The holidays

Thanksgiving was wonderful! We went to a friends house and they must of had about 20 people over, not including the children. It gave me the opportunity to reflect on the things I'm greatful for and I can't even begin to cover the things I'm greatful for. My family, the gospel, my health, a home, food, friends, good neighbors, the military (and the benefits lol), my calling, the list goes on and on.

Brett and I are traveling to Utah with the boys for christmas this year. My brother Daniel is getting married on the 22nd and ALL of Brett's family is going to be at grandma's house near the Salt Lake area. He's so excited that he can hardly stand the wait! I'm so greatful that we get to go see everyone. It's been a long time since he's seen a lot of his family. I'm also so excited that Daniel is getting married!!!! I already know his fiance Sharon is fabulous and I can't wait to meet her! We're leaving this saturday (19th).

As for what is currently going on, Brett has OOD tonight. What does the abbreviation stand for you ask, well I'm not really sure. Although what it means is he's working 24 hours straight and I won't see him until tomorrow around lunch time so I'm trying to find things to do to pass the time. I have retreated to the kitchen with Alex and shut the door and although Kirk doesn't like that very much I am getting as much out of this as possible lol.

Uh oh Alex is crying, audios!

  2. I wonder if the D has something to do with Duty...I have no idea either, when Josh has to stay over night they just call it "Duty" or "Standing watch" it's every three days now ): Refit is so tough, I'm glad you and Brett are getting out before you'd have to go through this muck! It's not fun-But blogging helps though-he he (; So happy we can follow each other, it's almost like we are neighbors....HA!
