Changes

I attended a reunion workshop last week and they said many phyisical changes can take place over the deployment. A soldier may gain wieght or muscles (yes my we all know my husband has gained tons of muscle). The biggest physical change this year took me by suprise. Here are pics of who it is: He has changed from a child to a young man. I couldnt believe the difference when I was scrolling through pics yesterday. And its not just the hair color.....

Exciting News

David is really coming home. We just heard he will be home on the 7th of Feb. Dont have times yet but thats ok...it could be 2 in the morning..I dont care I just want my husband to be home. If you cant tell we are so excited. This year we have had good times and bad times but in the end we have made it. I wouldnt have been able to do it without the support of my kids who really has stepped up, My husband who takes so much of my guff even thousands of miles away, my family who has given me words of encouragment and praise, and my military family who have truly kept me going this year. Thank you and we love you all.

Getting closer

Time is flying. Before I know it, David will be in my arms. I cant believe how fast January is going by. I thought I would be able to do a review of our year but decided its already a new year. This years resolution is basic: Learn to be a whole family again. Sometimes this process is difficult but we will work through it. Already this year is packed full of events taking place. January: Twins birthday, Three military events (I guess they want to keep us busy)and me taking a month off of school, YES!!! (much needed) Sometime between Feb. 7th and 16th we will be picking up David from the airport. The weekend of Colten's b-day we will be in Park City with Military reunification workshops. March 28th Saibrynn's Baptism I know i haven't done much as far as blogging because of time restraints but hopefully I will find sometime to post pics after David comes home. I should have just a little more free time then, I hope.

Christmas Came Early

Last night was the best night. I had a hard time deciding whether or not to go to the Delta Center Sing-along. For those who arent aware of this, Larry H Miller each year puts on a community sing-along for families where everyone comes out and sings Christmas Carols. This year they decided to include our troops. There was a live broadcast from Kuwait and they were able to see us. It was the best Christmas gift. We were cheering, blowing kisses, and able to wish them Merry Christmas. IT was wonderful. I know we wont forget this experience and hopefully it makes being away a little easier. Its hard to see but if you look close David is on the right side. I was taking the picture from the screen.

Pictures from Kuwait

Finally, David sent me pics. I am posting some of them so you can see how exciting life is there.
