The HOUSE

Well we finally made it off the waiting list, its been almost 8 mths..lol
I went in about two weeks ago and signed for the house. I get my keys and lease on the 20th of nov.. its bit late, but Hey im lucky we got one.. It will give me just enough time to move in and get some of it ready by the time seth gets home..

So let me tell you a lil bit about it..

It has three bedrooms.. which were really excited about, who knows maybe one of those rooms some day might be a nursery..
then we have hardwood floors,, which is realy cool cause i am a big fan of hard wood floors..
And we have a big back yard, which seth likes cause he can get a dog, and we still have room.

All in all I know that its not OUR house, that were only renting,, but it will be home to us for a few years,, until he gets out and we can afford a place of our own,,

but anyways

sorry its been a couple days since i said i would update but i have been sick, not sure whats really wrong with me, sunday I woke up with a major headache, then i had a light fever,, took some meds and went to sleep around 5... woke up today around 12,, took some meds so i was preety croggy all day,, i was running 99 today,, so my fever is going down but i stil feel really crappy, realy dizzy when i sit up and walk... and my whole body feels weird and like sore,, who knows.. at first i thought was a stomach virus thingy one of thos 24 hour things but its been longer than that, i havent felt sick to my stomach or anything,,, who the heck knows.. but I hope that I feel ok in the morning,, as much as I want to stay home and lay in bed and get better I really need to go to work.. wow i hate saying that,, lol

on a nother note I only have 26 more days in DALLAS TEXAS and I have 36 more days until my SETHERS is HOME... prays be to heaven,,,
so sick of living here and im so sick of not having my husband home, maybe thats why im sick all of sudden, i am just tired, stressed and i go and go and go and never take a break and maybe this was a sign for me to slow down and rest...

Well have a good week

Kate

I Got IT

It finally came.. Each month I get and email from LTC sessin.. A ltc who is incharge of things in iraq with seth. Each month he writes a newsletter, basically letting us know whats going on over there..Each month around this time I check my email at least three times a day to look for it. You might think Im crazy for wanting it soo bad, but I love reading it. It lets me know whats going on with seth, and the guys that work with him,and he is so humorous. I feel like im closer to them when I read it. And if your husbands are like seth you know how it is to not get any info..LOL
I always ask seth stuff but he always changes the subj.. he just loves talking to me about stuff here and things were going to do when he gets home. He hates talking to me about Iraq.. SO it was really good to read the newsletter today..

Another good note, seth and I have decided to fly to Canada for christmas this year, well not christmas day but a few days after. We have an uncle that lives up there and we have always wanted to go up there and visit. Especaially in the winter when its snowing. I have been to Canada but only in Montreal and Qubeck, I have always wanted to go to the country side up in Calgary, where there are not so many Frenchmen...lol and seth has never been up that way .. SO i was so happy when he said he would love to go up there this year.

Well work is good, the days seem to be getting longer, even though were about to go through daylight saving time, and days just seem like they drag on.. But I just keep thinking that i have less than 50 DAYS UNTIL I SEE MY SETHERS...LOL

Well everyone enjoy the rest of you week and have a great weekend...

Also I was wondering when everyone's husband where getting home. or better yet when everyone that is moving to Hood will be there. I wanted to schedule like a lunch get together.. and really meet.

Let me KNOw

SNEEK PEEK.. just a hint on what I am writing next..
WE GOT OUR HOUSE>>>>!!!!!!!!! WOOOO HOOOO
Ill write more on the next BLOG.. hehe

Kate

Moving Back

Well I thought this day would never come..
Im so excited.. I plan on moving back around the last part of this month.. it saddens me that I have to move again, I hate Moving, but if moving means that I wil be back with seth again and we will be in our own house again.. then im thrilled..lol
My last day at work in the 2nd of Nov. im really sad to leave, its a great job and I work with some of the nicest people I know.
But hey sometimes you have to move on and this time I DO..
well if anyone is moving back soon or is already there, i say we get a group of gals together and go eat lunch or something.. right before the boys come home.

Seth and I have alsodecided to hold a game night once month at our house..
and I would really like it if you and your husbands joined.. so lets start passing around numbers and stuff and meet and things and lets get to know each other outside of BLogger..

hit me back on yalls ideas

school

Well I started my fist college class tonight... I dont know what to think of it.. Its a math class, i like it cause its not lecture its on the computer, self paced. But while i was doing the lessons tonight i got so frustrated cause I havent done this stuff in years and it seemed like it was taking me forever to get it done. The next three months of my life are going to be very difficult. I just hope that I do ok and get the credit.
Well I hope everyone has a good weekend..

well I hope everyone has a good week, and if your in texas stay cool...lol

dont forget to wear red on friday.. we all know why..

kate

dont forget to wear red on friday,,,support our troops... if you have a loved one over there, then you should really wear red, if you dont.. just please do it.. they need our support, if they have our support there mission will get done faster and safer.. the only reason why we have troops in iraq is for our freedom, its not to kill U.S soldiers and our families... its for US... the usa... so support them, cause in the end they are saving your ass... and if you have some shit to say about it... reply back... or go join the military and do it yourself, or run for president... if you dont do any of those...seriously shut the fuck up, cause frankly me and all the other people that support the military are sick and tired of people complaining or running there mouth, sayin shit about the troops... im not afraid to stand up for what i believe in... and niether should yall..

so wear red on friday and support the people that are dying for what they believe in and saving us...

one for all and all for one.... support the military, support the troops in iraq, support the usa, and most of all support each other....

the radio

On the way to work every morning, i tune to one of my favorite radio stations to listen to the talk. This morning they were having people call in to read off old text messages. LOVE ones, of course everyone had there diffrent stories. SOme where cheesy and some were very sweet. Well one lady came on and was talking about how her husband sent her a text message as he was boarding the plane to go to Iraq, she read it off and it was soo sweet. Then the radio guys were talking about the war and things like that. It really touched me, especailly since no one ever talkes about it anymore. And how are guys are forgotten about, well not by us but the people. The war is not over, no where near. We need the support and its going to take us to make it happen...

Read this..

Last week I was in Atlanta, Georgia attending a conference. While I was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me beginning to clap and cheer. I immediately turned around and witnessed one of the greatest act's of patriotism I have ever seen.

Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camo's, as they began heading to their gate everyone (well almost everyone) was abruptly to their feet with their hands waving and cheering. When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and cheered for it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red blooded American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their families.

Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so we can go to school, work and home without fear or reprisal. Just when I thought I could not be more proud of my country or of our service men and women a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old, ran up to one of the male soldiers. He kneeled down and said "hi," the little girl then she asked him if he would give something to her daddy for her. The young soldier, he didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself, said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Then suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek.

The mother of the little girl, who said her daughters name was Courtney, told the young soldier that her husband was a Marine and had been in Iraq for 11 months now. As the mom was explaining how much her daughter, Courtney, missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up. When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second. Then one of the other servicemen pulled out a military looking walkie-talkie. They started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it.

After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to Courtney, bent down and said this to her, "I spoke to your daddy and he told me to give this to you." He then hugged this little girl that he had just met and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He finished by saying "your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and he is coming home very soon."

The mom at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young soldier stood to his feet he saluted Courtney and her mom. I was standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event unfolded. As the soldiers began to leave, heading t owards their gate, people resumed their applause. As I stood there applauding and looked around, their were very few dry eyes, including my own. That young soldier in one last act of selflessness, turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney with a tear rolling down his cheek.

We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's good to be an American.

RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the "silent majority". We are no longer silent, and are voicing our love for God, country and home in record breaking numbers. We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing. We get no liberal media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions.

Many Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize that the vast majority of America supports our troops.

Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.. Every red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear something red.

By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the United States on every Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the bleachers.

If every one of us who loves this country will share this with acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the USA is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the once "silent" majority is on their side more than ever, certainly more than the media lets on.

The first thing a soldier says when asked "What can we do to make things better for you?" is...We need your support and your prayers.

Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and wear something red every Friday.



dont forget to wear red on friday

Mooeg

Me and my SIS


this is me and my beatiful sister...

BAD DAY

Today was just one of those days, i really dont want to go into it cause certain people read this but.. i just wish that everything would be ok... lol

well prey for me

hope yalls weekend was good and have a great week..

i love you seth

kc

when its done

Dang its been a while, life here in the Big D is fast and slow at the same time.. some moments i feel like im moving so fast that i barely have time to sit down. but here latley i feel like im moving so slow like everything around me is not moving. I got the job offer, im sooo excited.. I dont know when i start but hopefully here really soon. then hopefully things wil be back to normal again, well as normal as they can be with seth being gone. saying that... seth... he is doing great, he is gaining weight which is really good cause he was getting really skinny, his job is going ok, like he says i just do it, day by day goes by and I keep going, i think the only thing thats not driving me crazy is knowing that at the end of the day i get to talk to my beautiful wife.. gosh he is sooo darn sweet... hehe.. well the deployment is going by, really fast actually, kinda weird how fast its going. we have like 20 weeks left.. wow.. i sooo can not wait.. hehe
i cant wait till i get to hug and kiss that punk of mine..hehe, it will be sooo GREAT..

but my biggest problem of my days latley, is seths and i's one year anniversary is coming up in less then a month, i have no freaking idea what to send him for it. I guess the worst thing is that he is not here, but whats new right...lol.
i Just get puzzled when i start thinking about what to get him.. i send him care packages every week so that gets old, what do you send to someone in iraq. nothing nice cause you dont want it to get ruined or stolen, and at the same time you want something nice for him.
Seth and I talked about maybe following the traditional gift ideas, the first ann. is paper, ok thats great but what do i get now.. hehe.. A card well i think he deserves a lil more then a card..
wow its got me swamped.. any suggestions...lol

well im off to bed, its been a long day
well to all my readers, thanks for all of your comments and sorry im soo bad about commenting back
