Crap! Not again!

They must have liked Joe over there, because they have asked him to come back, on 1/5! That is only a week from now! He will only be home for 2 weeks. This is really disappointing! He's going to be gone 12 weeks this time. That is only 6 days less than he was gone last time. I'm totally bummed. We haven't even gotten to spend that much time together yet.

Fun times with family!

We've had a fun Christmas. I'll have to take pictures later and post them when I get home. The girls have had a ton of fun. They've played with my neice Jordan the whole time. Jordan doesn't want to go home. :) She's stayed here at my mom's the whole time we've been here, except for Christmas Eve when she had to go home for Christmas morning fun. :)

Christmas is so much fun when you focus on the children. They love the magic of Christmas. What is your favorite Christmas memory?

My favorite Christmas memory is that Santa came twice. We went to church with my grandparents on Christmas Eve. While we were there, Santa came to drop off gifts at my grandparents. It was so much fun! Then on Christmas Eve night, Santa came to our house. It was fun. :) We thought that everyone got a visit from Santa twice. :)

Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!!!!!!

Especially my family! Joe is home, AMEN! All I wanted for Christmas was him, and I got it! :) He was almost 3 hours late! The girls and I had to wait at the Airport all of that time. He was only flying from Salt Lake, so we didn't have time to call and see if his plane was on time, or not. It is only a 50 minute flight. So we waited and waited.

Now we're down in Pheonix. I'm sitting across from my mom. We went shopping a little today. We tried to go see a movie, but there isn't really anything out we want to see. Darnit! So we went to Target. I love that store. :)

Jamie and Faith stayed home with Papa and helped him go grocery shopping and start preperations for tonights dinner. Joe went 4wheeling with one of my brothers. I'm sure he's having a ball! He adjusted very well to being back in our time zone. Whew! :)

I'm going to go. My sister Ronni just got here. Love you all! And Merry Christmas!

Less than 24 hours left!

I'm soooooooo excited! :) :) :) I can't wait to see Joe. I'm going to be of very little use tomorrow at work. I did just find out I'm getting a new student, so I can prepare for that. I took notes for the MDT meetings today so I would have something to focus on. :)

This is going to be a great Christmas for us. I can't wait to see him! :)

What a fun evening!

That was a ton of fun! I had my assistants over for a fun filled evening of laughs and food! Everyone brought over a ton of food. We all sat around my kitchen table and ate and laughed. :) We were able to relax and enjoy each others company. I work with a great bunch of ladies. I am truely blessed. God had given me a great staff this year, and I couldn't do what I do without them.

10 days and counting!!!!!!!

Wow! The time with Joe gone is almost done! It hasn't gone by quick, and it wasn't her before I knew it. I'm so glad that it is gone. Whew! Joe is really ready to be home too. Christmas is going to be so much fun for us, since we'll be able to enjoy each other in Phoenix. Joe still has to work over part of Christmas break. The girls and I will have to do some serious relaxing! :) Thanks for reading. :)

2 Weeks Left!

Wahoo! Only 2 weeks left to go until we are done! I'm so excited to have Joe home. I miss him so much. :) I'm so glad that all of this is almost behind us. I wish I knew about Phoenix so we could start making plans. The guy that might be Joe's future boss is in The Netherlands. So he's going to interview Joe while he's there.

I dropped the ball!

I was supposed to be at the church at 10 a.m. I thought it was at noon! So I showed up at 11 to decorate my table and it was 1/2 way over! URG! Stupid! I am mad at myself. URG!

But I just talked to Joe for more than an hour and feel much better. I still feel sad though because I miss him. Many people have told me that they'd be glad to see their husband go on a business trip. But I'm best friends with Joe. We get along great, and he's a huge help around the house. You can sure tell he's been away! We're going to have to do some major damage control tomorrow. YIKES! Messy!

I hope that I don't drop the ball anymore, but when you're juggling as many balls as I am right now, you're bound to drop one here and there.
