Nothing says friendship like

Dusting the very dusty fan in your friends house because she is too pregnant and her husband is too deployed to.

You know how frightening the combination of Cherish and ladders are, right? Well, initially I was going up to check on a light bulb situation, but it turned into dusting the fan because holy wow! That was a lot of dust!!! Now, I need an 8 foot ladder to take care of my own fan.

We took the girls to Monkey Joe's this morning. It took Millie and Reagan some time to warm up to the idea of it, but once they did, they had a blast. Autumn and Riley owned the place. I'm starting to wonder if it is a second child syndrome thing going on there because at Millie's/Reagan's age, Autumn/Riley were owning places like monkey joe's.

After they played their hearts out, we headed over to Paula Deen's restaurant. By the time we got there, a sign was out saying that the restaurant was booked for lunch. We went over to the Mellow Mushroom. It was a 35 minute wait. We were going to stay, but the girls (Autumn/Riley) said they didn't want to wait.

We left and headed over to the mall. There was about a million people at the mall. Our lunch operations were not going well today. We ended up at Walmart where I grabbed some take and bake pizzas and chips/salsa. We came home, put our pj's back on and snacked the evening away.

There were games (board games, duck duck goose, eye spy), movies, snacking, singing and dancing.

I think everyone was very much ready for bed this evening.

We are going to church tomorrow with Angie and the girls. Not sure what if anything else is on the menu. We may be headed home tomorrow, but I think we will likely stay and head home on Monday. The girls do not have school on Tuesday, so we will still get out down time before school.

I love you.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The count: 118 and 106 days of waiting for you. PS-I'll have pictures for you when I get home.

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.
