Deployed

I dropped Dominic off at the base at 5:00 this afternoon.

I went to class, and I felt okay.

I came home at 10:00 and watched a little bit of junk food TV.

I folded some clothes.

I tried to sleep, but it turns out I can't

It turns out I do not feel okay.

And I cannot sleep.

And I do not feel okay.

At least not right now.

Christmas 2006?

Man, Kate and I are behind in the times! I came across some photos I need to post from this past Christmas. I'm so slow right now. Hope you like them! Hopefully while I'm away I 'll update the website with cool photos and updates. Keep rockin' everybody!

This is of course our 2006 Christmas tree!

This is the train I always wanted when I was a kid! Cool!

It was so hard not to peek in the stockings!


Kate Rocks! She's not really that good at trivia though...


Thomas's first Christmas morning...

This is all mine!!!


Mia's Favorite thing about Christmas...Boxes for eating!


Tom learning his patented "Reverse Nascar Entry"


The kids learning new tricks.


The call of the wild...


This is what I'll be missing!


Tom is always my Number One Model!

Time Flies!

Time flies when you're having fun! Or at least time flies. A lot of things have been happening with Kate and I. She has been hard at work taking classes and teaching. She has a much more talkative class this semester so that is taking a lot of pressure off her. We have been stressing about an upcoming TDY I'll be leaving for later this month. That sucks, but will be keeping up with each other via email, phone, letters, and of course The Stick and String!

It has been terribly cold here in Omaha. We've been getting small amounts of snow nonstop. That sucks of course but so far it has been on the weekend. Convienent! That enables us to take Thomas Pynchon out in the snow on his leash. I had him out there about thirty seconds and then he tried to lay down and stop moving! I was like "Tom! You're a wild animal with a fur coat, you can't just lay down and die that quick!" He eventually came around and he's kind of a fan of the white stuff now.

I had surgery on my knee to have a cyst remove. Gross, I know. It was wicked cool watching myself be cut open though. The first time he cut me though it totally felt like I was just stabbed. I screamed a little. A manly scream though. Then it got infected. That's bad. Hopefully, the Doc will clear me as good tomorrow though. I feel fine though and am ready to move on.

Kate and I got new laptop computers though so now we can be trendy and type blogs in coffee shops. I've pretty much maxed out my trendiness for the day blogging in a coffeeshop while drinking an Italian soda. Kate's across from me being cute. We're livin' the dream!
