Tony's Home

Tony came home on Janyary 5th at 2305 hours...a good friend came over and stayed with Spencer because he was sleeping. It was supposed to be cold that night which is why I didn't bring him. He has been Tony's little shadow for about a week now. We are very happy he's home.

February/March

February and March were quite uneventful. Spencer and I had a few bad weather days...only one was really necessary. Of course this is coming from a Mid West Girl. Tony traveled a lot during the two months. Spencer did receive an award at school for perfect attendance. Tony's Trans Am is now parked in our garage and ready to go. We are looking for a new car for me. It's between another Escape or a new Explorer. Tony and Spencer had a campout in out back yard. Too bad for me that the tent wasn't big enough for 3. They didn't make it all night I guess the tent wasn't very water proof and it was dripping on their heads. I hope everyone has a safe and happy St. Patricks Day.

May thru November

We had a fun summer. We went to SeaWorld then to my Uncle Kim's for the annual family reunion. From there we went to Tony's sister's house in Georgia. We had a great time visiting everyone. When we returned home we decided it was time to grant Spencer his wish and got him a dog/puppy. Clover is a black lab/mix. She is very good natured and a bit on the hyper side. Hopefully she will calm down with age. Mom and Dad came for a visit in August, we had a nice relaxing time with them. School started and Tony went back to work with his new unit which trains National Guard pilots. He won't have to deploy, but he will have to travel a bit. I started my new position as the PPCD inclusion teacher. Mostly I work with Kindergarten and Pre-K special needs kids. I love it. Spencer is in Kindergarten this year. He is learning how to read and continues to enjoy all sorts of activities. He tried soccer and likes it, he is also in Taekwando and is liking that too. He turned 6 this year and some days acts so grown up. Spencer still loves to snuggle though and I am milking it for everything. We staying home for Thanksgiving this year and plan the same for Christmas.

February thru April

Well a lot has happened these past few months. Tony was honored by 1st Caverly Division for getting 2000 combat hours in flight. Spencer started Tee Ball again. I am diligently working as a Resource Room teacher. We had a nice Easter with friends from Tony's unit who also live in the neighborhoos. Tony finally came home in April. The volcano exploding in Iceland delayed it a little bit. Work has kept me busy and tired, which is why I haven't updated the blog as much as I would like to.

December/January Happenings

We had a wonderful Christmas. Tony was able to get his R&R during that time and we were able to spend Christmas as a family. Unfortunately he had to go back to Iraq just before New Year's. I have transferred Spencer to the school that I work at. He has adjusted very well and settled in quickly. I stop and see him at lunch time and I think he really loves that. Work is going well for me, busy as ever though. It makes the days go by faster. Tony and I had another anniversary, 7 years, doesn't seem like it. I had another birthday...29...again...lol
