Where did Thanksgiving go?

The month of October flew by. And thank God the election is over. I don't want to talk about it right now. I do want to talk about Aaron's birthday. We didn't do anything too exciting, we both worked that day. I invited some of our friends over for dinner and of course cake! Thanks to Jennie for the delicious jello cake. And we played some games. I couldn't pull off a surprise like he did for me but I think he enjoyed it! I would like to know what happened to Thanksgiving. Do people not celebrate that anymore? I just went to Wal-Mart and there was Christmas stuff everywhere! It seems like people forget about it or something. Maybe they're just not thankful anymore. Sad. Aaron and I are going to my home next week to visit both our families. I can't wait! It's funny that Missouri is almost exactly halfway between here and Ohio. Which makes for a great meeting place. We will be celebrating birthdays and Thanksgiving! See you guys soon! Bye for now...

October

October is here but I don't think Fall is...at least it doesn't feel like it. Not too much exciting events to occur this month. I did have another birthday. Or as my friend calls it, the anniversary of my 21st birthday! It was just the big 2-3. Nothing too exciting. I did get a very nice set of pots and pans, and wedding picture of us from my parents! AND Aaron had a surprise party for me. Acutally Christina had a part in it too! He had Shera sneak around and get me to go coffee table shopping while he got everything ready. We had all our friends there. And the little girls. They are so cute. I really did not think about it until I walked in the door and everyone was starring at me. haha. I guess that's what's supposed to happen huh? It turned out really good. We had grilled out and had a very delicious cake thanks to Tim & Jennie! Then later that night, went to there house and played games until the lights when out. That's when you know they want you to leave.haha actually we never figured out what happened. Just another wonderful thing about living at Polk! It was one of my best birthdays yet! Thanks Everyone!

SURPRISE!!!

This is how Aaron will look in a few weeks for his birthday!

Stay tuned, I think I'm caught up now. So everything will be posted by event! Hope you enjoyed!

The Big Move...

So I want to start this off by saying yes I'm still a little bitter we are in Louisiana. I know there are much worse places we could be. A few days after our wedding we packed up and hit the road for the long 18 hour drive ahead of us. Missouri was the half way stopping point so I got to visit the family a few days before we got here. We arrived here at Fort Polk Louisiana late one night in January. It was cold, raining and very depressing. Haha it gets better. I will say that I cried when we drove in. A week after arriving here we had already seen everything there was to see. Wal-Mart, bowling, PX, and very small cinema. And we had picked our new house in South Fort. Oh wait I can't forget. So if you don't know being in the military really gets you out of your shyness. The 2nd night we were here I got a call from the Commanders' wife, Terria. She invited me along with some other wives to a small party. At first I wasn't sure about this but I decided to go. So the night of the party comes and a convoy of cars come to my house to meet and pick me up. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I knew right away I would get along with them all. Marian even brought us real food when we were in the moving process. Terria and Marian are like my second, third, fourth mothers....something like that. They also had A Hale and Farewell for Aaron at work. I'm sure there are some pictures of that floating around out there, I will try and get them up. Then I got to meet all the guys he was going to be working with. Well most of them, 9 were deployed. I knew it was going to be an exciting group! You will hear much more about all them in future posts! Oh yeah back to moving in. So we picked our house and my wonderful family moved our stuff here. I know they had lots of fun doing it though. It was even my dads birthday the day they moved us in. Don't worry I was a good daughter, I got him a cake and did NOT cook for him. Remember I just got married, he would not want me to cook for him yet! In one day we had the place looking better. See.

See I told you I got him a cake

Maybe we worked him a little too hard!
