Thanking God!

Today I went to my first FRG meeting. For those of you who don't know FRG is family readiness group. Basically a support group for military wives. Anyway four of the six wives in our company said goodbye to their husbands today. I know that marring a military man, means he is gone a lot, but I'm just so thankful that Josh's team isn't leaving right now. I'm sure he is going to kill me when he reads this cause he is anxious to get over there and serve his country but I am really thanking God tonight. It was a good meeting and the girls are nice but it's hard to ignore the red puffy eyes from crying. I felt like crap cause yesterday I was whining to myself cause I'm alone for a week! lolol I'm officially in the apartment. It is still empty just me, the suitcases, and an air mattress! We are getting temp furniture on Thursday so that will be nice. I went to the lending closet today and got the welcome package with pots and pans, plates, glasses, forks, etc.... so I am going to the store tomorrow and I will be cooking my first meal tomorrow!!!! yes I will be eating it on the floor but at least it will be something I want!!!!! I can't complain to bad though cause now that we know a little German, well enough to get by in a restaurant, we can go to real restaurants and get good food, not just subway!!!!! :)

Hi Natalie! Sooo--ooo-oo good to hear from you ! I should have checked the blog earlier in the day but things were hectic here. I am also glad Josh isn't going to be gone for more than a week right now!! Did you meet any friendly wives at the frg meeting? I am sad to think about you there in your nearly empty apartment alone. But, you can be planning how you are going to decorate, etc. And I am sure you are excited to start work on Friday!! Good luck with the new job! I am sure Josh is looking forward to some home cooked meals also. Too bad we can't share some of the deer meat with him!! The guys in our family love it but the women don't care much for it. Maybe we would like it better if we shot it! OH, wait a minute, then we wouldn't have any deer meat cause we wouldn't shoot them!! Love Ya! Sandy

Tell Josh we missed him this year as we hunted on uncle Ron's ranch. Ryan got his 1st deer. We may do some duck and goose hunting later this year.
