In the creek.

What a busy day. I ran my five miles this morning. Went to Walmart for snacks. Packed the car. Showered. Ran to your mom's to get Autumn's birthday gift. Picked the girls up from school. Grabbed lunch at Chickfila. Drove to Charleston.

Millie was miserable. I caught her shoving the stylus for her leappad in the back of her mouth and chomping down on it. I think she might be cutting her 2 year molars. I'm going to tylenol her tonight and see if she doesn't perk up.

Autumn is coughing. I can tell she has congestion sitting on her chest. Every time we get out of the car though, she seems to stop coughing. I was going to give her a shot off her inhaler, but she seems to be OK. I will just keep monitoring her for the momemnt. Hopefully she doesn't get a build up in her chest or anything.

I wish I had a picture to share with you, but I do not. Sorry.

I got to chat iwth Cindy for a long time today on the phone. It was nice to catch up with her. We talked about everything under the sun! I sure do hope we can make a visit to them sometime soon.

That is it for me. Going to try and get these girls to bed. I love you.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The Count: 118 and 95 days of traveling 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.
