getting excited

I went to the company tonight and helped make welcome home signs. We painted for 3 1/2 hours! It was crazy (lots of little kids + paint = crazy) but so much fun. We are all getting so excited and the time just flew by. I won't post pictures of all the signs because I don't want Thomas to see them but here's one that I brought home. I'm not finished with it, but you can get the idea. It's going to go on our front door. I'll post the final product after Thomas comes home. Keep in mind all we had to work with was post office butcher paper and kids paint :)

almost there

Tonight is Thomas' last night in his chu (trailer). His unit is moving into tents to make room for the incoming unit. We're getting closer. It still feels like August is dragging on, but hopefully by this time next month I'll be counting down the days :) I love you handsome. Hurry up and come home already!!!

because she's cute

This picture was taken a few days before I graduated. Ana is clearly fed up with all my homework in this picture. She was always trying to shove it out of the way ;) Way to hang in there Ana.....we did it!

10 months

We've made it to the 10 month mark (tomorrow). We're almost done with another one! Now that I'm done with school I'm sure the time will go by much slower, but at least when he gets home I will be able to devote 100% of my attention to him. Be safe handsome. I love you so much!

golfing

Thomas went golfing today. He was the only one out there but he went. He only lasted 6 holes because he ran out of water. Never a good thing when it's over 120!

Isn't he just so darn sexy?!?!?!?!?!


Look at that lush green course ;) Beautiful.

He's stuck in a rock pit...hahahahaha. Guess when you play golf in the sand they can't call them sand pits.

You've seen it all now folks. Swimming, volleyball, and golf all in the dessert. We are TWO weeks away from 10 months! I LOVE you handsome. Stay SAFE and hurry home. Can't wait to smooch you to pieces. LOVE you handsome.

YUM

I went shopping this morning and came home with all this goodness!!! This might last me one week, if I'm lucky. I of course buy veggies too, but they're not nearly as yummy.

I also bought this. It is the BEST spread I have EVER had in my LIFE! I just want to eat it by the spoonfuls. It's made with hazelnuts and it tastes chocolaty (thanks to the cocoa) and it would be fabulous on crepes, french toast, or just on a spoon :) If you like creamy goodness, you MUST buy this!!! Caution: VERY addicting and not as healthy as the products pictured above.

Christmas in July

I went to my dear friend Carmen's house this weekend and scored some major loot!!! My new sunflower themed kitchen. I lOVE it!!!

My favorite piece out of all. An old fashioned coffee grider from Poland.

These sunflower roosters crack me up. The liquid pours out of their beaks.

A wonderfully LARGE cake platter that my darling husband says he can't wait to "put to good use." I've been looking for a covered cake platter for three years. Who knew my kitchen dreams would come true in Carmen's garage?!?!?!

We also went shopping while I was there and I couldn't resist. I bought this cute set of mini cutting boards that will be perfect for cheese and crackers. I eat a TON of cheese. Also scored some delicious Bruschetta!!!

The car was PACKED with goodies :) She's moving :( to Florida in a couple weeks (so I'll soon be close by) and lucky for me.....they're over their weight allowance. As a result, I came home with TONS of kitchen stuff.

I made off like a bandit! Thank you guys so much!!! Along with what's pictured above, I made off with a few beautiful serving sets, a fondue set, bathroom set, a sunflower tea set, clothes, and a couple coolers (can never have too many coolers). I will miss you guys so much.....but we will be visiting soon!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th. I ate delicious food and watched fireworks with the Fernandez's, then at midnight we ate my cheese cake :) See you guys in a couple weeks for the big move.

Love,

Heather and Ana (who's very tired from too much sun)
