It's been awhile since I last posted. Life has been busy. The boys and I went on a 3 week long vacation in late July. We went to San Antonio. If you haven't been, you should go sometime (preferably not in the highest heat of the summer, though)! While we were there we stayed with my aunt and visited lots with my sister, her girlfriend, another aunt and cousin, and several friends. Plus, he got to join us for the first weekend, which was unexpected, wonderful and bittersweet, as we had to say goodbye again.
Since the boys and I got home, I met our oldest son's new teacher (he started second grade a little over a week ago!). We have spent lots of time with family here (his family, and I am so glad I became part of them when we married). I look forward to seeing some of my family next week! This week I get to meet our second son's new teacher (he starts pre-K next week!).
I have recently recommitted myself to Weight Watchers. I have done very well on it in the past but always seem to become complacent and slide back into old habits. I have also started a 21 day-challenge through Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home series. She is fabulous! I only have one of her DVDs so far, but I know it will become one in a collection. I feel good about doing this because when I am healthier, I am happier. AND, when I am happier, I am a better wife and mom!
His base recently went through a failed (praise God) attack by some terrorists, including some on a suicide mission. I didn't even know it happened until he alerted me to it. It aggravates me that Paris Hilton's cocaine arrest garnered more news than something that happened to my loved one, many other's loved ones and all of us here at home who do love them! On the other hand, I have purposely not been watching much news in order to avoid giving myself ulcers.
The boys and I went to my husband's aunt and uncle's 40th wedding anniversary. They are a lovely couple and I was so happy to be a part of their celebration! My husband and I celebrate our 10th anniversary this Thursday. I am of course sad that we won't be together for it, but we are planning a cruise next summer, so we can celebrate our union and our reunion!
I guess, for now, that is all. Today I pray for everyone on the east coast, that Hurricane Earl may slow down and just give them a nice rain and a cooling down from their hot days!
