Happy New Year!

Hey Y'all!

Christmas was very nice. We even had a pretty good meal. It was hard to find all the necessary ingredients for us to have a truly country Christmas meal but we did have turkey, stuffing (as in Stove Top), mac and cheese, broccoli casserole, cornbread, dump cake, and maybe something else. I can't remember! I was craving my auntie's collard greens and dressing though.

For New Year's Eve, we went to the celebration near here. They had live performers, food, a lot of noise. We left by 9:00, went to eat, and then headed home. Danae stayed up until about 1 am because she was scared of the fireworks. They were EVERYWHERE! They have no laws against them here so we just looked out of the window at about 100 displays all around us. You know how the people put on shows for the 4th of July. Well, that's what people were doing at their own houses. Madness! It sounded like a war was going on outside. Danae sat in her dad's arms, wrapped under the covers, scared to death. I thought it was kinda cool.

We are so ready to come home. If Dwayne's company said we could go back to the USA but only if we moved Montana or Maine we would be right there. We are READY! It's so bad that we were mildly depressed a little. So, supposedly we're leaving here on March 31st headed back to Houston. Hopefully, nothing changes.

Well I hope you get to go home on time. But I'm sorry that ur not having fun anymore. It seems so cool though I'm sure that it's lonely and hard not to be around familiar people and things especially around the holidays. Still praying for yall.

Motherhood

Yesterday, I had something to do so the kids went to their old sitter's house for a few hours. We got home later than intended so I knew I would be rushing to prepare dinner, get them bathed, and settled for the night. Here's what really happened. As soon as we entered the house, Brayden started running around saying "Mommy, I have to pee". So we rush into the bathroom and as soon as his pants are unbuttoned, he starts peeing on himself. I clean him up and decide they can play in the tub while I start preparing dinner. As soon as we get to the kitchen, Danica throws up all over me, herself, and the floor. So, I take her to our bathroom and bathe her. Before I can get her pj's buttoned up, Brayden starts screaming "I have to pee!" Because he just went all over the bathroom floor, I'm a little perplexed. I run to their bathroom anyway only to find out he didn't have to pee, he had to poop and had already dropped two bombs in the bathtub where his s...

In Memory...

Staff Sergeant Javares Washington was killed in Kuwait. He was my cousin. My cousin died yesterday...in Kuwait...and I'm so very sad. I feel like I can't breathe. My heart is broken. We grew up like siblings. His mom had him at a very young age. She wasn't ready to take care of him. So, he lived with us for years. He was like my brother. And now, I'm in shock. I'm going to miss him so much. The military has only said he was in a government vehicle on patrol and it flipped over. We don't know what caused the flip or anything. I want to go home. He was married and had two children. His son, Jayden, is 6 years old and looks just like him. His daughter, Tristin, is 9 months old. My heart is broken.

Love at First Sight

I am absolutely in love with this little girl. Danica was born with a heart murmur but we found out today it's no longer there. We are so happy with this little perfect being and can't wait to get to know her more.
