many drinks and swore to never drink again the next morning. Which I'm sure won't last past our trip to Texas, haha. ..

Well I guess that will do for now, I've got so much cleaning to get done before we leave her Tuesday! Sooo see YA'LL all soon! :)

..Oh and tomorrow is my wonderful mother-n-laws birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAY!!!! We love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
