New Happenings

             This weekend a lady is bringing her car by for us to look at. My husband wants his own time schedule again. The bus thing is not working out for him.
             Today is a BEAUTIFUL DAY! And for so many reasons!  The sun shined so bright and beautiful today. I got to spend another WONDERFUL day with my son! And the rest of my husband's squadrin has returned home in safety! Brandy's husband is home now! I am so happy for her and everyone else.
            While I was busy trying to clean the kitchen I found two blocks of Craft Soap, Red and Clear/White. So I melted it and poured the soup into my football ice trays. I stuck them in the freezer to get done faster. They turned out great though! And I had some extra melted soap so I poured it into my gingerbread molds and made two of those. They are so cute!

                                                                       
            Not much has happened today, Drew has been at work since 10 and right now it is almost 8. So we will see how much longer it is before he is home.

                                                                              

Car Issues Solved! (Well Sort Of)

            My husband came home from work today with a stack of CD cases and some books and a box at the bottom of the stack that he was carrying. And he said, "Well, I have some good news and... I have some bad news..." His voice was uplifting so I knew it couldn't be that bad. He continued, "The good news, Mario Cart is finally here." That was a Christmas gift we ordered for ourselves back in the beginning of December. "And the other good news is that the car only cost $85 to fix." Then I said, "Wow! That is some awesome news!!" Then he continued... "Bad news is, thats how much it cost to have the car impounded."
            Ouch! Did I hear what I thought I just heard?! No, maybe he is kidding, hopefully he is kidding! (I look him in the face) No he is for real, no smirk on his face...
            I went about just doing whatever it was I was doing, didn't really phase me much. "Oh well." I said. Then as I was updating my status on FaceBook and talking to my Mom on the phone telling her about it, it hit me! We don't have a car! I tried not to let my husband see me as I started to worry... But he could tell. "Hun, we've gone 6 months without driving here already and you were even pregnant then. We can do this."
          

Stranded

            Yesterday my dear sweet husband was going to get his sister and her husband and child at the Frankfurt Airport, they had to buy tickets back since they were not able to catch a Space-A Military Flight back for free. Well he had been gone for about 4 hours and it was past 4:30, the time their plane was supposed to land, and I got a phone call. It was my husband. He only made it 35 Km from home before the car over heated and shut down. Luckily he was able to get to the side of the road alright. Apparently him and a friend had been trying to figure out what had been wrong with it. Drew called ADAC, it is a German road side assistance type thing, and they said it would be 45 minutes before they could make it out to him. And they said it was going to cost him 180 euro just to tow the car to the nearest town which was 2 Km away, not even a mile! And 400 euro to tow him back home, which was only like 35 Km away! Ridiculous if you ask me!
             His friend was able to give him a ride home. And him and another guy that he works with were supposed to go and check up on the car today to see what all was wrong with it and see what they could do about fixing it themselves. Well the Polizei called him at work today, they must have found some sort of personal information and called him, (or looked up his liscense) and they told him the car was at the polizei station and in order to get it back we would have to pay 200 euro. So tomorrow him and a friend are going to go to the Polizei Station to see if they can fix it, and pay the 200 euro.
            Yesterday as he was getting ready to leave to go and get his sister, I had this feeling to give him the cell phone to take with him. But I got side tracked some how and completely forgot to tell him! And then once he got home I told him about my prompting from earlier and he was like, "Why didn't you listen to it?!" (in a half joking way) Now I know if I feel any sort of prompting to act on it while I remember to! But I am so glad that he was not harmed in any way and returned home in safety! And today I thanked our friends for helping us out last night.
             And I was able to get ahold of Drew's sister this morning. They all took a shuttle to the Ramstien Air Base and were able to get thier car and travel the rest of the way to thier home. So they made it home in safety and they were sorry about what all had happened but were glad that Drew was safe, as was I.
            On a totally different note, Little Drew has been walking around on his own so much today! He has gone pretty long distances all on his own. I am so proud of him and love him so much!
                                                                                

Happy New Year!! 2011

                                 HAPPY NEW Year 2011!!!


     We spent our New Year's Eve at SGT Becerra's house and celebrated it with people Drew works with and a few of thier friends. It was a nice turn out. This was our third year in a row going to thier New Year Party. I talked my friend Brandy into going, her husband also works in Drew's shop but is deployed right now, and she ended up having a blast! There was so much food, fun and dancing, it was GREAT!

He's A Walker!

                                                                                        

                                             This is the FACEBOOK post I added yesterday:

            "It seems like Lil Drew only reaches new milestones only if it is the 4th! lol Today he is 10 months old, and has been walking ALOT! He will walk pushing a chair and then turn away and walk to the couch or where-ever all by himself! He has been doing really good with his balance today."

            Little Drew has been taking steps here and there all throughout his 9th month of life... But at our New Year's Eve Party at the Becerra's place, SGT Becerra got him to take 3 steps all by himself! And it all started from there... When he realized he could do it then he kept trying on his own. Not until yesterday, January 4th, did he really start going longer distances! Now if has got something to pull up on, rather than crawl to where he wants, he tries to walk there. It is so cute! I love him so much!! And I am so proud of him!
           
           It is hard to believe we only have until like mid-late November 2011 left here in Germany! Where has the time gone?!! We probably won't find out where we are going next until probably some time in the summer. Drew keeps daydreaming about us going somewhere in the States but I told him he better be careful because we have alot of other places we could go.

          

Happy Birthday To Me! :)

                                                                                              
            When I was a little girl I would always play "house" and pretend I was 25... well now I am... :) So this year I am going to dedicate to having FUN! Playing with my adorable son and spending time with my dog and going on amazing adventures with my husband!

                                                                                        
             We celebrated my birthday yesterday with homemade pizza that our friend Steve Merkley came over and made. We played a new Wii Game that I got for Christmas called Wii Music. There were four of us here playing it and it was pretty fun! Steve, Drew, Brandy and Me. And the day before I made an ice cream cake with confehtti cake mix with chocolate frosting and vanilla icecream with fudge swirls. It turned out pretty good!
