Me is now a.... We!

It's happened! Yes you guessed it. Steve and I tied the knot! I know.. finally.. It was very special. We had to push up the date as many of you know due to Steve's PCS (permanent change of station) orders. We had the ceremony performed by a local minister. A lot of our friends wanted to attend but Steve and I both agreed that we wanted it to be just us. It was a special moment we that we wanted to share between just the two of us. We'll have our bigger wedding/celebration once we get to Arizona and get settled. Thank you Jennie and John and the rest of the family for the gift card! We're thinking (or at least I am) MICROWAVE!!!!

Oh Dear...


So as some of you may or may not know.. Today was the day Steve and I had set to get Married. Well... As many of you know one must get a license before getting married. That wasn't the easiest of tasks this week... between work and all my medical we couldn't get down during their business hours. Poor Steve doesn't even have a shirt! I had the dress and all... So we are waiting to hear what dates he is given at his briefing and we'll make a decision then. Sorry all!

There's something Wrong With Us

And now for another installment in the things you may not know... I couldn't think of anything better coming up on what was supposed to be my original ETS (day I was getting out) date than quoting Stripes, one of my favs. If you haven't seen it... You must. Another recommendation. Bill Murray at his best I think. Laughs all around.




"We're all very different people. We're not Watusi. We're not Spartans. We're Americans, with a capital 'A', huh? You know what that means? Do ya? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts! Here's proof: his nose is cold! But there's no animal that's more faithful, that's more loyal, more loveable than the mutt. Who saw "Old Yeller?" Who cried when Old Yeller got shot at the end? Nobody cried when Old Yeller got shot? I'm sure. I cried my eyes out. So we're all dogfaces, we're all very, very different, but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all stupid enough to enlist in the Army. We're mutants. There's something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us. Something seriously wrong with us - we're soldiers. But we're American soldiers! We've been kicking ass for 200 years!"

A quote from a most awesome movie that I had to post... If you don't know what this is from then I am sad for ya! Kidding it's from Stripes; totally recommend it.
