The Ball

The Marine Corp Birthday Ball was last Wednesday, November the 4th, which is weird because the real birthday of the Marine corp is on November 10th. Anyway the ball was at the Pechenga Indian Casio and Resort in Temecula. It was a good time and for once the food was good. The past 2 balls I have been to the food is not so good. This year was a lot of fun because we were at a table with a lot of friends and they were pretty funny. The table ended up being divided into to sides. The Mexicans and the Mormons. The Mormon side was told that there was milk to drink if we wanted to come to an after party. But we declined :) It was a fun night even though we didn't win anything at the raffel this year. Now here are some pictures not in any real order.

The past few weeks

Here are the pictures of Kamas coming home. The wind was blowing that day, hence the hair in my face, but these are the pictures we have of us that day. We dont know what is going on in the second picture. We only have these two pictures because Kamas was eager to get back to the hotel. After all he had been gone for 7 months.

Here is a cute picture of us with no wind and we are both looking at the camera. We are at our nephews baptizim in Malad.

While we were in Malad Kamas decided that I should have a pistol of my own. So we bought me a Springfield XD in a .40 cal. It is a sub-compact which means that it has a smaller barrel so I can put it in my purse :). And it is really fun to shot. We also did a little trap shooting with Kamas's family. I am hard core as you can tell from these pictures.

The first picture shows what can happen in you mount a scope too too far back. When the gun recoils the scope will hit you in the head. So let this be a warning to everyone on the that dangers of scopes, not guns, just scopes. In the second picture Kam is shooting his "sinper" rifle ( the one with the dangerous scope). Apparently you have to be laying down to shot this gun and if you a super prepared you happen to have a piece of carpet with you so you don't have to lay on the rocks. The last picture is Kam shooting one of his pistols. He was trying to look hard core like me.

So now you have seen an overview of the past couple weeks of our lives. Tomorrow we leave for Washington D.C. for a week. Yes we are that cool.

Holy Crap

So I am sitting here at midnight just chillin on the internet, you know checkin up what people are doing, and suddenly it hits me that Kam is coming home. Soon. I was on myspace and saw that one of his friends just got home and that is when it hit me. It now seems like it is really happening. I can't and won't tell you when he will be home. First because I don't have an exact date and second security reasons. Now that I look back at the summer it seems like time has gone by fast and slow all at the same time. So now I will tell you some of the non-obvious (sp)reasons I am excited to have Kam home

1. I hate driving and Kamas likes to drive
2. Someone else can take Zulu out to the bathroom
3. He can wash the car and truck about a million times better than I can
4. He will kill spiders
5. He likes to cook
6. He helps with laundry-kind of (he will only fold his own clothes)
7. We will be back in California!
8. When I wear high-hills I can hold on to him so I don't fall
9. He loves going to movies as much as I do
10. He can carry the heavy groceries

And of course I am excited to have him home for the obvious reasons, but I won' t list those because I want to keep this post PG.

One small thing I am not excited for-moving

So I suck at Blogging

As the title says I have sucked at blogging for the past few months. So here is the update. I am working at Thomas Market again this summer. I guess its not too bad for a few more months. It looks like I will be staying in Malad till October which kind of sucks. Kamas is doing good and is pretty busy right now. He got promoted to Corpral finally! It was a long time coming and we are so glad that is has finally happened. In other news I have started the HCG diet and it is working wonderfully. I started at 155 pounds and I am now down to 144. I still have about 14 more pounds to lose I guess I will keep on truckin. Zulu is good and is starting to listen to me a little better. But she is cute so I guess I will keep her. That is about all that is going on in our lives. Sorry for no pictures but I am lazy and don't want to wait for them to download. But hey, at least I blogged.

It's Official

I am moving back to Cali until July. It's either that or a weekend in Vegas :)

No Snow for Me

So it has been about a month since Kam has left. It still pretty much sucks having him gone. I think of a million things to say to him through out the day and then when we talk its like I have gone brain dead. I am hard pressed for conversation. I'm not sure why this is but I find it pretty annoying. Also if you know Kam he hates talking on the phone, but luckily we have webcams. So he is a little more inclined to talk if I can see him. Also I can tell when he is distracted and then I put him in his place. I remind him that he should be talking to his awesome wife and not checking his email :)

As for me I am a substitute teacher for elementary, middle school, and the high school. I usually sub 2 days a week. It is good for right now. In June I will be joining Team Thomas again. I could be working there right now but that would be more fun than I can handle at the moment. Zulu is pretty much potty trained now. She and Nitro are best friends and play all the time. I am so ready for summer. I told my family that if it snows again will be moving back to Cali until July.

The past 4 weeks

So the past 4 weeks have been a bit crazy. We came home leave to visit the fams. On our way home we got a puppy. She is a Mini schnauzer named Zulu. Then we went back to Cali for a week to pack up our apt and put everything in storage. Kamas left on the 15th. I moved back in with my parents while Kamas is gone. Since I have been home I have been subbing at the Elementary, Middle, and High School. I also have been potty training my puppy. Here are some pictures. I forgot my camera the day Kamas left so I don't have any pictures of that.
