Joy to the World people!!

So my Christmas decorations are up. No judging!! I came home and Doug was getting ready to decorate and so being the submissive wife that I am, I helped:) So we have officially Decked the Halls. I am going to see how many song titles I can get in here. We put lights in both the kids rooms and they like them and they seem to be calming to them because we have had some Silent Nights. Lol...I rock....around the Christmas tree...lol. Anywho....I am ready for the holiday season but not so much for the holiday. I always just like the weeks before because once that baby is born Away in a Manger, you have to wait another year to do this. Although I am excited for Doug to get some time off...even though he is leaving after that...bummer. I am starting to get okay with the idea of him leaving. I feel like I am a little more mentally prepared now. Anyways my Christmas shopping is done. We live in North Carolina so I doubt we will be Walking in a Winter Wonderland but whatever. I think the thing that I am most excited about is that this will be our first Christmas as a family with Brecken. This is also the first year that Taylor is excited that Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Although she asked if she could trade her bike idea and ask Santa for Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Too bad I already bought her bike. I am just so excited for life. I am so thankful. I have an awesome husband who just keeps on loving me no matter how crazy I get. Two beautiful kids and I cannot wait to add on. Great friends who just make me love the Army because I would not have met them without it. I just love it! Well I am off to do more homework. I will be trying to get more Christmas songs in on my next blog....Silver Bells.

Happy Veterans Day!!

Kiss a soldier!! Just not mine:) Anyways thank you to all the service men and women! We really appreciate it. It will be a huge blessing for Doug to be home for the holidays but not if it wasn't at the cost of other families who sent their loved ones over seas. We are blessed to have people who volunteer to make that sacrifice so it never has to get to the point of being told you have to join the military. Well today I will be spending the day with my family. Happy Veterans Day!!
