We are headed back west to.....................drum roll......................

didn't we just come from there? you ask!! why yes we did.......and I guess it is true what they say about Holloman....that once you are stationed there you can never escape it!! Oh well they have really great food, a wonderful theater scene, white sands, historic Ruidoso, beautiful Cloudcroft, the pistachio farm...............and much much more............they, as a teeny tiny town have more to offer than this waste of space town in Florida!! YEAH Holloman!! were glad your not Minot or Dyess or Cannon.........

This could be fun.......

It may be a story. It may be photography, I may sew or stitch or bake something. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!5- I reserve the right to do whatever I want!The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must re-post this on your own blog and offer the same deal to 5 of your own lucky blog readers. So, the first 5 people to leave a comment telling me they are in, win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it.

My mom says its time for a new post.

Billy has graduated to his own little big boy table......and he loves it! i've been really bummed out lately so I bought myself these Daisies from Sam's and put them in my favorite blue vase that Big Billy bought me.

Big Billy really wants me to make Staff Sergeant this year so he bought me this little bitty computer to study on at work.........i love it

Lastly, when we first bought our house this room was a junk room, then we cleaned it up and turned it into a game room, but Big Billy kept bringing his 360 out because he wanted to play
Halo on the big TV, so now we turned it into our home gym!! Third times a charm

About to hit the year mark

So.....as most of you know we have been attempting to get pregnant for a while.......Well, to be exact! it will be one year in exactly one month and my doctor is starting to throw out terms like "second-line infertile" I guess meaning that I have successfully had a pregnancy that resulted in a baby but am now unable to get pregnant! ARGHHH......why the heck cant I have a baby!! I mean you got el-ding-bat giving birth to eight when she was so obviously having them for the wrong reasons......and I just want one! (at least one more) Billy needs a little play mate!
ARGHHH

Sewing

I started sewing finally.......this is a baby carrier I made.....it turned out really good and I have always wanted those cloth grocery bags, but they always look so cheap so I wanted to make them instead.....anyhow from the front it turned out good, but I guess I forgot to line up the sides....oh well, I'm gonna make like five so I really dont care to re-do it.

Congratulations Billy!!

TOTALLY BUMMED OUT!!

This has been a very action packed week for us. First on Tuesday we found out that the assignment team would be here with our order on the 9th.......YEAH!!! but then the very next day our Wing Weapons Manager came up to Billy and told him that they are switching us to group three (the last group to leave) so now not only are we not going to get orders in the next couple weeks we have to wait until April for the overseas orders and who knows how long for the stateside orders.......ARGHHHH!!!

Plus we are among a very select group to stay behind so we have to do the very fun job of turn in!........can you imagine all the crap you have to have to maintain the weapons systems on an F-15 Aircraft!!! I have alot of work ahead of me!!!
