Still here

I'm still here :) We have been enjoying our time together. Of course Ashlyn has her daddy wrapped around every single finger and toe she has, ha.
Christmas was nice and quiet, all about Ashlyn this year although we did get ourselves new blackberrys which I am loving so now I can get internet on that since I dont have it in the apartment so feel free to email ;)
Luis' aunt and uncle live here so we had Christmas dinner at their house which was very yummy. (Sorry I forgot to bring my card to upload the pics).
We plan to spend New Years Eve at home just enjoying eachother with a bottle of Beachaven's finest wine, a local winery here in town.
Hope everyone has a fabulous night and a blessed new year! Miss everyone!

Finally some pictures!

He is home, he is safe, we are HAPPY! It's been a great few days and a great Christmas to have Luis home. Ashlyn is all about Dadddy and won't let him out of her site!

(will post more later)

He's on his way!

So all I know that is Luis has left, at least I hope he has. I will be getting a call from him or from our rear detachment informing me of the time of arrival. My heart is pounding with anticipation. He will be home before Christmas! What a great time of year to welcome a soldier home. I can't wait to see the look on Ashlyn's face when her daddy is finally home!! Dont worry I will be posting pictures of the homecoming at some point this year ;)

Checking in from Oak Grove, KY

Just wanted to check in with everyone real fast. I dont have internet and it's driving me bonkers. I found a great connection from my apartment complex parking lot, just not near my apartment ha. So I'm writing this from my car.
The apartment is good just what we need for right now. Luis is leaving in about 4 days and should be here in a week!! We bought a little 4ft tree and I let Ashlyn decorate it, it's all about her this year.
Well I need to get back, just wanted to check in. Will write more later!! Missing y'all...and Texas!

Baking cookies....

Baking cookies has always been a tradition for us. Mom's sugar cookies and then decorating them. Well this year Ashlyn got to help Gmommy bake cookies and decorate. She had so much fun and ate about a pound of cookie dough! The child didn't want any cookies with or without icing but give her cookie dough and she'd eat all of it (sounds like her mama). Here are some pictures...enjoy!

You can see the rest of the pictures HERE.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Dear Santa...

AND IT'S SNOWING HARD RIGHT NOW IN AUSTIN!! It's 11:20pm and we have big heavy flakes falling outside! This doesn't happen often! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!

Time is a tickin'

I'm hitting the road on Saturday!! I'm still not sure exactly when Luis will be arriving, I'm hoping before Christmas but we shall see. I'm getting all my last "To Do's" out of the way and then I'll start packing on Thursday.

We will not have internet at our apartment (I KNOW!) but I will try my best to find service or go to free wi fi places, I can't live w/o internet!

Just an update...check in later!

Time is a tickin'

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

Whew, thanks for letting me get that out! lol. OMG, I have about 11 days until I head back to Ft Campbell and I'm freaking! 1. Because I'm super excited and anxious to finally see my hubby and 2. Because that means I have 12 days left to shop for Christmas, pack for the trip, get our rooms ready for our return (and to fit my husbands stuff in our room). AHHHHHH :)
