New Additions

This is the card I got for Valentine's Day! I laughed forever! It is just like us!
Our new inside addition!

Well, its been over a week since the last update. So much has happened that I don't even know quite where to begin.

For one, Bumper, our lovable 80 pound black lab has now been (or is being) converted into an inside dog. Apparently, my neighbors are not exactly dog people, especially over sized cuddlers.

Caleb has been able to come home for a day and night the past two weekends which has been wonderful! It is really making me ready to move to Alabama so that I can actually be with him. I'm getting more and more excited about moving somewhere unknown and new everyday, but conveniently putting aside the thought of the goodbyes we will be making.

2009 so far has turned out to be the year of our friends' weddings. I'm very excited about all the dressing up and dancing, but am also praying for a smooth transition into married life and have let them know that I've been there and am available for any venting : )

We also got some new furniture...a coffee table! As Joel (Caleb's brother) would say, you know you're boring when you get excited about coffee tables. However, I'm even more boring than that. Ever since thinking about getting a coffee table, I've been thinking about making a coffee table photo book! What?! Pictures?! ME?! So yes, I ran straight to snapfish to begin constructing my own coffee table book, and am extremely pumped about it!

And as of today, Caleb has 29 days left of AIT at Fort Jackson then he gets a two week break, turns 24 and heads to Ft. Rucker, Al to become an officer. My aunt, who married into the army (enlisted), has mentioned to her very sensitive and nonconfrontational neice that because of my husband's rank, there will be other army wives who make up their minds not to like me (and won't be persuaded otherwise. I am praying for strength, only the Lord's strength could prepare me for that, but I have no fear because he prepared us quite well for the unpredictable blisses we have endured thus far.
