Goosebumps

So...yep....

uh huh....

Not much going on around here....It's hotter than hell (which I hear is PRET-TY hot) and there seems to be more creepy crawlies around here than ever before. That includes the gross ones that we won't talk about, but also...lizards. Lots of baby lizards, actually. Picture included.

At 5:30 am, I walk outside and get goosebumps...oooo, it's kinda chilly, I'm thinking to myself...I walk by...it says it's 80 degrees. That's ridiculous. Our bodies are gonna hate the weather in America when we get back. Guess what will warm us up? Beer. Oh, and the love and warmth of our friends and family. Yeah, blah blah blah...that too. ha. jk peeps...jk.

I'm never gonna say going out to the desert for training is "hot" again. Ok, that's probably like when you wake up with a hangover and say "I'm never drinking again"....I'll probably whine about it being hot in the harsh deserts of Idaho...but deep down, I will know, it's not Iraq hot. Thank you eight pound six ounce newborn infant jesus.

What else...OH, mom got the house moved. She's such a trooper. Taking care of my dogs, kid, bills, and even moving my house while I'm gone. She gets a gold star. Winner winner, chicken dinner. I can't wait to go home to the new house and get comfy. I can't wait to make it my own. I've already started looking online for new furniture and I have all these plans that will probably never pan out, but a girl can dream, right?

Unfortunately, I missed the 4th of July. I guess, I didn't MISS it, because I was awake/alive/semi-conscious  for it, but I mean, I missed the FUN 4th of July, where you get to BBQ and watch fireworks with the family. The prices we pay for some college money. :) Iraq can take away my holidays and my enthusiasm for outdoors activities, but they can't take away my dreams. This time next year...hopefully we'll be on vacation. We'll keep this vacation family oriented and in the United States. ha
