Secret Scoop
I wasn't going to say anything until we knew for sure. But I'm not sure how long this is going to drag on so I thought I would share our secret combination's.For the past five years we have been stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. To say that we are ready to move on is like saying, I sorta, kinda, maybe, don't think children should play with matches and gasoline. We are more than ready to move. Because we like change. We like moving. We like new challenges. We can't commit to a spot because our feet are itching like crazy! We are born wanderers.The Army Man, Joel, presented a delicious plot to me.

We're Alive and Unharmed
I'm sure you've all heard the news about the shootings on Fort Hood. Our family is safe. The phone lines are jammed. So if you are trying to get a hold of us send us a text message or an e-mail. We are very lucky because Joel took this week off of work and the kids had an early out today from school. Let me again assure you that none of us is hurt. We are on lockdown.

Thanks for your concern and your overwhelmingly sweet messages on my Facebook page. Love to Love y

He is loving this spooky holiday season. So almost everyday he draws a pumpkin. Freehand. No templates. No adult help. Just pure artistry and skill!
