So just after the holidays our friend Kim decided to move to Denver early! We got dressed up and went to dinner with some friends!


Then we went and took a trip to red rocks!! I love red rocks! Hope you all enjoy the pictures!!

Who can forget Thanksgiving!? The first picture is the dinner we had with Brian and Melinda! I made the turkey.. And then of course... who can forget Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake? I had to make 2!


Sorry.. I'll add the picture of the Turkey later.. I hope everyone had an AWESOME Thanksgiving!! We had so much to be thankful for this year!!!!


Paul and I went to the dog park on Sunday morning and took a stroll with the boys! I'm just so happy to have him home I couldn't help but take a picture!

These two are just us!
We look like two completely different people from the day he left. Here is a little preview. The picture on the left was taken Nov 20th, 2007, and the picture on the right was taken Nov 18th, 2008. Ok.. So maybe not COMPLETELY different.. But definately different sizes..

I love this!!!


Today I got an email saying that our guys are OUT OF AFGHANISTAN and enroute to the USA!!!!!! What GREAT NEWS! It wasn't clear when to expect them to be on America soil but we know they're coming! As far as them being back to Denver, hopefully Wednesday or Thursday next week.. Everyone cross your fingers!
Now isn't this just soooooooo true!?
We're so PROUD of all of you!!!








Now we're in the very last 2 weeks of this deployment!! Can you believe it? So this next 12 days or so we have LOTS of things planned.. I know the guys have to be soooo anxious! The new team is settling in, and our guys are playing the waiting game.. Better the waiting game, than the working game!!! We're soooo ready for this to be over!
