Went to see the lights today.

It was 72 degrees here today. I didn't bring any shorts!! Autumn wore short sleeves and pants, but I had to keep a close eye on her, she kept getting red in the face. She is really starting to come around to Grandpa.

Autumn and Grandpa

After some playtime, we made our way over to James Island County Park.

Cherish, Autumn, and Cole
That is Cole in the background poaching in on mine and Autumn's photo!

Train Ride
We took a really fun train ride and because it was in the upper 50's, Autumn and I were quite comfortable- not cold at all.

Pushing buttons
Changing the colors of the lights on the Christmas trees.

Autumn wasn't getting a good enough view, so Grandma and Grandpa opened the moon roof and before you know it,
Looking through the moon roof
Autumn was standing with her head out of the car. She loved it.

Christmas tree
She was oohhinng and ahhhing and pointing and saying everything. Tree, Ho, Ho, Ho, Deer...

Overall, just a very good time.

NEWS: Autumn now says the word "Candy"... Thanks mom! Also, she is currently cutting four teeth. I'm assuming that is why she has been so whiny lately.

I miss you. I love you. Your favorite wife and airman. xoxo

The count: 28 Days without you.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e

I've gone back in forth in my mind a million times as to whether or not I should even write what I'm getting ready to write. When I think really hard about it, the truth is, I need to write it. I need the essence of who I am to be preserved somewhere. How I came to the decisions that I did, where my mind was at, where my heart was at in it. I need something that my children can look back on and try to understand me, or at least the essence of me. This tale begins about a month ago. I found a lump in my left breast while I was in the shower. I always do my breast exams in the shower. I'm pretty faithful about it too. About once a month or so, I check around and make sure I don't feel anything weird. That isn't easily done, you see, I have lumpy breasts, so I really don't know what I'm looking for. Lumpy breasts run in my family. This one particular day, about a month ago, I felt something that felt weird to me, but I was unsure about it.
