2 Weeks

This one is for you, my true companion! I love you and can't wait until you are here...I am honestly jumping out of my skin in anticipation!

Missing Him Monday

I am tired today from shoveling snow 3 times in about a 24 hour span. We got about 6 inches total (my guess, anyway).I have discovered two things (although I am pretty sure I rediscover them each time I do this chore). 1) I loathe shoveling snow. 2) It is a really good workout! =)

He is almost done with his deployment...just 22+ (hopefully) short days until we get to meet him at the airport! The weather where he has been hasn't been quite as cold as our's has, and he hasn't had any snow. So, missing him today is the very snow I shoveled...and the snowman that could have been built...and the snowballs that could have been thrown...and the fort that could have provided a barricade. =) And even the sledding that we might have done at his high school alma mater.

Happy, Happy Birthday, Baby

Happy Birthday says Elvis

My hubby and Elvis share a birthday. I happen to be an Elvis fan, so this is a pretty cool coincidence. My husband likes to say one of the reasons I married him is because of that coincidence. :)

Anyway, I hope you have a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY, my love! I couldn't sing it better than the King of Rock-n-Roll, so here ya go, babe! Love you...even more than I love Elvis! ;)

This Is Dedicated To John Williams (And To The One I Love)

Here it is, as promised. Love ya, Babe!

Missing Him Monday

If all goes as it should, this is one of only four more Missing Him Mondays until we are reunited! Yahooooo!

To say that he is a Star Wars fan is an understatement. He has loved them since he can remember seeing the movies. He still has toys from his childhood. The 3 newest movies came out while we lived in England. It was fun to be a part of his Star Wars life when we saw them in the theaters.

Our boys have also developed a love for all things Star Wars. The oldest plays video games - sometimes for hours on end if I let him. The middle and the youngest enjoy playing with all the Legos and toys we have. Lightsaber duels are a regular occurence at our house these days. And of course we own all the movies, so we watch them pretty regularly. My favorite is The Return of the Jedi. Our oldest loves A New Hope. The 2 younger ones like Darth Maul, so that movie seems to be their favorite at the moment.

Missing him this Monday are...

...all of the various Star Wars toys/movies/games that we own, including those pictured here that a neighbor gave to the boys when he realized how much they love Star Wars!

Coming soon to a blog near you, a video of our youngest playing with Star Wars Legos and singing the Star Wars song! =)

Happy New Year

We said goodbye to 2010 and welcomed in the New Year last night. I have such a hard time staying up until midnight now - old before my time! =)

2011 is very welcome in our household! It means he is only 31 days (as long as weather cooperates on both sides of the world) from being home again! It is a gross understatement to say that none of us can wait! He posted lyrics to an appropriate song on facebook by one of his favorite bands. Here it is, for your listening enjoyment...



I pray you have many blessings in 2011!
