We had a wonderful Holiday and fantastic visit with my parents!! I miss them already! The kids have gone back to school and Ron is back to work. We are remodeling our pantry...thanks to Gabe...he is building some really beautiful shelves! I'm patching and painting. Can't wait for it to be done! It's going to look fabulous! I will post before and after pictures when it's done! Hope every one's holidays were merry and bright!! Love to all!

Early Christmas

Christmas came early for Matthew and I! I have always wanted a piano, ever since I was a little girl. We met some new friends who just moved here from Japan. They were looking to get rid of their piano, so we snapped it up! Thank you so much Gabriel and Melissa!!
We are looking forward to having it tuned. Then Matthew and I will start lessons! YAY!! I can't wait!! Move over Harry Connick Jr....Matthew's coming for ya!

Holiday Mail for Heroes

It's that time of year! When your sending out your holiday greeting this year please think of sending an extra one for a Service Member, Veteran, or Military Family. Being in that category of Active Duty Service Member and Family, I know just how important it is to receive a card from "back home" during the Holiday Season. So, show them you care by sending a little cheer in the mail. It's very easy to do...just click on the picture above and it will send you to the American Red Cross, where it shows you how, when, and what to send. All cards must be postmarked no later than Wednesday, December 10, 2008. Cards sent after this date will be returned to sender. Thanks for participating is this very worth cause. Merry Christmas!!!

Veterans Remembered Always!

On this day let us all remember the men and women who serve our country with everything they have to give. They make sacrifices above and beyond! And let us remember those who have fallen. They who gave their lives to defend our rights. Thank you to All our Veterans and active duty men and woman! You make us safe and give us courage everyday! God Bless you and your families!

And to my favorite Sailor....we love you and appreciated your dedication to the Navy and our country! You make us proud everyday! Enjoy your day off...your navy wife has big plans to drag you all over the shopping malls today...heehee! But, I promise to feed you an awesome Lunch!! I love you baby!!

Happy Labor Day!

Hope everyone will have a safe and Happy Labor Day! We are going to grill some chicken(of course) and hang out and swim before we shut the pool down for the season. I hate the end of summer......it's definitely my favorite season! I know I'm weird...but I love when the kids are out of school and we can travel to see all our family! Anyhoo...have a great day!
