4 More Years

So yesterday Mr.W made a huge commitment that will change our lives for the next 4 years.

He took his oath and officially re-enlisted.

I'm so proud of him and of the decisions he has made to support our family. We are so lucky for the opportunity we are receiving to go to Italy, seeing as we would probably never get to do something like this if it weren't for the Army. I'm very excited for the years to come and the adventures that come along with it!

Happy ( Belated ) Turkey Day

 

So I would like to make a list of things that I am thankful for this year:

• My amazing husband
• My beautiful daughter
• My wonderful friends & family
• My health
• And the great support I've been getting with this deployment

This year Lilly and I watched the parade with some friends who came over for breakfast of pancakes and bacon... YUMMMMMM. After that we had a nap break for the kids, which was also when we got ready for dinner. Then we all went to my friends church for dinner. IT WAS AMAZING. Lilly really like it too. It was her first time having REAL turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. It was fun.
