A Great Weekend

We had a great weekend. Curtis and the kids spent a lot of time deer hunting. Curtis spent yesterday afternoon finishing a painting for the dining room wall. It turned out great. (I posted a couple of pics) I found a great antique desk last week to use as a sewing table. So now I have my own space to work on little projects. I started on a bedspread for my bedroom this weekend. I did get a little shopping time in too while the guys were hunting. Last night we listened to Christmas music and put up the tree. We are trying to get in the holiday spirit but its kind of hard when it was 70 degrees outside and feels like a spring day. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend!!

Happy Thanksgiving

May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

Hello again!

We celebrated my birthday this weekend. I wont say which one. (Curtis says Im on my 29th again.) Thats fine with me. He baked turtle brownies, they were pretty good. We went shopping Friday and Saturday for a few things for the house. We also had lunch together at a cute little German cafe in Clarksville. It was nice to finally have that time together. He has had to work a lot lately. Josh had some good news this weekend also. He found out he won an essay contest at his school. He gets a $100 savings bond and his essay will be judged next at a regional event. I think if he wins that one, he gets scholarship money. He has to attend an awards ceremony tomorrow in downtown Clarksville. His essay had to be about how a soldier has affected his life. He wrote about his Dad going to Iraq. At the ceremony he has to read some of it out loud. Ill let you know how that goes. I am adding a couple of pics to my blog also. I think thats all I got for now.

We are finally home!

We have finally finished unpacking and are starting to get settled in our house on Ft Campbell. The house is nothing fancy but its better than the temporary apartment we lived in for the past two months. The kids are adjusting really well. Joshua joined the ROTC back in September as a private first class. He was just promoted to Corporal this past week. He has also joined the Spanish club, the FCA and the Raiders team (part of ROTC). Jacob has already made a lot of friends here. He was chosen to be a mediator at his school. He helps other students resolve their problems. They both stay very busy. I have taken a school bus route here on Ft Campbell. Im back to driving a bunch of screaming kids around everyday. Curtis has been really busy with work too. He just got NCO of the month. I guess all his hard work paid off. He gets a three day pass and an award for that. I guess thats all for now. Later I will try to add some new photos.
