Twilight

6+ hours of Twilight hotness= Amazing!!!

Gonna go see all 3 movies tomorrow!!! Lets see how this goes!!

From the mouth of a 2 year old

First of all my cousin is BACK!!! Yeah!! Very excited about her being back home! Miss her and E way tooo much!

Second: I have had a bloggers block, hence no recent blogs.

So sorry about the fewness in blogs. Been a crazy couple of weeks. Found out my brother is coming home soon, my bf is also coming home and I had to take the CLEP. Excited about the first two but I am anxious/nervous about the third. It takes 4 weeks for the results of the CLEP to come back and it has only been 2. The hair pulling has begun so by week 4 I will be bald.

Anywho........

So if you can't tell, I am super excited that my cousin and my niece are back home. So this past weekend I spent lots of time with K, E and H. So I go out to her house and she tells me that she had to run to the post office but that H is there and will let me in. I go in and while waiting for K to get home, H and I began to chitchat. I cover all sorts of topics in my jumping from one subject to another very fast in my normal way. I then hit the topic of my brother coming home, which lead me to a funny story that happened during while I was seeing my brother off.

When we went up to see him off, he wanted to introduce us to a couple of his buddies, G and Hichos-Hichos. So we went to dinner and had a wonderful time with everyone. Back at the hotel, after Bubba dropped the boys back off at the barrack, Bubba informed everyone that Hichos-Hichos had told him that he was totally in love with yours truly. Needless to say I was totally flabbergasted. Driving all day, crying the days before (BF left a couple of days before Bubba deployed) I know I looked like crap and yet my brothers friends was head over heels for me. Anyway for the following he went everywhere we went. Before D-Day (deployment day) my mom invited both of the boys to come down to Florida when they came back if they wanted to. Hichos-hichos immediately told my mom he would love to.

Back to present day, I was telling this story to H and K. Both absolutely thought it was the funniest thing and kept saying 'Hichos-Hichos' over and over again. Well with E being 2 she repeats everything so she was also saying it. Anyway, we went to the mall later that day and while we were walking around, E started saying 'I want my Hichos-hichos'. We all looked at each other, wonder who she was talking about. She then proceeded to point to me and say 'Hichos-hichos'. H and K started rolling with laughter as E kept pointing to me and say 'Hichos-hichos'. So today before church, K told E that they were going to see Aunt Danielle. E proceeded to get a confused look on her face. K then said that they were going to see Hichos-hichos and she got all excited.

So now instead of Aunt Danielle I am now Aunt Hichos-hichos.

This will be an intersting couple of months to come.

H- I can still come up to visit you if things become interesting as we think they will be?

Mail Stops

That has to be my favorite phrase right now!! If you are military you know exactly what this is my favorite phrase. For those civilians that have no idea it means to stop sending packages, letters, ect. cause they are COMING HOME!!!!! My brother, Bubba the Marine (OOH-RAH!) , told my mom to give everyone the heads up and call a mail stop, which means he will be home soon!! Thank God, I will be relieved when I can hug him again and know that he is safe and sound!!!

Anyway, I also got an e-mail saying that my adopted solider is coming home, so another Mail Stop. I am part of a group called Solider's Angels. It is an AMAZING group. They have soliders who might not have some one here at home that will write to them, send packages, etc. So they adopt them out to individuals that are part of the group. So in essence we become that solider's angel. When my brother was in boot camp, I found out about the group and thought, oh there wouldn't be that many soliders to adopt but I wanna try it. I couldn't believe how many soliders are waiting to be adopted! I have done several adoptions and I feel blessed to know that I am making the day of one of our armed forces, letting them know that we here at home are still behind them and that someone it thinking about them. I have never recieved anything back, which they say might happen because where the solider is located, and that is fine by me. Just knowing that they have someon here thinking about them is enough for me. Now the group is called Solider's Angels but they have Marines, Army, Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard and all the Reserves. I have had several Army soliders but I have had a Marine Chaplin and a Seamen.

I am always excited when I get my new adoptee! To figure out what they do, where they are is so interesting, like my last adoptee was part of an IED group that disarmed any IED along routes that were travelled but military conveys. Believe me I was ready for this Mail Stop, worrying about him and his BB (Battle Buddies, Steve, an army friend explained this one to me).

But even though I am excited about getting a new adoptee, I am more excited about getting the Mail Stop. This means that whatever tour they were doing is over and they are coming home, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! I may never get a letter from them, but I am glad that I can brighten the day of one of our armed forces! Because they are doing fighting for me to have the freedoms that I enjoy in daily life. Being a military sister I enjoy it even more cause I know how much it is appricated through my marine, how much he lights up when he gets one of our letters/packages.
