Vacation

Last week was our vacation time!!! It was an amazing week. We started out leaving Fathers day evening, while on the road we stopped at a burger king for dinner and we thought of putting together a "Stick Jeremy". We made him of straws and we printed out a picture of his face! Stick Jeremy got to travel with us throughout the week!!! It was awesome!

Day 1-it started out for us to get up and get ready for breakfast. Then we started our day out at the USS Lexington. It was pretty cool! From there we went to the surf museum. We saw some cool surf boards! Then it was off to the beach. It was a pretty nice day but windy. We had a lot of fun! Afterwards we went back to the room showered and changed and went and had dinner a Joes Crab Shack. "Stick Jeremy" got to go with us just about the whole day!

Day 2- breakfast and then it was off to the Natural History and Science museum!! Now that was a cool museum!!! Cheyenne loved it!!! She learned a lot!! She got to do science experiments and touch everything! Stick Jeremy was with her every step of the way! Next we went to an Art museum, not as cool as the others but it was cool! We had dinner at a local resteruant. That was awesome!!! Back to the hotel for chey to swim in the pool for a few!!

Day 3- up early and back on the road. We headed north in the dark clouds as the rain fell!! We were sad for a bit until the clouds broke!!! Got to New Bruanfels and headed to the Comal River to float!! Nice and relaxing!!!! We floated right by Schlitterbahn Wayer Park! The girls got very excited!!! Knowing that would be where day 4 was leading us!! Checked in at the resort and spent some time just the two of us!!! Played ping pong and arcade games! Back to the room to get some rest.

Day 4- cooked breakfast with the help of Matt and then We were off to the Water Park!!!! What more is there to say about that? It was a blast!!

Day 5- up early and back on the road heading to Lockhart Texas for some good old BBQ!!! Once lunch was done headed to Dime Box Texas. Another old town. Then off to see The Grove Texas!! What amazing towns!!!!

We enjoyed the trip ohhh so much!!! Once Jeremy gets home we will be doing that trip again!!!

This weekend

What a busy weekend it has been!!! I didn't think it was going to ever end!!! It started out Thursday night with a softball game. We won!!! Cheyenne got a triple! Awesome!! She was able to bring 3 runners home!!!!! So proud of her for that!!!

Friday wasn't to bad. Laundry, laundry, laundry!!! I hate laundry!!! But I got it all done!! Chey went skating and I went and had dinner with some great friends! Cheyenne's BFF stayed the night.

Saturday got up and the girls made omelets! Yum!! Then right back out to the softball field. Had the girls all warmed up and relax to stay cool while the other game finished. The team is so cool they were cheering on another team while they waited! It was awesome to see!! It was very sweet. As we started to get set up in the dug out, the ump comes to tell me our opposing team forfeits! So another win for us. Cheyenne was upset, she really wanted to play! Once we got home it was relax mode for a bit and then went to Billi's to work on Cheryl's baby shower cake. Great learning experience!!! Cake turned out great!!!!

This morning it was time to straighten up the house to get ready for the baby shower. Get the food ready then decorate the house for us to celebrate Cheryl. Once that was over it was off to Cheyenne's softball hitting practice! Rush back to the house, change and eat real quick to get her to one of her team mates bday pool party!

Everything turned out great!! To top it off Jeremy called and emailed today!! Knowing that he is doing good makes everything that much sweeter! Cheryl is ready for baby Jeffrey to come as well!!! Any day now!!!! So exciting! All in all it was a great weekend with really great friends!!!! But it almost seemed like this weekend was never going to end!!!

It's been a few days

It's been a few days since I posted last. We have been quite busy for the past few days. Started out Cheyenne going to her dads for the weekend. So it was just me for the weekend! Friday night on of my dearest friends had a graduation party for her son. That was my first outing without Jeremy. It was hard but I was able to enjoy myself. When I got there everyone asked me how I was doing. Billi's family has really made me feel welcome, a part of their family! It was a lot of fun. Congrats to Trevor!!!! Stopped by Lisa's afterwards for a few mins.

Saturday was all about shoveling dirt!!! It took me all day but I did it all by myself!!! 34x4feet of dirt laid!!! I was so sore Sunday!!!

Bill and I had to start getting ready for Cheryl's baby shower next Sunday! So we got all the decorations! We are just about ready for the shower!!!

Monday was waterpark day!!!!!! Lots of fun with Cheyenne, Maddy, and Taylor!!! We all had a lot fun!!! After that dinner with Lisa, Eric, and Schmoe!!! Great friends.

Tuesday we had softball practice. Got an up coming game!!! I think today I am going to work on the yard and pool time with the kid!!!

Ohh yeah got a call from the love of my life!!!!! They are starting mission now so it might be a few day before I hear from him again. But I am a firm believer that no news is good news.

Here Come the Normal Days!

Yesterday was our first normal day. It started out with cheyenne's award ceremony. She made A/B honor roll for the spring semester!!! That was awesome!!!! She had an early out and got to swim all afternoon. We had a softball game at 7 last night which went for almost 2 hours! It seemed like the girls wanted me to have a heart attack on the field. The score was 6-3,and then one of my girls hit a home run with the bases loaded!!! She put us at 7-6!!! The girls held them for the last inning and so we won!!! Very proud of the girls!!!

Last night after the game we went to see one of my bff's and wish her safe journey in afganastan! We will miss her!!!!

As we wake up today, it's the first day of summer!!! Wooooohoooooo!!!!!! I made the girls waffles for breakfast, and they were off into the pool! The girls helped me clean the pool. Now it looks great!

Time for lunch then it's back in the pool!!!!

Holding strong

Today was a little hard. Went to say goodbye to my old unit. As I am telling them to be safe I was thinking that I should be going with them. I would have been leaving today, but I chose a different path. Which for me was better for my family! But I do want the WhitchDoctors to do their thing and stay safe!!!

Cheyenne and I are getting into our routine. It will take a bit until it's good, but we are working on it. Yesterday went well! But from today on it will be great!! A new month is going to bring a new positive and strong attitude!

I have realized that I am sad and I do miss Jeremy very much!!! But at the same time I need to be strong for Jeremy, Cheyenne and myself!!! I have to hold down everything here on the home front!! I have to be strong!!! I don't want Jeremy to have any worries! He needs to be focused on the mission so he comes home to me! I know that's what he wants, me holding strong!

As I layed in bed falling asleep last night Jeremy called me to let me know that he made it there safely!!! And this morning started great as I got another phone call at 630 this morning! Cheyenne got to talk to Jeremy before she went to school which ment a lot to her!! She was a very happy kid going to school!!! And I was a very happy woman today!!! Although the jeep decided to give me a death wobble!!!! Grrrrrrr!! But it will be ok! I think the tires need to be balanced. Easy fix.

But it's time to show this deployment that I got this!!! Holding strong!
